john lennon Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I am John Lennon after all, so I think it's pretty much my right to make this completely unnecessary and weird thread, right? How do people perceive you? Like, when you meet people, what do they usually think of you? Why do you think that's the impression they get? I'm very interested.

DR DOOM Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 As a paedophile or sex offender at best, I think. Nah, I look sort of imposing/stern/weird I guess but I'm well spoken and all that so I'd like to think that once I start talking with someone that sort of fades away. When somebody shows up at work and they are looking for me (and haven't met me before) they say he's the "interesting looking guy" which is probably nice talk for the fucking creepy weird fucker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 On this forum it's a funny one, because I've got a knack for writing, when folks from here meet me in real life I am sure they think "she's not as witty as she is on the forum". I'm quite quiet, reserved and good at smiling and listening. Occasionally like taking the mick, but don't tend to do it when I've just met someone. I'm one big let down. Can anyone who's met me attest to this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Honestly? I dont care. For the simple reason that its something i can never know for sure and also because peoples reactions are different from person to person and its more to do with whats going on in their heads than what i really am. I know what I am and who I am. Honestly, I dont think people care enough to build substantial impressions about me, they got lives to live. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved school tons so i can relate, started off born in England going to school here, then moved to Kashmir for a year and went to school there (where corporal punishment on school kids is still allowed...ever been beaten up by a 40 yr old woman with a table leg as a 9 yr old? ). Came back here after a year, got expelled, went to another one, its weird innit? Constant readjusting. My first school was full of skinheads...and theres me looking like black ink on a white shirt Edited November 11, 2016 by Len Cnut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You spend 10 years of your life feeling embarrassed or sorry about something you did one time and that person doesn't even remember it. It's funny when you leave school and join the workplace, I went from all my high school buddies to drinking with a bunch of 30-50 year olds down at the pub after and during work. When you're in school, 2 years is like an eternity as far as age gap goes but outside it's just people really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of something my sister once told me in a similar context, she was like 'you certainly think a lot of yourself dont you? What makes you think that the whole world has got nothing better to do that think about you?'. Quite liberating really. And she was right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) I've been told by people that I don't give off a good first impression, but then I seem pretty kind and smart once they get to know me better. I'm not sure why I don't come across well at first. But as others have pointed out here, it doesn't matter. Everyone is just busy worrying about themselves anyway.

KiraMPD Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I've been told that I'm uptight and bossy at work. And that I have permanent "bitch-face" unless I'm listening to music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlsFavoriteRose Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 oh yeah definitely. sadly a guy from my high school became a quadriplegic in a diving accident. he had been a track star, just graduated and was going to college on a track scholarship. post accident everyone thought he was dealing with it so well and then he got a hand controlled truck ( even though he had very limited use of his hands ) and shortly after he wrecked the truck and died. they investigated and ruled it a suicide so i guess he was not doing all that well...
