What impression do people have of you?

I'm all over the place.
I guess I'll concentrate on few weirdness anecdotes for this post.
-My grandmother had a chicken farm, and being there on school vacation( 8th grade). I would spend time in the coupe and even put a lawn chair in there.
A game warden visited, and being a small town of 595 people, probably knew everyone and hence the social visit. She and grandmother were talking and I broke stride in the listening side of the conversation to crow with the roosters, while standing with them outside the coupe. They looked at me like
-I recall a stimming I'd do with a finger snapping, a kind of distracted in thought thing along with a light snapping of the fingers, while with people.....I thought nothing of until the negative feedback.
.
Quiet, sound, stupid, retarded, loner, weird, freak, eccentric, cool, nice, decent, smart, intelligent, shy, crazy, useless, useful (Everyone seems to have different opinions), genius, gamer, obsessive, kind, mean, bright and other stuff.
Some good ones, but some bad ones too. Most people think that I'm nice, I think. I also like being thought of as eccentric, but it depends on what that person really means. I wonder if anyone thought of me as that kid that was extremely good at spelling.
Very different. It depends on the people I meet which side of me I usually show. Some people think Im extreme outgoing and some people think Im very shy. Some people think Im agressive and a some people think Im so kind that its naive. Some people think Im hiding something and some people think Im the most honest person they have met. Therefore people are often surprised and wandering about me. I have heard a million times sentences like "I never thought you would like things like that" or "I never thought you could do/say something like that" or "I thought you were like (etc.)". The people who are close to me have seen most of my sides and are sometimes confused. Im impulsive and have not figured out how to be only one harmonious personality.

I bolded all the ones in the above quote that apply to me...add "one big joke" to that list and you pretty much get the labels that society is constantly giving me over and over again.
Gosh, I don't know.
Well, bad first: obviously, weird and strange and all the rest of it. Once I heard one of the chavs at my old school say "god she's so weird...she never speaks!" which I was quite happy with. That was a nice comment, for her
They also made fun of me for being clever (I got good grades in the lower years) and reading a lot, which I couldn't really 'get my head around'. Also for being 'posh', which I suppose is my accent, and then the way I talked, although by Year 7 I'd more or less understood that big words were forbidden until later.
Good- people think I'm original, they've told me, and smart. People in the past and at my new school, which is gratifying because when you lock yourself in your room and you don't see anyone for days, and then when you do see them again you can't say a single thing to them, it's easy to start thinking you're boring and weird again. Also when people say you're fun. That's nice. But that's only a few people.
I think people think I'm very quiet, and then sometimes I'll come out with something random to say or I'll flap a little.
To the weirder side again: I guess I have some strange outdoor habits; neighbors said we were weird recently.
Funny thing is that I somewhat sense the "projected aura"^.
A sense of an innate alienation in consciousness would best describe it, and my movements through space reflect that.
Deep down it doesn't surprise me to hear the feedback.
It's kinda grown on me now.
Though, I'd hate to be on the receiving end of a witch hunt. ![]()
The positives:
Mysterious
Quiet
Shy
Posh
Scottish
Irish
A person of yorkshire descent
Scandinavian
David Bowie (except I'm female so, not sure if that's positive or not!)
Hippie (probably beacause I 'space out' a lot)
Intelligent (I think that's more to do with the language/words that I use)
Diplomatic
The negatives:
Stupid
Thick
Ignorant
Aloof
Depressive
Strange
Weird
Psychotic
Liar (I can't recall the last time I even attempted a lie because I could never even get away with white lies)
"He" (rather than "she")
Various expletives, (I've only ever encountered on the telly previously), in my current job, none of them are deserved nor necessary, nor would I ever use myself.........gits!
Flirt (never even tried)
Loner
Scary
Android
Alien
Oh, yes and my VERY favourite "Freak".........I love that one!
Marvelous how the negatives far outweigh the positives!

First impression people get of me is that I am underage. Big mistake. But then again, I look very young for my age and act immature so I can't blame them.
In about 50 % of the cases people can't get my gender right. Again, I can't blame them. I'd rather be an "it" than a "she".
Most people think me intelligent. God knows how they reach this decision after 5 minutes. I can only presume that I look to them like a troubled teenage prodigy and when they discover that I am 35 years old, it's already too late.
Also, people think I am a bit scary. Suits me fine, they don't know that I am scared of them more than they are of me.
A little something like this:
