What impression do people have of you?

That I am just a lazy brat that should worry more about people than animals.

Apparently the kids in my high school thought I was a stoner. Strange because I never actually smoked anything

Otherwise, I've heard smart, lazy, weird sense of humor(not always a bad thing), absent-minded, and geeky.

That I'm very slow and always serious

I come across as strange, intelligent, sometimes hyper and attention-grabbing, sometimes withdrawn and quiet, and sometimes altogether incomprehensible (to others, at least; not to myself). I'm told I can be pretentious, as well, which is fine by me...

Unless I'm interviewing for a job, I couldn't care less.

Although, it is a little irritating having people say that I'm shy, gentle...and weird.

People who don't know me often think I'm stupid, rude, or just plain weird.

People who DO know me describe me as intelligent, loyal, caring... and weird. But I'm ok with that, normality is over-rated

I don't get described often.
But -

Quiet, shy, talented.

That I would probably be a nice person if they got to know me better.

When I was in elementary school I got called a crybaby a lot. Because I did cry a lot about insignificant things (e.g. a broken keychain).

People have sometimes thought I'm foreign, and that I can't speak the language very well.

People often say I'm likable, kind, funny and trustworthy

This is something I've always struggled with. I know that they invariably think I'm older than I am, because I've never told a person my age and had them not respond with surprise at how young I am. Generally, I can't judge what people think of or feel for me unless they tell me. Conveniently, I moved last year, and a number of the many people I have met since then have been surprisingly vocal in expressing their impressions of me.

Three people have called me "serious." Three have called me "a weirdo." Two have called me "shy." Three have called me "confident." Four have called me "intelligent" or "really smart." Two have expressed surprise at the apparent dichotomy of my personality (a serious, reserved, intellectual woman who also collects NES games and decorates her apartment with Wolverine Pez dispensers). One has expressed surprise at a different dichotomy (me seeming shy and timid but turning out to be very self-assured). Two have called me "attractive," one of whom also called me "amazing," but he was rather drunk at the time. One has called me "an alien." One has called me "nice" and "kind." One has called me "sweet." Two have called me "a positive person." One told me that I give off the vibe of some Zen monks she met--that's my favorite. Ironically, it was a boost to the ego, which immediately served to disprove her point.

I'm sure there's been more, but that's all I can recall at the moment.

Shy and intelligent, often. I think most people like me. I'm pretty easy going.

people in real life have the impression that i am aloof and untouchable.

i almost never respond to positive efforts to touch me. i do not know why . i have a soul that is large and wide and long and deep, and people can not reach me because i am too far inside myself to see them. it is like i live in my soul that is 30,000 feet under the sea, and i would die from the bends if i rose to meet them on the surface where they want to meet me.

so there one goes huh?

They think I am odd. They are right.

Shy, many probably think I'm rude cause I suck at socializing. Also some people have told me they thought I looked dumb when they first met me.
