Who are you really?
 
Do you ever act differently to who you really are to gain something? Or just for amusement?

For instance, I often act like a shy little sweet young lady, because people will be more willing to help me... But I really am not that. I sort of open my eyes all wide and look all lost and bite my lip, acting like I know nothing. Its terrible, but its kind of funny how people then just want to take me under their wing and so on.

So do you have another personality? Do you dumb yourself down, or put on an accent, act more confident then you really feel? I am interested to know.

Nemui 08-07-2008 09:05 AM

nope im me a hundred percent of the time.
Im an all around sweet girl and im proud of it.
i Really find now need to pretend to be something else, because
all that will do is get you in trouble.
and im not the kinda girl who likes trouble. XD

so what you see and hear is what you get with me.
silly, random, funny, sweet, shy, and all thats nice.
with a bit of meanness when needed. lol

I don't know. I guess not. I don't act like someone else. But my true personality has so many different traits, I can sometimes confuse people. I can give off the wrong kind of vibe, because I don't speak my thoughts - I speak parts of my thoughts, and it can end up sending the wrong kind of messege. I don't like speaking my mind. >_< But sometimes, when I'm hyper, or even too tired, I can blurt things out and regret it later.

mystic kiwi 08-07-2008 09:13 AM

I tend to act dumb all the time, but that's more just because I'm just like that. I don't see the point in acting like I'm someone I'm not. I will say the dumbest things on purpose though just to see people's reactions to it. I get made fun of all the time for it, which I find funny.

Embella 08-07-2008 09:21 AM

I think its cool that you are all yourselves. I am silly and like to play games. But I sort of see it as acting. How well can I do? Like live action role play. Or sometimes if I have come up with a character for a story, I want to test their personality out. It confuses me though, because who am I now? haha

BoomBoom 08-07-2008 09:31 AM

I dunno people perceive me as this sweet innocent little... thing. Which I am not - to a point at least I think. My mind is sooo full of filth, I just don't vent it on everyone.
Otherwise I tend to be myself. Which is a loud creepy obsessive girl-type creature. I say what I feel 'cept when it might really upset someone. And yeh... can't think of much more?

Embella 08-07-2008 09:32 AM

I think thats cool :3

Neko Neko Kitty 08-07-2008 09:36 AM

I am always me. I'm very shy until I get to know people then I'm outgoing and fun. A lot of people who don't know me perceive me as sweet and innocent, but I think that is just because I'm quiet.

Ebil 08-07-2008 09:39 AM

I play stupid and helpless when I want someone to help me out.
I don't overdo it, as I don't like to take advantage too often, but now and again when there's something I really don't want to do (like change my tire when I get a flat), I can do the poor little me is clueless act very well.
Works so far, I've had several flats and not had to change one myself yet xDD

MasterChiefrei 08-07-2008 09:46 AM

Well usually I'm just myself with best friends and family but whenever in public I have an alternate polite personality. Not that I'm rude to my friends but my language is not clean whatsoever and I have the finesse of a football player. XD My friends have taken notice that whenever I'm in a restaurant and a server takes our order my voice gets sweeter and higher in pitch *not too high since my voice is kinda deep*. ><; I will admit that when around strangers I hold back and don't speak up since I don't want to offend anyone. This completely changes when I play Xbox live and get into a Gears of War match, then I'm back to my cursing ways. <3
As for trying to get a response out of someone for laughs or trying to look cute and pathetic it doesn't suit me. My personality begs that I be an oddball with friends and polite with strangers. The only time I've dumbed myself down is so that, as a freshman, I wouldn't get killed by the upperclassmen. XD

Embella 08-07-2008 10:10 AM

Hahaha yeah. Its amazing how different situations bring out different sides of you.

I like watching some girls too, when they are around guys. They turn into totally different people. And little things they do, that arent normally them, can make guys react in all sorts of different ways. Its very manipulative... but kind of amusing

Cloth Roses 08-07-2008 10:23 AM

I'm generally easy to get along with, but if I don't like you, I will be the biggest biotch ever. I'm cold, snarky, rude and I aim to get you mad.

If I want something, I snuggle up to them.

The Wandering Poet 08-07-2008 10:28 AM

Not really... I just act like myself... though I act differently with each person, since I go by the "treat other as you want treated", so depending on how they treat me, I repeat it =)

Witch 08-07-2008 10:37 AM



No. It's too troublesome to keep up
and remembering your fake personalities.
I'm not an actor of life, so I rather be myself.
It's not easy as it is anyway,
no need to make it more complicated. xD


Mekoness 08-07-2008 10:40 AM

I act like myself in terms of there are different sides of myself I show to different people. Lol. In class I'm quiet and reserved, with my friends I'm loud and kind of obnoxious. Comfort and familiarity level I suppose.

Embella 08-07-2008 11:34 AM

Yeah I have to agree with that. When I am myself, I am probably more cafeful as to how I act around strangers, but around friends I am crazy I swear. I guess everyone has different sides.

Same here, except I'm not so shy.

Volucria 08-07-2008 12:32 PM

I don't pretend to be something/someone I'm not, but I do act differently around different groups of people. Because I have many interests and like many kinds of humour, and not all of my friends are interested in the same things. It's rather pointless to talk about manga to a group of friends who aren't interested in that, or be all fangirly about certain bands the other group of friends have never heard of.

The only times I kind of act "weird" is occasionally when I'm alone with my boyfriend. I'll act all lost and helpless and he'll squee and think I'm cute. :XD

Shiny Coffee Fiend 08-07-2008 12:43 PM

I'm generally very "me" all the time - there's just several different facets to "me". I can be quiet and polite and sociable one minute, and then hyperactive and bouncy and "girly" the next, or completely geeky to the extreme in three seconds, and then back down to less friendly and more sarcasm and growling (which apparently scares small children!), and onwards it goes.

Some things that don't change much - I'm almost always ditzy. In some way. It pretty much expands to cover all of my personality. I'm also always wordy, using big words sometimes or lots of words to say a very simple thing. People find that hugely entertaining, especially with the geeky. Now imagine someone using big words and lots of words, and then three seconds later trying to find their glasses while they're located on top of their head. Funny image, yes? ^^;

I'm also generally not very shy anymore. I used to be really shy, but now I've got little hesitation to talk to people (provided they've either shown interest in talking, or I know them, or I'm not instantly scared of them, because there are some people who are just really scary! Also I don't like approaching people, it's weird and makes me feel stalkerish even if I'm totally not stalking them) and usually to babble inanely at them. Because why not, right? xD

Also I really hope this makes sense. ^^;;

icandiee 08-07-2008 01:11 PM

I'm sweet and shy in class and then when i'm with my friends I can be sort of mean :/

Railias 08-07-2008 01:59 PM

If the person was someone I recently met, I'd be a very respectful and kind person.

Meretricious Death 08-07-2008 02:04 PM

In church, I'm quiet, shy, and all round "goody-two-shoes".

In school, in my own class, I'm quiet and I sleep...A LOT.

With my friends, I'm a R-I-O-T! I jump I scream I go KRAZY!!!

Honest. So I guess there are different sides of me...and of course, I get all shy with guys around. EEP! xD

Embella 08-07-2008 09:54 PM

lol yeah around guys I can get a little shy too. But then I can switch to pretend like I am more confident then I feel, but then Im pretty sure I mostly make a fool of myself ahaha. But its all good

Eecho Xii 08-07-2008 09:59 PM

Hm I pretty sure I act like who I really am all the time. Except maybe when I'm sad I don't let people see that or something..but that's cause I don't like people prying. xD Hm I'm also a procrastinator, with everything.

Embella 08-07-2008 10:02 PM

Awwww same! I am the worst procrastinator! Or the best? I duno lol
