What Kind of Person Am I?
Well, I was thinking about whether we should have a thread that will allow a platform for everyone to write more about themselves, how they deal with people, their way of life and behavior and how they see themselves on this forum. Hence, this thread might serve as another branch of the NewBuddhist New Members Introduction Thread where we can leave aside those particulars about ourselves and just go on about what kind of person we are. Let me get the ball rolling and I hope everyone will also offer their own contributions :thumbsup:
How I see myself In this forum: For me, I prefer to see myself as a simple teenager among intellectuals. In this manner, I prefer to be seen as a somewhat curious teenager, one who may sometimes appear ignorant but tries his best to avoid saying the wrong thing. This teenager prefers to stick to the safety of the Lotus Lounge and only enters serious debates if he finds himself having the capabilities to do so.
How I am in real life: I am seen rather as someone who tries to satisfy everyone though sometimes it becomes a toll. A character analysis done on me showed that I am someone whose greatest weakness is criticism (and I'm not afraid to admit it! :winkc: ) hence I tend to watch my steps sometimes. I am not someone who can show gratitude very easily though I will do it in different ways. Don't expect a straight thanks to the face because I prefer to do so by exchanging the favor. I talk less when I know I do not have the knowledge and I rarely ask when I am in doubt because I believe in due time, the doubt clears up on its own. I am someone who prefers to be out of the crowd but yet appear normal and not seen as joining the bandwagon to do so.
Well, thats it about me and I hope I'll be able to read more about the profiles of other people. You can choose to follow the format but then again, feel free to express anyway you want!

That's a pretty clear and concise synopsis of your personality. Nicely done! I'll give mine a little thought and get back to you, K? This is also an interesting idea about identity when one thinks about the dissolution of identity a la not-self. So I'll definitely have to put some thought into it as I'll be straddling the line between self and not-self when I think about it. This should be interesting!
There's no such thing as a 'Simple Teenager'.....

The you that I see is the we that's in me.....

How I see myself In this forum: I, my dear mortals, see myself as a prescient Sandworm that has become the GOD EMPEROR OF NEWBUDDHIST.COM! MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
How I am in real life: I, my fleshly appendages, am seen as the prescient Sandworm that has become the GOD EMPEROR OF NEWBUDDHIST.COM! MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Once again, you're weird.

How I am in Real Life - Well obviously, it is more difficult to convey my doubts about religions as freely. However, I talk conservatively having to plan every word out before I say it so it sounds right. When I do say things, they are concise and rarely impulsive. I have a strange sense of humor in which laughter can be easily triggered by a variety of household items and the destruction of appliances or toys with aluminum baseball bats. :wtf: I know, pretty cool huh!!!:buck:
A warm welcome to another Iawa ( I am who am ). Fede should have some tea brewed in no time, the orange cranberry cake is in the oven.

How I am in real life: The quirky guy who operates as a dangerous balance in a social situation, going to extreme actions and showing empathy for others depending on the situation, but when alone, seen as "very weird" and "strangely dangerous". e.g. a highly-powered individual doing ridiculous things to make people laugh in a group, a quiet thinker alone, a fierce advocate of ideals in certain settings.
How people on a certain other forum see me: A defected wealking to the other side
What 'what' ?:-/
How I am in real life: I am a learner, so I like to think of myself as book smart, always earned great grades, and I love to study and read. HOWEVER The biggest dork in the history of the planet.
You may find that I ask questions and probably already even know the answers, but I question myself constantly. I am always interested to hear what people have to say, and hope that someday if I ever have the opportunity to raise a child of my own, I can teach them that same respect
