I love this theory of life, where you do things for others because of what it does for you. It's extremely selfish, and yet nobody ever has to know :)

i dont know if you're trying to talk shit or not, but i'll say this... is it anymore selfish than doing things for others so you can get something in return(or expect to get something in return)?

geez, I was kidding man, let your guard down a little... I think all of that acid and rave music has gotten to your brain :)

thats rudeeee :/

















hahahah

edit: sorry, i forget who hates or likes me sometimes, so, i dont know when someones playing or not.

Dudewithsuperlongscreenname, I must ask - being relatively commensurate in your politeness to most people, do you ever feel disingenuous?

I'm not criticizing you; I'm genuinely curious as to how people are meant to discern your true feelings towards them.

I am Loud, funny, loud, gregarious, loud, etc.
I am comfy anywhere from 4 star hotels to punk dives to crack head neighborhoods to art museums to socialite functions to betwene your momm'as hairy fur pie lick lick lick

...Well, for one thing I think I'm considered arrogant. And I am. But I usually pull it off in such a way that it's genuinely funny as opposed to obnoxious. At least to people who know me.

A lot of people wonder how I have any friends at all because I'm such a piece of shit, but... then others say I'm very enigmatic.

I'm very different around people I don't know a great deal. I tend to ignore them until they come on to my radar. That feeds other people's opinion of me as an arrogant guy, but it's more that I wouldn't really know what to say to those people, and they'd probably just be offended if I behaved like "myself", whatever that means. I'm also very happy by myself, and have no need to be with others. Often I prefer it; I'll stay at home even when invited out various places just because I'd rather listen to music or something.

In summary, I'm a bastard, but a lot of people want to be friends with me I guess. Also since I've been at university I've found I get along better with the lay-dees than guys, but I think that's because they're all dull. At school it was the diametric opposite situation. I'm also a little less intimidating nowadays, though I think I'm still very much a leader figure than a "tag along" type.

EDIT: And I reckon it'd be funny to see all the long-time boarders in a room together... they'd probably all be staring at the floor with their hands nervously shoved in their pockets or something...

So in other words, you truly are arrogant, and since you have somehow reasoned in your mind that being a prick makes you kinda cool, you aren't going to change. You might find that by not being this way, you will make even MORE friends, and these friends will be true friends, not just people hanging around you because they think you might be cool and want to be cool by association.

EDIT: Sorry, I tend to assume the type of person somebody is by little details. But in my defense, I am also usually right.

EDIT EDIT: Sorry, I was being a jerk.

When drunk. I have a very embarrasing propensity for knocking drink over and saying really inappropriate things at the wrong moment in a loud voice. Apart from that I'm a bit reserved but come out of me shell pretty regularly.

Shy, can sometimes say things that are unintentionally rude or funny. However I do get along with people. I'm mostly silent.

It's alright. It's not a concerted effort or some form of pretense, I think it's more than likely a genuine personality deficiency or even some sort of mild disorder; the anti-social tendencies thing. But I'm not some really awful character, it's just that my actions often belie the fact that I'm alright.

You're right though, there's less of an impetus to actually start behaving nicely if you still have friends even when you're a bit of an asshole. The above post probably makes me sound worse than I am though. It's more that, in the social construction of "normal" ways of interacting with people or whatever, I probably come off as aloof, indifferent and detached. And I'm pretty fine with that really. That's all.

i'm generally nice, i guess. but i'm really intoverted unless i feel comfortable. i do know i'm very standoff-ish if you just come up to me and start talking. then i think i seem insane or arrogant.

i'm totally different around my friends, though. usually i'm doing things like yelling "god is going to get you, sinners!" or just being loud and i'm told i'm quite witty.

Insane,Lazy,Bored

I can't, generally. Apparently, some people are better at describing my behaviour better than i can.

Lethargic today. I was ill over the weekend and still haven't fully recovered.

Lethargic and a bit nauseous.

I'm definitely an introvert. I'm ill-at-ease with people I don't know, I'm more confident with my friends or with people I've known for a long time.

I don't know how other percieve as I've never asked or been told, but I think I probably come across as a deluded, arrogant bastard. I don't mean to, honest. It's just that I am usually right. I think I tell too many jokes. Either that or people are laughing at me rather than with me. I'd like to think I'm kind and nice, generally pleasant..

Have you seen that volkswagen advert with the guy who works in the office and he's lonely?

Like that.

Also, I am deeply offended by your debauchery and your decadent lifestyle. I am a religious man and your behavior is unacceptable. You should be ashamed of yourself. You're not, though, so I am ashamed for you.

Why am I on such a high horse?

I'm very shy when at first but when people get to know me I'm usually quite social. I do have a problem with girls who I feel attracted too. In that case I'm always very shy and I try not to say anything stupid.

I'm kind of like everyone on this board it seems like that everyone has the same type of personality here.
