I recently meet someone and was going to ask them to describe themselves in a paragraph. I realized I wasn’t able to do it myself. I also wasn’t sure how they would react. I thought I would ask here first and see how you folks react.

I’ll define paragraph as three to four sentences.

    Daydreamer that dreamt themself out of a functional life. Not just a late bloomer but still a sprout. A hopeful idealistic child in the body of a jaded misanthropic adult. I dance to a tune playing in my earphones where only I can hear it most of the time, unless someone is close enough.

      Your third sentence sounds like something I would say. Thank you so much for sharing.

      I hope others get a chance to hear your tune and maybe help you not be such a misanthrope. But, continue being a daydreamer

      Not sure I follow. Would you be willing to expand on this?

      I also apologize. I met someone IRL and this question came to mind. I have not asked for / seen any social media profiles.

      However you are correct, they could have something posted that “sums them up”. I’m just not aware. We just recently met.

      Appreciate the response!!

    You have the twelve personalities.
    Dominant, submissive, pedantic, curious, mean, innocent, humorous, trusting, romantic, nurturer, charming and horny.
    Everyone is all of them bar the aro-ace people who lack the latter four.
    I am 3 6 12 8 7 4 11 1 2 10 5 in that order.
    Results of me in real life may vary due to having mild to moderate mental illnesses.
    To make your own list, remind yourself that what you look for in a life partner is likely what you can score yourself high on on the complement side, so 1 likes 2 and vice versa 3&4, 5&6 etc…
    Maybe I should put 11 much higher on this list.

      Interesting, this feels rather scientific in the thought process. Or, someone who digs psychology at least.

      I think my initial thought for the question was more light hearted. A few things to describe yourself.

      Also, not sure this would be headed toward life partner status. Still, you bring up an interesting thought.

      I will give this some consideration and make my own list. May still prove valuable as I explore things with this person.

      Appreciate you making me think but, not too hard haha!

        This is someone who used AI girlfriend where you have those twelve options in pure form and started to see patterns for self-analyses, partner analyses and DnD character play.

          Interesting in and of itself, the use of AI for this simple question. But, I should assume AI will always be a factor in any discussions on the internet.

    I like to devalue myself in front of everyone, that is literally part of my personality. No matter how much people try to compliment me, I’ll always call them liars and tell them that I’m actually garbage. Because being proud of not being proud of yourself is something nobody dares to do.

    Ever wonder why I call myself Resol van Lemmy? Type that word backwards and you’ll know why. In fact, my profile picture is actually related to that very result.

    Ok I broke the rule. But still.

      It can be tough to see the positive in a compliment. I get it. You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself though.

      More people than you think do what you do. There entire lifestyles based on it.

      I can’t and won’t try to change your mind… again, all I can do is ask you to not be so hard on yourself. One compliment at a time.

      Thank you for sharing.

      Thank you for posting!! I like your response. It actually felt like a haiku 🙂 Yet it was very clear (to me) what your vibe is.

      Not familiar with left 4dead2, but will check it out.

      I may edit my original post… although I don’t think I can come up with a good description.
