Aloof and reserved. And that is how I like it.

1. Weird
2. Quiet - quiet in a weird way :? -
3. Intelligent- they often think i am way more intelligent than i really am -
4. serious - when i feel comfortable and make a joke they will act if i shouldn't be joking -
5. Mysterious - i don't think that i am mysterious -
6. innocent - that makes me feel angry because they treat me as a child and i do look younger than i am -
my friend thinks that i am in fact evil and people don't see my true nature ( they are right in some way :twisted: )
7. honest or frank - but i don't say thing that hurt people -
8. introvert
9.Intimidating and Unapproachable - some people in uni will come and talk to me and when they walk away i hear one saying " see ? she didn't bite you " -
apparently it takes courage to come and talk to me, even my best friend asked some other classmates who know me if it was okay if she talked to me, turned out i was a nice person 8)
10. sad or angry - i look sad or angry even when i feel relaxed and happy and it ruin my mood when someone point that out -

i think that is it :)

actually i used not to know how people viewed me but i asked some friends recently and that is what they told me

I can very very rarely to almost never tell what people think of me or how they see me.

I suspect weird. I suspect shy.

Some seem nervous around me though. I have had people tell me that they're uncomfortable not being able to read my emotions. I get that a lot actually, that they have trouble knowing what I'm feeling. How do you explain well a lot of times I don't really think I am feeling anything very strongly, or, well when I am feeling something why is it your business/its invasive that you want to know whats going on inside me all the time.

I think I probably come off as polite. I'm afraid of being seen as rude because I can accidentally be rude, so I try to recite the script, how are you, thanks, please, etc.

I still walk away wondering how I came off and never feeling certain.

Approachable, because I always get approached by people whenever I'm doing errands or out and about, minding my own business.

I thought I was presenting myself pretty well to a new online friend. I'd been aiming for friendly, fun, and confident. When he told me without being prompted or asked that I seem like a person who would do anything for others, I knew I'd failed.

Due to my upbringing by a narcissistic and emotionally unavailable parents, my "people-pleasing" behaviors and personality are well-cemented. Someone else called me "eager". A third person claimed I was "overdramatic". When I think I've made headway on not trying to please in exchange for love or friendship, and they remind me I haven't yet done it, I end up feeling terrible and want to terminate the friendship.

In the past, scary, but less so these days I think. I've also been told I'm 'quietly eccentric'.

People tend to see me in two ways. Either I'm despised or I'm just ignored. The specifics don't really matter.

It depends who you ask. People (especially men) often comment on my resting face and ask me why I'm not smiling, I usually get told that my resting face is angry or sad, even when I feel happy, so to be told "you look angry/sad" just makes me anxious and not happy. The answer from people who don't know me is usually weird, quiet, awkward, or shy. I would think they also would say anti-social or rude, but my loved ones view me positively so who cares about anyone else's opinions really? :D

One of the best ways to find out what kind of person you are if you're doubting yourself is to ask your Mum, or any other parent or legal guardian that's been in your life since birth and childhood.

Siblings can only offer a more limited perspective.

It's your parents, the one that raised you, discovered all your likes, dislikes, quirks, etc. for the past 18 years that can offer one of, if not the most insightful and accurate perspective of you coming from another person.

Be careful, they may be afraid to tell you the truth, the full truth, or any truth.
None of my family told me, my flaws. I even had another serious disease and they never informed me about, putting me in great danger.

As a rather odd person (and all other versions of 'odd', especially weird), but also original, creative and (many times I've heard this) a really strong woman. People say I'm quiet, but stubborn, strong-willed and that I always choose my own way even if everyone's going the other way.
I've been called well-organized recently, yesss! I've been working on it a long time.
What else... childish, naive, out of touch with reality, random...
Intelligent and full of ideas.
Many bad words from previous boyfriends, I'd rather forget that.
