also @slimgirljo15 is super sweet because she makes sure to type upside down so we can understand her
Sun, you will always be the sweet, beautiful, kind and gentle girl ( I know you're a full grown woman ) I met years ago here but I get the fragility and delicateness of youth from you, sensitive and artistic with the soul of a poet. Having said that I've seen the occasional spark of anger though rare so I know you aren't all delicate lol.
I guess I see you as the young girl chasing butterflies in the garden.. 🙂🦋2 -

I see you as a real tell it like it is firecracker.
I like that you are pretty straight forward. 🙂 You just say what you're thinking..no BS
And you're super cute 😉

I'm pretty sure my profile and stuff are entirely open. How do you all perceive me?0

You're very new and really only 35 posts it's hard to get a feel yet.. From the couple I read I'd say friendly, committed to doing well here and you're a great friend to have because you check up on your friends 🙂3 -
I've been trying to put words to my perceptions of everyone, but am coming up with colours more than anything
For example, @caco_ethes is like candy floss with pink, blue and specks of orange. @slimgirljo15 is mostly yellow with red and purple streaks5 -

You have just made being a sweet, drunk Texan a life goal3 -
@Motorsheen At first I found it hard to understand your humour, but as time went on I’ve come to realize that under all of that quirkinesses you have a big heart. I find you to be quite reserved and genuine. The respect and honour you have for your family is appalling at times. Especially in today’s society where people constantly find fault in those they love.2

@LiftingSpirits At first I questioned whether you even liked me to be honest. Although, once I got to know you and started to comprehend your humour, it’s become smooth sailing. I find you to be extremely genuine and bluntly honest. A trait that I personally value in today’s society. In so many unknown ways you have helped me grow to become a better person. Sometimes your comments have hit me where it hurts and it’s helped spark awareness in areas I didn’t even acknowledge that where within myself. I appreciate that growth and value your friendship.1

How do we perceive you?
Cakey...you know I'm quite literal and often take things for spin on what's actually being asked (so I feel) I'm sorry if I'm not doing your thread right
My perception, of your all perceptions of me:
Soo, lets start with I feel like I interpret words (and sentences) wrong a lot...or just in a different but legit literal context (possibly only to me and not the common interpretation?)
...like I don't quite get the question or gist or something...but go with my own interpretation. I probably seem like I'm running on a tangent ...and I am...my mind just extrapolates as I'm thinking (spewing random thoughts before I "think" of what I'm saying before 'speaking' it), my chatter is somewhat convoluted.
I feel perceived by (most of) you all, in my mind anyhow (btw, took me 3 times to spell perceived right!!) as:
a vapid, oversharing, random thought spewing, tangent going-on-er, pitiful speller/grammerist, stress case, occasional thread-hogger...with personal problems and random ideas and thoughts I can't shut up about.
...that about sums it up!
oh, and I'm a hoser, eh!6 -

Ooo, I like that..
Nadine I think you are a super mum doing the very best she can. Wise, dependable and the voice of reason. Been through a lot and come out of it stronger.2 -
@Vikka_V I think we all interpret questions based on our own perspective and perceptions of life. I also think most of us have had moments in which we regret things we’ve said.
I think you are a deep thinker and extremely self reflective. A valued trait in such a self absorbed society. You are sweet natured and very kind to others, but I find you can tend to be too hard on yourself. ❤️2 -

I'm pretty sure you are deliciously snarky. And you should cross the line more often because I perceive you as one who holds back. So let it go, dahling.0 -

I think you are the type of person who would have no problem lending your neighbor the lawn mower. However, you might critique their lawn mowing skills as you pull up into your driveway.3 -

Despite your omnipresent dad jokes and relentless writing of bad checks, you tend to surprise me from time to time. Generally i think people who joke all the time are hard to get to know, maybe because that’s kinda how i am. But over the past couple years I’ve grown to consider you a very good friend. You’ve opened up in the odd circumstance here and there and it’s enjoyable every time.
He sent you the checks? He never even bothered for me. I think @Motorsheen is intelligent, like, probably has contemplated a few successful money laundering schemes but decided against it because he wouldn't look good in jail orange. However, since he refused my friend request about 27 accounts ago, I think he must not know about delicate flowers and butterflies. I imagine him to be the kind of guy who gives people a cactus for a gift so he can mutter "sit on it" whenever they irritate him. 4 -

No harm no foul. I think it is meant to be playful.....although will anyone agree with your assessment of yourself?

@tams_89 Three words come to mind, sweet, kind and generous. A person that is always conscientious on how people perceive things. One that especially hates cruelty. To top it off she’s pretty to look at.1

Afternoon y'all - well it is for me over here. I've been, ahem, absent for a bit. Moved to a different country, got my girls set up back home, new job, new workout routine - had a few things going on. So day one, version 2.0, and as I'm trying to get back into the swing of things I stumbled upon this little thread.
Y'all are hilarious. Just sayin'.
It has been rumored that I'm around 8ft tall and until a few years ago, weighing in at damn near a quarter ton, I had a pretty decent idea how I was perceived. I do what I can to counteract that thought - the one that says I might trip and fall on you. And I promise - I only dance in wide-open but very dark places. Anyways, I'm not the most vocal of folks around here so I'm sure my post count is pretty anemic compared to most on this thread but I just had to stop by and say thanks for making my recent return a very entertaining one.6 -
Have I even been around long enough to make an impression? It can be hard to join into a forum that has members who have built up a community over the years, but this is a fun one for sure and I've never been made to feel unwelcome.5

Fun, friendly, family. I’d like to grill out and have a summer drink with you.1 -

I am "hard" on myself I think partly because I've had no guidance, my parents (divorced when I was 5) had much bigger "problems" than taking care of me and my brother...I try to be "hard' on myself, because I need the discipline I never had as a child...but I'm not doing a good job at it. Its hard to 'parent' yourself.
It seems stupid to say, but I need some guidance, some one to say "do this" (like go to bed now) simple, but for me thats huge.... I have no rational limits compared to others I don't think.
As a child I had no limits and parents with substance abuse problems. I know your not allowed to talk about drugs and stuff here (I got reprimanded for doing so) but its a thing...and as a kid with parents who had other "problems" besides my brother and I, I feel like I've had to "raise myself"...so it's taken a lot longer and I feel very immature still.6 -

I don’t want the criticism. I just want a boss who knows me and wants the best for me and doesn’t mind when I occasionally tell them to go *kitten* themselves. 😄3
