Is anyone else like this?

I'm a serious person myself, but I'm too quiet to say anything Unless it really upsets me. I am well able to say my part online but in real life its like dying in a curled up ball.

Taking yourself and other people seriously is a very important and likable thing about your personality, you listen to other people and don't slide it under the rug like its a joke. I am also like this but I take others more serious than myself, thinking about situations and your feelings is also a very important aspect, keeping in check with yourself is good, hiding your seriousness though at times will make others not take you seriously because they see you as a joker, of course being funny and all is great fun but masking seriousness with it is not. I'm seen as a comedian in my own way or "The shy weirdo". Nobody takes my idea's seriously either until I do actually stand up and say something out loud and making sure everyone can hear it, until someone hears it wrong and laughs or my lisp gets in the way.

Beings friendly and outgoing to strangers is good and wanting to see others smile and be happy is very kind, but sometimes you have to be selfish and just do what you want. Don't bottle everything in because if you do people will continue walking all over you until you explode.

Wanting to punch a wall or cry is not because you have a temper. Its because you're being mildly bullied by everyone but its not seen because it's not exactly bulling. You're being walked on but you can't see it very well and if you say something the other person might get upset and judging by your personality, you don't like upsetting others.

Being a calm person is just as bad as being very active and loud. Calmer people may or may not have more patience but because calmer people are usually quieter, we don't say anything. Like this post. If you were a calm person I don't think you'd even consider doing this post. So if we were being walked on we usually don't say a word.

They aren't unusual feelings. Being annoyed at people walking on you because you want to make them happy can be the most annoying thing ever because they take advantage of you. And because you seem like a very nice person. You don't want to upset them.


Being calmer and quieter might or might not be a little better for reading books, watching movies, art or other hobbies that require patience. But socially it can and probably would be hell.

Hmm, not sure if I fall into this category.
I have a difficult personality that no one has really seen here on PmC (and its really for the best). My emotions flare up pretty easily and its made keeping friends hard. I've been used so much in real life, that its becoming harder to trust people. I pretty much cling to the friends I have now, and I'm pretty lucky to have them
Much like how Ativist explained it, I'm the "I'll beat the living crap out of you if you touch the people I love" kind of person. I'm not proud of how angry I can become, nor will I ever be. I try pretty hard to mask out. It's the one thing I feel like I hate about myself.
//so much rant, sorry.

For a good while, I was pretty serious too, and I think I still might be. I've been trying to play more for the last two years, but sometimes I still get in my "go away or I'll bite you" mood swings. x_x Not that I actually mean it when I say it. I try not to show that in front of, for instance, my friends, but I'm not very good at hiding things... lol
I also tend to sometimes get angry pretty easily, and/or overreact at the drop of a hat.
If I'm in that kind of a mood, then you're always going to know.
(However, if I'm at school and my brothers are not there, then I'm usually pretty quiet.)

But I can understand what you're saying... If I were in that kind of a situation, then I'd feel the same way. I am also not a very patient person, and I HATE having to wait for something! You're not alone on that part.

So no, those feelings are not unusual. Or if they are, then we're both aliens! LOL


I always look forward to whenever you post a thread, because you're the one person here who I feel like I can actually relate to. You are a very talented writer, and I'd love to see more!
