how do you view yourself?

This is what I really look like:

This is how I look in my head:

Get a shave and loose the drawing on your arm and you'd look as hot as your idol! -But then, that's just MHO!
 
I view myself as not being particularly attractive, or "hot" as you young'uns say, but looking to improve myself in whatever way I can. If I can be bothered to.
James Bond.

I have something of an overdeveloped ego... :lol:

I always viewed you as a more Mary Poppins type. ;)

It's that kind of disguise that got me my 00 status.
So the parrot umbrella, carpetbag, tape measure and medicine bottle really do come from Q Branch, then... ;)
 
First off, I get what you're saying. Well sort off. I realised pretty quickly when I gained weight that I was heavier. Pretty hard to avoid when it's the main topic of your bullies attacks. But in my dreams I stayed thing for YEARS. I think I was in HS (several years after I started becoming heavier) before my dreams finally changed to me looking like I actually did.

As for how I see myself, I'm fat! I probably think I am fatter then I am (I picture myself as Jabba from Episode I) but there is no denying that I am overweight. And because of this it was actually hard for me to realise that I had actually gained more weight over the stressful winter. What did bring it home was the fact that I couldn't get into my suit pants and that my sweaters where sorta getting shorter in the front since my gut was getting bigger.

This has led to start taking more charge of my physical condition once again. I'm doing okay with the excersise, but my main problem is the food. I'm an emotional eater (why I got big in the first place was since I was being bullied and of course my weight gain didn't help there) and right now I'm still kinda bummed after a potential relationship failing and I don't really like being this big whale when all these perfect people are walking around in very little clothing. But I'm getting there.

They are actually deadly weapons. You should see what else he has in his cute little carpet bag. And the umbrella... even The Penguin would be jealous at what all it can do. :devil:


I have always had a problem with this. I don't really have a self-image or at least a physical one. I have no idea what people see when they look at me. I have always felt like I could weight a little less and maybe stop dressing so sloppy. But all and all, I really don't have a mental image of myself physically. It just isn't there. I think it's because I just don't care. :rommie: I swear it. That isn't bullshit. Scout's honor.

However, I am more concerned with how my personality is viewed by other people. I am almost obsessed by it actually. Am I funny? Am I interesting? Do I tell a good story? Am I someone you want at your party? Do I come across as intelligent? Do I scare people? Am I charming? I have a set idea of what my personality is but I would love to know what other people think of me in that way.
 
^^ Funny, interesting, smart, creative, likable. :bolian:

Me, I see myself as funny looking but oddly charming, like a beloved character actor. :rommie:

And, of course, as a creative genius. :cool:
 
AstroSmurf, you come across as very friendly, emotionally intelligent, talented, and a bit camp. :p Hope that answers your question. :D
 
A bit camp? I guess I need to try harder online because I am about as campy as you can get in the real world. :rommie: Thanks! You made my day.

But in all honesty, the only one here who can truthfully answer the question about me is SPOCKED. He is the only poster that has actually met me for real. (And speaking of SPOCKED he is very cute in real life. I have no doubt where his kids got their looks from! He will deny it though.)

And thanks to RJ too. But what he doesn't realize is that every time I see a picture of him I get the oddest sensation that I know him from somewhere. I find that very comforting... which makes me want to hug him and then rifle through his book collection when he isn't looking.
 
I see myself as a lot better looking and charming than I probably actually am. My sense of humor is also a bit off so I'm probably not as funny either. I'm very aware of the extra weight on me though, and tend to focus on it too much, so I'm probably not quite as fat as I imagine.
 
Get a shave and loose the drawing on your arm and you'd look as hot as your idol! -But then, that's just MHO!
Are you complimenting me? Or are you insulting Vin Diesel?

Well you can take comfort from the fact that when people think of your average Trekkie they look nothing like you.
Well, there's the glasses and the fat, but other than that, no.

There's evidence to my nerdienss in that picture though. On the bookshelf to the left there's a Mega Blocks Enterprise D and two light sabers.

Now that I think about it, I don't see myself as Riddick so much as I see myself as:

Whichever works for you!




Really: I don't find those 'artificially made' guys very hot; you, on the on the other hand, look quite real and therefore more "hot" to me. whomever that other guy with the German motor name actually is.
 
If we're speaking strictly physically, as in the original post, my view of myself is changeable. Some days I feel great about my appearance -- really beautiful. Other days I am literally disgusted by my own reflection, and a little voice in the back of my head whispers nastily, "You're a disgusting cow. A fat, ugly, disgusting cow." Those days suck. I'm one of those people who will never be satisfied with her appearance, sadly. Even when I think I look really good, I don't feel sexy.
 
Sarcasm: Most of the time I feel ok, but after looking in the mirror I go "Oh YEAH!" :D Then I go why'd I think that I was ugly? Because yeah, other than some remnants of my fat days I look freaking awesome.

Seriously, I'm ok.
 
Like the OP, I generally see myself as normal, a little big (strong), and then I'm startled when I see pictures and the person in them is just not the me I know.
 
I could list all of my virtures, but sadly, none of you will live that long, suffice it to say that I am the best thing there is.
 
This is how I look:

This is how other people see me:

But I'm actually much more attractive, seeing as I have blue eyes.

In the last 2 years, my figure has degraded somewhat; I actually put on 5 kilograms; I now have a fat beer belly. I do still eat all the same junkfood, so it's probably my metabolism that changed. I really need to do something about that; but it's not something I ignore. It is something I'm slightly ashamed of; so whenever outside or with friends I do try to hold my breath. :D
