What Do You Think Is Other People's Perception Of You?

At this stage i hardly know what to think of ME. Neighbours, friends, co-workers, wife all see a very different me. Would prob be a laugh to get them all in omen room.

I think everyone projects their thoughts on to me.

















wonders who got it

Oh boy where do I start?

Well I believe the world dislikes me or doesn't want to know me so its part of the reason why I don't have any real friends or any sort of a proper social life. I am a bit of a recluse yes and have chosen to be like this because I believe wants me to be this way. I fear if I tried to go out and make friends the world will attempt to disown me so feel as if its better not to socialise in the first place as thats what the world wants me to be I think as I say.

Its become a bit of problem for me however because I am 25 now, 26 next month and I have no girlfriend, never had a girlfriend and no friends and its pretty caused me to go into a mass spiral of depression being like this. I actually attempted suicide on the 25th of april earlier this year because I thought my life wasn't worth living any longer and I didn't want to grow old being this way. I feared being a failure, particularly socially. Die a virgin and a loner etc.

I have to admit I avoid all my cousins, aunts, uncles etc because I don't want them to see me as this recluse and think I'm weird, see me with no girlfriend etc. My lifestyle becomes embarresing so I avoid them and pretend I just simply don't exist in the long run sadly.

I walk around Belfast for example and see couples holding hands, young people messing about and me, and this sad sad sad loser at near 26, with no friends or anything, looking a loner for so long, and it really gets me down.

So its interesting you talk about public perception as its is everything for me. Part of my depression and dealing with it or defeating it even is to change this perception, of how I think the world thinks of me. Because otherwise, its becoming dangerous and even lethal, leading me to have the current lifestyle I have.

Since my suicide attempt, I have had counselling (for the first time), anti-depressants (being diagnosed with severe depression) and have to visit a mental health unit once a week. I have to go through a programme called Cognetive Therapy Behaviour, to attempt to systematically change the way I think and how the I think percieves me.

So I don't want to be a downer to this thread, you're all probably sick of hearing my story over and over :P but I just though this was relevant as public perception is everything to me right now sadly.

Its ok when some people don't like you, thats natural, but when nobody likes you and nobody gets on with you thats when it becomes a problem at least for me, and psycologically, it destroys me long term and it has become hard to live with, and its that I have to change.

I'm pretty much a wanker 99% of the time, but a funny likeable one.

The other 1% of the time I'm the most helpful generous person you could meet.

It buys me alot of goodwill for the 99%
It also keeps people doubting their opinion on me :-)

Peoples perception of me is that Im abit of an unapproachable moody nutcase and be honest their right

There is an idea of Immaculate Pasta; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there.

Generally I couldn't give a shíte what anyone thinks of me. Once my close friends, g/f and family find me bearable then I'm happy.

New people are cûnts until proven otherwise

Jesus you sound like me about ten years ago :eek: I've learned to become a bit more tolerable in that people are now just 'clitbags' (women) or 'wankbags' (men) until proven otherwise :pac:

"It's not who you are on the inside but what you do that defines you"

So based on that I'd say people see me as a lovely, polite chap!

If the only knew whats on the inside mwhahahahahahaha!!
