Where do you fit in this world?
I know no one (or not a lot of people) likes stereotypes. But if you had to choose, where do think you fall under? How would you describe or generalize yourself the most? If not a perfect fit, explain what’s that quirk that sets you apart as well.

LOL…I fit in right where I was meant to be…
Probably a geek.
Geeks
“A person who has chosen concentration rather than conformity; one who pursues skill (especially technical skill) and imagination, not mainstream social acceptance. Geeks usually have a strong case of neophilia. Most geeks are adept with computers and treat hacker as a term of respect, but not all are hackers themselves – and some who are in fact hackers normally call themselves geeks anyway, because they (quite properly) regard `hacker’ as a label that should be bestowed by others rather than self-assumed.”
Only others can say where you truly fit , cause how you see yourself is different to how others see you . I don’t care where i fit into , never have never will….....as long as its my clothes i fit into
This world fits around me. Humans have always modified their environment to suit themselves, and I am no different.
However because you want stereotypes, I guess I am a quiet guy until you touch on an issue I think I can contribute to – then I am anything but quiet. I often support people who need it, because I like to help. If I think something is unimportant, then I can come across as lazy because I truly do not care. I am happy to sit back and let others lead when they feel the need, but I can also lead if required. I know I can’t properly answer your question, but I can fill most roles depending on the situation.
I’m still looking for the perfect spot. So far though Australia is a much better place for me to be than East Coast USA!

I fit in right about here.
I don’t always fit. Sometimes it feels like I’m a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. Despite that, I’m a happy-go-lucky type of person most of the time and life’s been pretty good to me so far so I’m satisfied with that. I guess what sets me apart is that I can be unique, eccentric, and normal and that kind of variety keeps things interesting.
I don’t fit any stereotypes. That’s probably because my moods, opinions, and tastes are ever-changing.

is where I am physically, but my ideal place does not exist, or is impossible to get to from here. I simply try to fit in as well as I can, by being the best ‘me’ I can be, but saving my little quirks, odd behaviors, and unpopular opinions for those that understand me best.
I’m not sure what planet I am originally from, but I sure wish they’d come back to pick me up, it’s lonely here. =)
I’m the obnoxious class clown that everyone likes when he arrives at the party initially but who eventually wears too thin.
You know where I fit? Union Square, NYC, on the steps, between the crazy guy who slices 3 oranges at once in the air, that other dude who thinks he’s Jesus, the 3 skateboarding kids breaking their ankles, that other artist making glass dildoes, and a bunch of Falun Dafa protesters next to the ASPCA people giving out kittens..yep, that’s my place – amidst the chaos, amidst the music, amidst the smoke, on my back with my book with my ideas – I, too, am an idea man, @mattbrowne
I fit right where I’m at! I differ because I don’t want to fit right in!

As I wrote elsewhere, I think the term “internet geek” sums me up pretty well. Albeit an internet geek who is somewhat less reluctant than average to go outside occasionally.
I feel that if anyone is, people on the internet are my kind of people. Particularly people on /b/ and the surrounding regions. Cynical and socially inept intellectuals, lost together in a world they can’t seem to fit into properly, resorting instead to building a culture of their own.
I feel so at home among them.
It’s still not a perfect fit, though, my quirk being that I’m less bitter and less prone to profanity. And somewhat less reluctant to go outside occasionally.
I honestly don’t know. There’s way too many aspects of me to just fit in one category.
I cant say I have ever fit anywhere but then I think its probably a state of mind not a place style or circumstance
The world is my oyster. How I fit in is all dependent as to how I see it.
I don’t know if there is one particular stereotype that describes where I fit. Intellectual and renaissance man probably are the closest. I’d rather be “top dog” or “Lothario” if I had my druthers.
@Simone_De_Beauvoir – Now that you mention it, that would probably be a good place for me too, I could be the dog woman, hehehehe!
Meet you there! I’ll be wearing the camo boardies and a army green shirt with a lino print of a croc on it.
I don’t fit in this world at all. I feel like I’ve been transported from my own world, and stuck somewhere I don’t belong. The only thing that makes it the least bit liveable is that I have a wonderful family to share it with.
I find myself entranced with a variety of historical periods: 16th century England, 1st century Rome, 10th century BC Middle East… I want to live in all those time periods. But, I love sci-fi and future looking works as well; I’d gladly live in the worlds of Minority Report, A. I., Demolition Man, etc.
Looking backward and forward, I feel I belong in any time period but this one. However, I might interpret this to mean that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be: a place where I can look in both directions and appreciate them both.
@lloydbird thank you for your concern. I have no friends outside of family and online contacts
It’s the online ones (including me) that I’m on about.
@lloydbird Yes, I have many online contacts, but they just come and go, and are essentially anonymous.
@YARNLADY That’s a shame, Yarn. But by now you must have realized how special a person you are. The very very special people on Earth never really feel like they fit in, and often feel like only close family makes things livable.
@YARNLADY And what’s wrong with “essentially anonymous” friends? Hmmm?
@lloydbird Where did you get the ideas there was something “wrong”? An anonymous internet contact could be exactly the opposite of what they claim to be, and no one would be the wiser. To me that is not the definition of a friend.
To me, a “friend” is a person you know well enough to know their address, phone number, who their parents are, where they were born, and all the other details of everyday life, and you can visit or call them anytime you want without them getting mad, and visa versa.
@rooeytoo absolutely, I’ll be the one with all the tattoos and babies
If I had to stereotype myself… I would say I’m the really weird, quiet, spiritual and artsy type – but all in personality and not in looks.
Alas, I too, do not fit any stereotypes. Besides weird. Everyone always tells me I’m weird which I, of course, already know. :)
It doesn;t matter if I fit in,as long as I have friend and family by my side =]
I think I might fit in as a skater or maybe someone like chill….:D
People also tell me I’m wierd and I take that as a compliment ohh and I also get called a hippo: hobo/hippie and I also get happy when I hear that since that’s me :P
@YARNLADY images of smallville came into mind.
@YARNLADY That would be a ‘close personal friend’ that you are talking about. I’m talking about a ‘far distant friend’.
I went to inspect my sunflowers this evening, when I got in from work. They were ok. The slugs were all on the broccoli bits that I had put around their bases.Hmmmm!
I have often have dreams about not being able to fit through tight spaces…like doors to toilets..always seem to be a bit like Alice in Wonderland doors…scary!! So…I don’t fit there at least…
A conformist who occasionally tries not to be a conformist (similar to many other conformists).
The stereotype i’ve had attached to me most frequently is likely the “mellow stoner guy” despite my not being a stoner. Whether i’m mellow or a guy however remains debatable.
