Just who do you think you are?

Asked by Patty_Melt (17513points) January 12th, 2017

Numerous times I have heard those words hurled at someone in anger.
I am asking for the purpose of personal expression, and to discover what each of you think of yourselves.
Be graphic and detailed, or abstract.
Use your social standing or internal viewpoints.
You might list your goals and achievements, or describe the beliefs and emotions which drive you.
JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!

I may sound like an asshole but I’m actually kind of a nice guy.

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Emily Dickinson

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!

How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June-
To an admiring Bog!

I like people but I prefer to be left alone.

When someone ask me in such rude fashion my answer would be “None of your business!” Or “Do I owe you an explanation?”.

You see this watch?
That watch costs more than you car. I made $970,000 last year. How much’d you make? You see pal, that’s who I am, and you’re nothing. Nice guy? I don’t give a shit. Good father? Fuck you! Go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here – close! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can’t take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit? You don’t like it, leave. I can go out there tonight with the materials you’ve got and make myself $15,000. Tonight! In two hours! Can you? Can YOU? Go and do likewise. A-I-D-A. Get mad you son of a bitches, get mad. You want to know what it takes to sell real estate? It takes BRASS BALLS to sell real estate. Go and do likewise gents. Money’s out there. You pick it up, it’s yours. You don’t, I got no sympathy for you. You wanna go out on those sits tonight and close, CLOSE. It’s yours. If not you’re gonna be shining my shoes. And you know what you’ll be saying – a bunch of losers sittin’ around in a bar. ‘Oh yeah. I used to be a salesman. It’s a tough racket.’

Mariah's avatar

I think I am a person and that the details of my personhood make me no more or less important than any other person. I think people should give a shit about my personhood to the same extent that I care about theirs but it rarely happens.

@Mimishu1995 Fairy godmother?

Me? I’m the most honest person to walk the planet within the past 45 years. And the last.

I’m a creative witty, humorous, free spirited atheist surrounded by hardcore, religious conservatives. It’s not easy being me. Luckily I have a way of blending without being completely disingenuous.
I call myself the extroverted hermit as I do love socializing but it is rare to find compatible personalities to play with, why I like fluther so much. Almost everyone I know is so fucking SERIOUS all the time.

Not just dry personalities with no ability to banter and play a little, but so dry, they are like an urn of thousand year old tea leaves buried in the desert. haha
Luckily I do have my daughter that is a chip off the old mother block, hours can pass effortlessly as we happily skip from topic to topic like little monkeys swinging in the tree tops. lol

Okay now, see, THAT’S ^^^ what I’m talkin’!

Cruiser's avatar

I think I am very laid back and fiercely competitive at the same time. I think I am creative, loving, protective, lover of nature with a wicked sense of humor & lethal.

Coloma's avatar

@Cruiser That’s why you are in my cyber stable of only a rare few that actually get my humor and spice and can play back without missing a beat. :-)

Cruiser's avatar

It’s funny you say this @Coloma as I was real close to just copy/cut and paste your entire post! lol

Coloma's avatar

@Cruiser Birds of a feather…. ;-)

AshLeigh's avatar

As of now, I am:

The Queen of Flame. Lover of sweaters. An all the time skirt wearer. Special Ed. worker. Former sad person. Future happy person. Occasionally rude (Who am I kidding? Constantly rude) Writer. The best aunt in the world. The worlds okayest sister and daughter. In love. Grudge-holder. A cat person, but only when I see a cat, otherwise I don’t want one. I think I’m bad with kids, but they seem to love me for absolutely no reason, so we shall see. I’m a good friend, but a better acquaintance. A girl who’s seen the world, realizes it hates her, and hates it in return. An overly clingy girlfriend. Not good at being alone, yet worse at being around people. Short-tempered. I run on caffeine and casseroles. A pretty good cook, if I do say so myself. A jelly, no matter how long life keeps me away. A pretty heavy drinker, if I’m being honest, but what 21 year old isn’t? A praise singer. A child who loves her mother, even when I don’t like her. Childless, thank God.

But mostly, I am tired.I don’t mean I get tired—I am tired. Like all the time. Now, I’m off to take a nap.

Espiritus_Corvus's avatar

At this very moment I am a verb. I do. I go. I can’t be introspective right now.

Patty_Melt's avatar

Whoa. Neat!
I am having fun reading this stuff.
@Espiritus_Corvus, no pressure, say only what you can be comfortable with.
@AshLeigh, WOW! Okay.

Pandora's avatar

I don’t think. I know I am me. Me. Someone like no other. I am the apex of my life experiences, relationships, education, spirituality, love and thoughts at all times till I die. I am neither nothing or special. I never asked to be born and yet I will not ask to die (at least not while I am well). But I exist and I do my best to be and to enjoy the blessing of being just me.
That is who I am.
I am neither rich nor poor. Neither important nor trivial. I can sit alone quietly in the dark or in the light and appreciate the complexities of just being.
