What Do You Think?

I was told recently by someone that they'd done research on me. Now I won't lie, at first that kind of freaked me out. Then I started thinking. Who doesn't talk to their friends about other people? I know I do. And that doesn't mean I'm bitching, I'm far too nice to bitch. Sure I have opinions but again, who doesn't.

So firstly, the reason I was freaked out a little is because nobody has ever said that they've done research on me before. I wasn't quite sure how to take it. I wasn't worried or anything, just a bit befuddled. It didn't take me long to determine whom the questions had been directed too. In fact I knew literally straight away, I'm clever like that. I then started thinking about what that person might say and that intrigued me.

The questions asked, if there were more than one aren't so important. In my head I asked myself one; what do you think of yourself? Now a normal person more than likely would give a short and simple answer, me on the other hand I think too much.

Here is what I think of myself;

I think that all round I'm a nice person. I tend to put other people before myself and I'm fairly generous. I have trouble saying no to people and find it almost impossible with others. I would say that I'm loyal and honest and if asked I'll do what I can to help with anything. I'm easy to get on with, but I can be quite shy if Idon't know someone very well and even then it takes time for me to be truly comfortable with someone. I'm dedicated in almost anything I do and I'm a gentleman.

When I get angry, I can be overbearing and condescending. I am far too addicted to my job. Although I put other people first, I have been known to be incredibly selfish and self centred. I don't do well with being told what to do and don't like it at all when people don't listen. I can be arrogant and cocky and egotistical. When I'm moody, I'm just a foul person. I'm often too cheeky and sometimes don't know when to shut up. I have a habit of getting on my high horse about things and not coming off it because I'm as stubborn as a rock. Hiccups annoy me no end whether it's me who has them or someone else.

In summary, that will do. My personal evaluation is something I do on a daily basis. I'm always thinking "I should/shouldn't have said this/that" etc, but now to the point.

Although the title of this post is suggesting so, I'm not actually asking you directly what you think, feel free to tell me if you wish though. My point is, the person who was asked what they think of me happens to be one of the nicest and happiest people I've ever met and without being told I pretty much knew what was said. What if it'd been someone else?

I don't know what everyone thinks of me. Most people don't have two pence worth of a pound of a clue who I am, but if it had been someone that doesn't like me or has a grudge against me, what was said could have been very different. I'm quite self aware and know that all of the above and infinitely more is true of myself, but what someone else would say... I think that is very, very interesting.
