hello =) I would like to know how yous picture yourself inside. It is part of a little private evaluation I'm making, for my own interest. I won't laugh if you'd promise me you don't laugh about me =) I would describe it as such: happy - pink fluffy bouncy ball sad - something like a flat football, in deep dark blue depressed - a little scorched ball of paper, black, crumpled and crumbling away slowly angry - a reddish rubber ball bouncing hard off some imaginary walls (usually depicting my language deficits) sleepy, but happy - baby blue fuzzy thing

It is hard to describe myself. Usually when I received insights to my personality etc. I was in an acting class and other people would make their observations about me. At times I am either depressed or happy. - perhaps a stress ball that can be squeezed or at rest Stubborn- a paper weight that won't move Intelligent- a pencil Humorous- a far side calendar Odd- a blueberry bagel and spicy turkey sandwich (yes, it is good!)

Very Intriguing and challenging question? I'm a generally happy person with gloomy overtones with a positive yet fatalistic viewpoint. Often taken serious when I am totally not (I've just gotten used to the strange looks as people don't tend to get used to me) Always competitve but never content. Happy - a clown on an overcast day humor - the high desert full of knives Sad - a deep dark well positive - a brand new car fatalistic - I know it will wear out intellect - a tack different - a peanut butter, margarine and dill pickle on whole wheat sandwich. Yes that is good also and no I am not the first man in history to get pregnent.

Raven, If you add Applebutter to that, you would have a Great Sandwich. The only way I think I could describe myself is from some of my experiences. Happy - Watch a young squirrel seeing it's first snow. Humor - Again it would be watch a young squirrel seeing it's first snow. Sad - Seeing someone who I love hurting Positive - Being able to put a smile on someone I don't even know's face. Negative - Dealing with Insurance Companies. Different - Living my Life the way I believe it is to be and not worry what others think. Sorry Aon Daonna this is probably not what you wanted here but this is what I saw. I just guess this is like my last answer "Different"

I woke up this morning thinking about this thread and thought of something that I should have added Dichotomy - always happy where I am at doing what I'm doing, but never satisfied staying their.

Dang it I hit the reply and forgot the most important part. Dichotomy - see peanut butter sandwich

Wow, this is going to be hard. I can say that I feel like a chameleon right now. I have been adapting from one situation to another, yet I never really feel like I am being myself.

Posted by: Aon_Daonna 13-Nov-2003, 01:01 PM

hmm I think it's good reactions, I mean everybody feels different and has different feelings towards feelings, etc. (*frowns* that sounds complicated). I like the stubborn paperweight.. I think in my case it would be a goat trying to move a huge concrete block *grins*

Posted by: barddas 13-Nov-2003, 02:04 PM

HHmmmmm Happy- warm sun on an autumn day Sad- a child crying while looking through a window anger- a trunk breaking at the seams, ready to explode depressed- old wilted flowers Intelligent- old books Odd/humorous asking to speak to Mr smith at the hotel of a smith family reunion! That's all I can think of right now....

Posted by: RavenWing 13-Nov-2003, 02:26 PM

happy - a woodland scene covered with a blanket of fresh snow sad - curled up in a deep trench while dirt is being shoveled over me depressed - standing on the edge of a cliff with my toes hanging off of it angry - a knot twising in on itself over and over strange - a jack-in-the-box At peace - lying in a canoe on a still pond

The word Metacognitive makes MY head hurt.

I won't laugh if you'd promise me you don't laugh about me =) I promise! Complicated is how I would see m'self. To picture it, I guess I could describe it as interwoven threads, that represent past experience and personality, going this way and that. Some have gotten blocked, knotted and re-routed over time....some never to pass that way again. Others must be fixed, a way must be found so that they may flow clearly again. I hope that makes some sense. happy - my grandmother's smile sad - the eyes of a person in pain, and the inability to help them anger - a bomb dropping mercilessly through the sky intelligence - ancient manuscripts peace - sitting at the top of a tall hill/mount, and seeing for miles

Happy- a room full of clouds Sad- hurricane season in Florida Anger- earthquake intellectual- my grandparents Strange- butterflies everywhere At Peace- A snow topped mountain

I'm not sure how to answer this one...I think I'm simple but others tell me I'm complex... what the heck to they know right? I'll have to think about this one......back to ya later. Annabelle

The smiley face is there because I'm kidding. Hence, the smiley face. Smiley face = positve. When it equals negative, I will let everyone know. It was also a joke. Since metacognitive means think about your thinking -- then your brain woud hurt because it is doing things consciously what are usually done unconsciously. So, in irony, it's supposed to be funny.

The question was "How do you feel about yourself?" This could have varying answers...I'm still not sure how to answer this one...so I won't. A

With me, what you see is what you get. I'm an open individual but I change from day to day as part of the growing process. Although I may disagree with you, I do respect your opinion. If I feel strongly enough about the subject however, I will argue my point. Happiness, a brook running through a mountain meadow. Sadness, a cloudy, cold, windy winter day. Anger, a hail storm beating down on the top of a car. Humor, Monty Python

You really want an answer? How do I feel about myself? Most all of the time I am the most carefree non-committed, happy go lucky girl you have ever known. I joke around and I'm rarely serious. Life's too short and people no adays take themselves to serious...makes them feel better about themselves and more important I guess. I like everyone...I really don't think I have a temper unless provoked. The first couple of times i'm attacked I don't respond, but when I've had enough I come out kicking. Usually I'm pretty open to most things...I respond positively to open challenges in work and personal life. I usually am a peace keeper but will only stomach rude obnoxious people only so much...I figure they put their pants on the same way as everyone else...do I get paid to put up with ugliness, no! I always defend the under dog! My basic nature! I can't stand to see someone else taken advantage of. I don't take friendship lightly...friendships get 100%...enemies, we deal with when we have to... annabelle

How do I feel about myself? That is indeed a rough question to pose. My self-concept changes. I am a rather insecure person who needs validation from my mate. Quite often I simply see myself as an extension of my children, my grandchildren, my spouse, my dad, and my students (wow, look at all the "my"s). I don't often see a "me" or "I" anywhere. Friendship is important. Friends are part of the family. The older I get, the more important family is and less I worry about "me."

Oh, dear brother. I will have your wife punish you for that one. I know.....you can hardly wait

Posted by: JaneyMae 20-Dec-2003, 11:05 AM

I wonder why that is????? I sent her a telepathic message to do that very thing........my powers are slipping

O'siyo, How do I feel about myself? Well, Freud always claimed that the worst mistake he ever made was to psycho-analyze himself but hey, what the heck ~Determined, devoted & dedicated~ ~Happy for the most part but, hard to satisfy for fear of failing at something I usually have no control over~ ~Rarely 'sad' unless again, it's something I have no control over such as others ignorance, animal abuse & the death penalty~ ~Being an insomniac bothers me very little and helps fuel my insecurities and the need to change the world so that no one is 'left-out'~ Overall, other than having your favourite sweatshirt on, loving on an animal while listening to your favourite song, if you need a friend, don't hesitate to call on me May you be at peace with all that Mother Earth has to offer~ ~~Sty-U
