I recently meet someone and was going to ask them to describe themselves in a paragraph. I realized I wasn’t able to do it myself. I also wasn’t sure how they would react. I thought I would ask here first and see how you folks react.

I’ll define paragraph as three to four sentences.

    Sometimes an anxious midnight voidling, others a carefree water nymph, mostly a Left 4 Dead 2 modder (Rochelle best character).

    Curious to read what your paragraph is as well.

      Not sure I follow. Would you be willing to expand on this?

      I also apologize. I met someone IRL and this question came to mind. I have not asked for / seen any social media profiles.

      However you are correct, they could have something posted that “sums them up”. I’m just not aware. We just recently met.

      Appreciate the response!!

      Fair… another reason I was asking the collective. Was curious how many may say it was unpossible to do in a few sentences.

      (It’s the Simpsons, don’t harass me for spelling 😁)

    I’d just copy/paste the lyrics from “what’s my age again?” By Blink 182.

    Pretty much sums it up.

      As stated fair point. Again, coming to the collective to gather data helps us be better people. Didn’t actually ask, and feedback suggests don’t do it… as such I won’t.

      Thanks for responding, appreciated!!

    Daydreamer that dreamt themself out of a functional life. Not just a late bloomer but still a sprout. A hopeful idealistic child in the body of a jaded misanthropic adult. I dance to a tune playing in my earphones where only I can hear it most of the time, unless someone is close enough.

      Your third sentence sounds like something I would say. Thank you so much for sharing.

      I hope others get a chance to hear your tune and maybe help you not be such a misanthrope. But, continue being a daydreamer

      Hmmm, fair… it could come across as such. Hence not actually asking it. Your comment would make me lean toward not asking at all.

      Appreciate the perspective.

    I’m a jack of all trades master of none and Maker. I’m not afraid of being alone both physically and metaphorically. I care about other people far more than most realize, but on my terms like how I often see potential beyond what others see in themselves. My humor, curiosity, abstractions, and occasional cynicism are often misunderstood but have nuance in most cases.

      Your response is great and appreciated. I think when this question originally came to me, I was thinking of this type of answer.

      I think others have provided a good point for the question itself and I probably won’t ask it. You taking the time to respond was helpful!!

    I am curious and like to think I’m humorous. I have a lot of issues, but I do my best to only allow my issues to effect those that have asked for it(in a literal sense, like my friends asking me how im doing when im dealing with issues). As a result of my curiosity I have attained a very wide set of experiances, knowledge, and skills. My remaining goals are family oriented, in the sense that I’d like to begin the process of settling down and working on team based goals.

    Edit: i guess this info may be cheating, but it worth noting that the order of my sentencing is as important as the content itself.

      Nah, you’re good. Your answer is your answer. I do like the clarifying point about the order of the sentences.

      I agree (or maybe it’s something I do) that a response to a question like this has defined beginning, middle, end.

      Who I was, who I am, who I want to be.

      I think you’re going to make one heck of a team with someone!!

      Thank you so much for responding!! 🙂
