Ha! I did not specify graphics questions, did I? Hoisted on my own lack of specificity. Well played!
Hmmm. I tend to let people get to know me and make their own judgments. If I were to tell people about me it's that I'm much friendlier than I seem. I'm not made of the stuff to make friends easily. I don't approach strangers at parties (or on social media) but it's not that I dislike people; it's because I'm insecure. I would encourage them to ignore my silence and just talk to me. Like you have! *waves*
And what one thing would you immediately want a stranger to know about you?
And you tossed my question back at me! Hee. I like that. And I like your answer, too! You sound like a cool person. Points for using "specificity" in your comment. Yay, casually-uttered word that not everyone uses!
I don't at all think it's automatically a bad thing to be slow to make friends. I tend to find that that sort of person is intensely loyal once they have selected a friend. It's the fine art of not settling, and also bothering to care about who gets to change our lives. As they say, "Everybody's friend is nobody's friend!" ...which is a statement I don't 100% believe, but it does, nevertheless, hold a seed of truth. Our friends do influence us, after all.
And yes, I enjoy talking quite a bit!! *waves back* It's a great way to meet people! So hello there! :D
In terms of my answer, I tend to be a bit...odd. Very energetic. I giggle a lot. And I dance all the time, usually when no one else is. Sometimes, I get the feeling that I'm dismissed immediately as childish and incapable of deep thought because of this, though this is very much not true. I suppose it would be nice if I could get strangers to know I'm not just a giddy person, or at least that my energy has depth.
I think. And I think very hard. I'm almost constantly analyzing the world. I just choose not to make that visible, because life is short and despite the sadness out there, it's fun, too. I would just prefer to spread that side of reality, whenever possible. :)
