Feeling a little more aware of things.....-Agent Q-

Well...I guess I've always thought that I'm a rather nice person, I'll talk to anyone who wants to talk, I won't laugh AT them, but I like laughing with people and having fun, and I don't make fun of other people's ideas, and in fact I don't often give my opinion on things because I don't think I really have one in most situations because I don't usually have much information on the subject to defend my position and I don't like stirring things up and causing problems between people.

Just the other day though, well, a maybe at the end of last week, I've been starting to hang out with certain people in certain classes, and I've realized, not necessarily by their words, but mainly by their actions, that....maybe I'm not as nice as I think I am?

Well, let me put it this way, I am completely sarcastic. I know it's bad, but for some reason I've always assumed that people would only take it light-heartedly, especially coming from me since I would never mean to hurt anybody. Of course, I know can realize how stupid that idea was and that people might take me seriously like that especially if they don't know me very well.

I've also become aware that some people think I'm stuck up??? I've never ever thought that anyone would ever think of me that way, because I know that I'm definitely not. Maybe it's because I have a hard time opening up to people at first, or maybe it's because one day I'll talk to a person, but the next day, I'll be really shy and will have a hard time even smiling or saying hi to the person, unless they come up to me first.

My question is, what do people you think very highly of (and aren't stuck up, or are the nicest people you know, etc.) do that makes them this way? What can I do to stop being sarcastic? And how can I stop being so stuck-up-like? I know know my friends don't think I'm stuck up, and I have a lot of friends, and if people get to know me better, they know i'm not a bad person or anything like that, but I need some help with the first imprerssions on people I guess.

My sister says, when a person is cool and they don't know it, that is a good quality. I tend to agree, but that applies to alot of people. Loads of people have hidden qualities. I'm surprised you know of yours, since other people are normally a guage of what qualities we possess. dan  
Date: 10/8/2004 12:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 33573    You sound kind of like me. I am a very sarcastic person and I know it. It's just the way I am. I am not so much as I was a year ago but its just my type of humor and personality. Everyone that knows me knows that about me, so I try not to be that way around others anymore until they know the real me. I think people also think I am stuck up. I don't think I am at all either. I think every person has someone who thinks they are stuck up whether it be because they don't like them or just because they dont know the person and because they dont talk with alot of people, they say that they think you believe you are better than everyone else and stuck up. That is my take on it. Like, I know a kid that I was friends with and he said when he first saw me, he imagined I would be very stuck up but once he got to know me, he said I was real nice. We can't please everyone and if you try to, you will still get comments thrown at you like you are fake. I know alot of people that are called fake just because they like to be nice to everyone and socialize alot. Itis just apart of our society, we are quick to judge people and we stick with that judgment. Get what I am saying

Date: 10/8/2004 1:56:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 25756    Lol, I get what you're saying Amanda, thanks. That makes sense. It's just well, I guess I take little things pretty seriously. For example, I could be getting along really well with a person, but if they make a certain facial expression, or say a certain thing, it might throw me off and make me feel as if they didn't like me. You know? Maybe that's confusing, but here's another example. the other day I was talking with a guy and I made a pretty sarcastic comment, and he just gave me this LOOK. It was as if I had hurt him SO badly and he could not beleive I just said that and he hated me for it. From that moment on in the day I felt AWFUL.  
Date: 10/8/2004 1:56:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 25756    And I still do feel really badly about it.  
Date: 10/8/2004 2:11:00 PM  From Authorid: 26733    I know what you mean, I use to be like that back in the day. Im still sarcastic as anything but I say all my sarcastic comments with a smirk. Sometimes its best to say "You know im just kidding" just to let them know as some people take certain things to heart. I think as you grow up you will learn peoples (not friends) opinions of you mean less and less to your overall self confidence. If someone doesnt like the way you are dont waste time trying to make them like you, move on. Matt aka  
Date: 10/8/2004 3:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 62915    I was and still am a bit just like this. I am extremely sarcastic and it is hard for me to talk to people. I tend to have to wait till they talk to me and just like you a facial expression can throw me off. I think the best thing is to just be yourself and make more of an effort to not be thrown off. Start saying hello and smiling at people. Sure you may get burned a couple of times but at least you know you were nice and that that person is not worth your time. I guess you just have to put yourself out there. Ghost-Chick  
Date: 10/8/2004 4:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 60685    You're just getting to know these guys and vice-versa, sooner or later they will get to know the real you like your old friends did when you first met them, which is my complicated way of saying "give it time", hehe. I'm the same way, and actually had many of my friends say that they thought I was stuck up when they first met me, with time they realized that I was just a bit quiet and shy and that it took me some time to warm up to people. And don't get even get me started on being sarcastic, I've had quite a lot of trouble with that, the key is communication, if you've said something sarcastic which they took seriously simply talk to them and explain that you didn't mean any harm to their feelings and offer an apology. And remember, even if you're shy and can't think of a conversation starter, at the very least say hello, even if it's just by waving or smile to acknowledge their pressence.
PS: We know you're nice so don't try for a second to convince us otherwise or we will have a bone to pick with you miss! *HUGS*
  
Date: 10/8/2004 6:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 30786    Don't be so concerned with what others think of you. You are your own person, and should never try to change yourself. You are unique. I have the same problem, I am thought by many to be snobby, when in reality I am just very shy when it comes to new people, I have no idea what to say to them and I just freeze up. Then after they get to know me, I always hear "You are sooo different from what I thought you'd be!" Be true to yourself, because you can't please everyone all the time. What a job that would be!  
Date: 10/8/2004 9:45:00 PM  From Authorid: 62146    I would not worry to much about this we all have to be a bit mean from time to time I know I can be a jerk to people at times and usely I am pretty good to be around I have seem some of the nicest people I know be a bit rude from time to time. you mean things as a joke so you would nto classifi as a mean person. just chill and egnore what they think of you.  
Date: 10/12/2004 9:31:00 AM  From Authorid: 28767    I got the same problem too. I am overly sarcastic. Some people find it funny. Others don't. Sometimes you just got to think before you act. I mean are you going to be sarcastic to your manager. But to an employee you might be. That's what made me think. Peace Out..  
Date: 10/14/2004 7:43:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 25756    Thanks guys--I'm taking all you're comments into consideration. :-D
