What makes you.... you?

Hmm, for me... Negative: I'm very aloof,and even cold sometimes if people don't initially catch my interest. I'm basically a ghost most of the time, not because I'm too shy or socially awkward to socialize with people but because in most cases I'd really rather not. I can also be very quick to dismiss people as being not worth my time or attention Positive: Despite all of those things in the negative section that suggest I'm a total misanthrope, I actually can be fairly understanding of other people's problems, I basically end up as an arm-chair therapist for a lot of my friends. I'm open-minded and always willing to look at the world from different perspectives and analyze different ideas and concepts, I'm pretty blunt and not one for pleasantries, sugarcoating things, or just coddling people...Some people I've met have found that part of me to be very refreshing and authentic while other people thought I was just a grump. :v

What makes me me is the internal absents of self when I’m alone and the hollow chameleon like shell when with others You bet I went full edge on that statement. *cue anime pose* But seriously though...

Oh bugger me, I wanted to make a snarky post about being pure awesome, but this is Serious Talk. Tch Uh... I'm way to considerate and empathetic for my own good, frequently sabotaging many endeavors I take for fear of things like being a bother to someone. I'm unreasonably hard on myself and I blame myself for things that aren't my fault or I had no control over. I ruminate over my failures far more than I should, and I set my expectations of myself so high that I basically set myself up to fail. For good things, I'm empathetic and caring. While I don't choose to care about many people, for those I do choose to care for, I'll frequently by the first in line to help them if they ever need it. I'm intelligent and witty, and I've always been wise far beyond my age. I can quickly and seamlessly transition between seeming like the dumbest person in the room to being the smartest when I feel like it, and then back when I get bored. Being the genius isn't nearly as much fun as playing the fool. I'm an INFJ. Hear me roar. In my head, because doing that crap out loud would be like, super embarrassing and stuff.

Nothing, nothing makes me special, I'm going to die anyway and my existence is meaningless in this world. If I answer this it'd be irrelevant to others too because those are traits only I can see, hence why I'd rather be described by someone else than to start plastering my meaningless thoughts on a thread.
