Who am I to you?

I need to regain a sense of self in society. Reflections from people around me might help.

(sorry this is a repeat question, I messed it up the first time by replying to it myself and letting it turn into conversation)

I once asked my friend what the most annoying thing she thought about me was, and she said it was when asked what the most annoying thing about me was.

sense of self in society, can be like a role that everyone can relate to , a label. You can not simplify yourself, you will still be you and undefinable. But I think you as a very smart guy, very sensitive and caring and a helper who has a big heart. Also has a sense of humor. And a nice face. That’s what I gather about you from my experience here at help.com.

I think you are quite a quiet and gentle soul. I often wish you were happier and a bit more sure of what you want to do in life. I have noticed you are a lot more communicative lately and would take that as a sign that you are feeling a bit more positive about yourself. That means happy times to come.

I think you are a nice guy Mr Leibman - Mas

When I became active here and saw your comments I was a bit intrigued.

Who is this ‘white square called Michael Leibman’?
I found your comments highly amusing and saw the helpful touch in it, but in a different way.

As Mas allready said I also noticed a recent change. Instead of a ‘character’ talking it seems more like Michael talking now.

I loved the ‘character Michael Leibman’, found he was very amusing while still helpful.
However, I do prefer to like persons instead of white squares and you become more of a person too me lately.

I like that.

I hope you understand what I am saying, became a bit cryptic perhaps…

Michael Leibman is, in my opinion, is a kind hearted, sensitive person who has been wounded and tries everyday to heal himself. He is intelligent and funny, he likes to smile, he is a helper, not critical but caring. He is you! :-)

You are that guy. The one I know from the internet. Not really know, but then, do we ever really know anyone, even ourselves? You’re the guy who had the “anon” type geometric pattern and then the blank avatar(which I found rather amusing. Kinda like an ironic comment on existentialism). You’re that guy with the head full of confused hurt and the heart so big it must surely struggle to be contained within the confines of your chest. These days, you’re that rather rakishly handsome chap (I kinda pictured you with glasses. Aren’t our preconceptions strange?)who poses some wonderful questions about the nature of himself and the world around him. You’re the guy who helps, who tries, who falls and gets back on the horse and helps some more. You remind me of me a lot, though I suspect that is simply egotistical flattery and wishful thinking on my part. You’re one of those people on here who’s posts and even replies I make a point of reading (STALKER ALERT!!) You’re insightful, honest, tactful, considerate, funny without ever being cruel, confused, seemingly unaware of your own brilliance, compassionate and if I may be so bold, very kissable looking, sir.
You are one of the people I have encountered online with whom i feel an inexplicable kinship, a bond, an interest. You are a worry when you go quiet and a joy when you type effusively.
As with each and every one of us, you are what you do. In my opinion, you’re doing fine. Keep doing. Please.

Wowoo, Michael !!!! Cheers….

All these wonderful comments….

Hey, you know, this many people can’t be wrong ~smiles~

I agree with everything that was said,

and hope that you can see these good qualities in yourself ????

However, somehow, I am doubting that is a reality, am I wrong?

Someone or something has somehow made you to doubt yourself, and your abilities…

I think.

You must find a way to gain back your sense of self…..

who or what took that from you???

I think you are close to genius, and very empathic, caring, and easily hurt.

How far off am I ?

I admire you, and so do others, or they wouldn’t write as they do.

WE all care about you, and wish the best for you.

We are here, if we can be of help, in your quest.

We are all on a journey…..

Fellow travelers……

We can help each other along the way.

Wishing you many blessings, and peace, in life.

God bless…. u r friend, in Christ.

I think you are someone who is very intelligent that doesn’t know where he fits in. I also think you are very sweet and I imagine that you are a bit shy, but I could be wrong about that. All I really know is that I like you, whoever you are.

You were among the first people I shouted when I joined this site. Your replies are earnest, unique, sometimes puzzling, always provocative. I don’t know if this is deliberate or even if you are actively aware of it, but then again that’s part of your charm too.

I agree with Maximina’s replies on your other post, http://help.com/post/173297-a-rough-d… – that you have some pretty big walls up. It makes it hard to converse with you. Because of that, I feel like I really can’t get much of a handle on you at all.

I like her suggestion that you try to describe yourself.

Maximina wrote:
May be you don’t let enough people into your world. I think you are an interesting guy who probably has a lot to offer the world, but is afraid to follow your hear for fear of rejection. You are suspious of others, but at time open and kind. You are honest, but you have so much more you could say if you would let some walls down.

At present it seems to me like you keep running away. You ask, but then you disappear. Something must have happened to you in your life that makes you run. Maybe someday you could write about it here.

I dont know enough about you, to give an oppinion. However I find, from what I have seen from you, some one who is not agressive or nasty. Likes to help people where possible.
If you could open up a bit and let us in a little bit more, we would find a person who is even more likable than the person we already like.

Hi Michael. You know I have being trying to figure you out for sometime now. Now i know why it has bee so hard, you do not have a sense of who you are.

I would say I agree with a lot of the things that the others have said. I think you are intelligent, you have a good sense of humor, you are very caring and helpful with your replies. I do feel that you are a wonderful person who gets lost by some type of mental blockage. I hope this post has helped you in way.

I have the feeling that you might be a little shy of sharing your self with others, perhaps you could work on this.

You are a very good writer, I have notice that from other posts. You also must be quite smart as you always seem to make good replies and most that I agree with. :)

I think you’re an attention-seeker, fishing for complements but, hey aren’t we all at times? Everyone needs to be built up.

The way you come across kind but somewhat elusive and mysterious. But that makes you even more interesting to me and desirable to others. From their responses it seems like some of the girls like you.

If you shared more of yourself, I bet people would like you even more.

Yet he always gets the attention. Like this post. Like saying negative things about himself so that others will say that it’s not true. Don’t get me wrong. I like Michael. We all need attention sometimes. And online I find it not so awkward as in real life.

I think he gets the attention because he is so likable, but I really don’t see him as the type that goes for it. You are right though, we all need attention sometimes. For me it’s my husbands attention, I get like a school girl when he flirts with me.
