How the public (your school, work etc) sees you

[Erana]

Well, I wear a red star, and I live in the United States. So of course I must be...

a fascist. It makes perfect sense - to someone living in this absolutely politically ignorant country. As a socialist, I will calmly explain to someone why they're incorrect when they compare my views to Stalin's. When the people here compare my views to Hitler (which happens all the time), that's when my shit has been officially flipped.

Is there any "ist" that is understood correctly by the general public?

Still, I get labeled the creepy, quiet art girl. I don't know why I'm considered creepy, though; I wear black 'cause colorful things would get stained by all the graphite and charcoal I use, and I'm tired all the time for medical reasons.

And gee, a lot of 'Scapists get labeled creepy/goth/emo, don't we? Huh.

I am basically the ninja of my school. I'm pretty much invisible to all, except a few friends.
I wear Aeropostale, American Eagle, and most of my jeans have holes or tears in them so I guess that makes me a douchebag? Just because I like the brands and that I look good in them?
On the Escapist, just some random poster.

No, You're a Beat Writer. Says so right there under your name. Enjoy it while it lasts; once you hit Gonzo, you'll be stuck there for a while.
Unless you get a PubClub membership.
But I had been stuck with "Gonzo" for over a year!
Still, have you found an 'scapist subculture yet? You RP? Like the IRC? Part of any usergroups yet? Its a good way to get your name out, and fun to boot.

I'm often known as "that emo kid" because for 2 years ago, I had long almost black hair. [SUB]And my normal haircolour IS brown/black...[/SUB]

Also I'm known as a nerd because I get better grades than every stupid little wanker in my class, the fact is, I haven't sat down and done homework for 3 years. But still they think I'm a geek. THE INTERNET IS MY SOURCE OF INFORMATION, GODDAMNIT!

 

[SilentBobsThoughts]

No, I don't fit any stereotypes at all. Also I hide from people most of the time

So your a ninja then?

Haha no not really. I get along with everyone and I go to all the parties and stuff.

Life's pretty alright for me. I'm just not a massive fan of the rugby boys who are all too muscly to be attractive and can't seem to keep it in their pants D= But then again, maybe I'm stereotyping them!

I'm totally not though, they are all genuinely douche bags.

I'm not...

 

[Dark Prophet]

mostly no one sees me at all, because thats how I want it to be, but the few who do notice me consider me shy or arrogant cause I don't talk to people much and try to be as laconic as possible.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Well. At work i'm a reliable and polite co-worker but don't connect with the other co workers that much. I greet them and thats it. So maybe im said to be a little strange there.
There isnt much opportunity to talk though, and even less reason, because most of the people there are extremely uninteresting "normal" folks.

At my favourite Pub/Concert Hall/Party location, i'm known as a direct, political incorrect honest guy with a good dark sense of humor, that likes to drink a lot and if needed will always volunteer to support the place.

At university some people see me as the "asi-gothe" (hard to translate that well... anti-social-goth would be the word-by-word translation, but thats not what is meant in "slang" asi- as a prefix is used for, well, someone who doesnt care what others might think about his behaviour and therefore might do things that aren't acceptable in public by the most. Plus its friends using it more jokely than in its true sense)So for university standarts. Meaning, true university students, and not the dull "i have to finish as fast as possible and just do what i have to do" kind of modern BA students" who don't got the difference between humanistic university and a job training, its a definition for someone fun, who might not be appreciated by too serious people.

 

[Ghost1800]

How does the public see me?

They don't. Don't get me wrong, it's not anything that I'm actively doing, it's just for whatever reason I don't get noticed in almost any sense. I'm that guy that every one seems to vaguely remember but can't recall a face or name... it sucks...

 

[Faulty Turmoil]

At school my nickname is The Machine. Because Im strong, fast and can beat anyone my size in a fight. Im also quite good at science. And since I've got a rep as "A Ninja" no one who knows me, enemy or no, would say or do anything against me. Unless they're stupid.

 

[Litchhunter]

Apparently their is a stereotipe that science students are bad at english. I beg too difer.

Kind of ironic due to the three spelling mistakes.

I think your irony-as-a-joke metter is broken.

 

[Ekonk]

Mostly due to the way I dress and my glasses, people instantly assume I'm a shy, socially backward nerd.

In fact I'm a loud, hyperactive, amiable nerd.

 

[FolkLikePanda]

I think most people at my school see me as a reclusive, strange, weird, creepy, scruffy, unsociable, self-pitying, loud, opinionated, violent-outbursting, misunderstood, over-emotional, angry, short fused, hermit-like, out-of-date, unattractive, shy, clumsy, yampy, possibly-mentally-unstable, fidgetty, twitchy git. And these are the terms I have gathered from people one way or another.

 

[rokkolpo]

i'm very individual and seen that way.

i'm mostly individual in the fact that i don't don't take bullshit from teachers and wear a grey fedora hat.

i'm so sad that standing up to teachers makes me special.

 

[Queen Michael]

I'm kind of a weirdo, so there is no stereotype in which to fit me. What I mean to say is that I'm not a weirdo-poser who says "I'm weird!" proudly; I think I'm fairly normal and everybody I meet disagree.

 

[ModsDeleteThisAccountPlease]

It's really varied. My teachers see me as a good-two shoes. The FPS nerds I'm on bad terms with because "I have a social life" since I'm more or less dating this Sophomore (I'm a Freshmen), but I'm still friends with one or two. I get along fine with the WoW nerds. The Math nerds see me as "too White" to hang out with them (I'm actually Indian); They're usually cool though. I'm a friend of the Asian clique because I know a lot of people there, and I'm an honorary member of the band geeks since I'm friends with so many and my quasi-girlfriend is one of them. I only know one or two of the popular kids though and most Indian girls hate me for acting to "White" and "not caring about school enough." It's ironic because I'm in higher courses than them anyway.

 

[ZforZissou]

I'm the Nerdy-smarty-pants. Although most admit that I'm much cooler/funnier if you get to know me. This makes me smile

 

[SilentBobsThoughts]

When I was is in my first few years of 'Highschool' I was obviously obese but I grew a foot taller and it stretched out in a way?

And I do weights now so I'd say I am more muscle than fat but still called fat bastard quite often. But meh, no one bullies me anymore seeing as the last prick who did had to dodge a chair.

Oh and a Mosher as I used to have long black hair too.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I wear a poncho to school

...yeeeaaah...
