Thought Experiment: Who am I?

[Co3x]

Now bear with me on this one...

I was sitting on the bus one morning, staring idly out the window, watching everyone wander past doing their own thing when all of a sudden I thought to myself; "what am I to these people?" Then for some reason I found myself going all Truman show on my own ass.

Suppose the world we live in has been created for/by someone else and we are all here for their benefit. Who am I? Am I the guy sitting in the bus who's sole purpose is to act as padding, well other wise the world would be a tad empty... Or am I someone a bit more important? Does the act of seeing me remind them to put their hat on or that they really need to shave?

Do I have a profound effect on them? Does the bus I'm in get blown to kingdom come by a random accident/terrorist attack and saving me/watching me burn causes them to change as a person? Do we in fact become close?

I went for something a little dramatic, that's just me though. I like flair. I had this vision of an explosion from the far side of the street knocking the bus sideways. Slowly watching as the glass from the bus windows cracked like spider webs, covering everyone in a fine powder as the bus crashed down onto its side. Then through the ringing I hear a voice calling out to me, asking if I'm OK. I open my eyes and stare into theirs, she stops talking and tries to move me free, but it isn't happening. I watch as she starts to fade into the background, I can here her trying to get me to stay. It's too late for me, I've reached my stop. You've got a while left to go darling. I am your first touch of mortality, you won't forget me.

So the aim of the game is who are you? Be honest, you can base it on any experience that you've just sat and thought to yourself "who am I to these people", it doesn't have to happen on a bus, but do try to keep your scenario within the realms of believability - no giant space monsters basically ^_^

I'd like to see feedback on what people think about these, but be fair. If you criticise I expect to see you sharing!

I am me:

And that is who I am to everybody.

 

[imnot]

I know who I am, I am the monument to all your sins.

Does it matter? Ultimately no life is wasted, even if you live it in solitude it is what it is. Honestly I believe the only real achievement in life is to drag it out as long as you can and do what you think is right, even when that's the hardest thing to do. Honestly it's just one of those questions that sorta brushes off with me personally. I could think I'm the guy just trying to help and end up the one who everyone thinks is just doing it with some ulterior motive. It's all perspective. I personally think the only thing to life is to take it as it comes because highs and lows included, it's a helluva ride.

Me and my friend had a fairly in-depth conversation about this. As it turns out, we concluded that we are constructions of the imagination of a man in Korea, placed here to fill the world and convince him of its reality.

But really, I just think I'm me. Which is handy, because I'm the best there is at being me and I'm terribly out of practice at being anyone else.

I am me, a product of my parents,friends,family and enviroment
A human on the planet earth
one of the few billion living on that planet
that,s all I know!

I am...

Damned from the beginning, and I couldn't give a shit about it.

A single human being doesn't do much to another persons' everyday life, but the world is full of people, that every day change something in this world. A single persons actions makes a small impact on other peoples day, how small it may be. It's the worlds' full population that makes the day go around, and in the end your own actions changes the life of other people a little. It may be that you are eating an ice cream, and another guy sees it, and suddenly he has the urge to go get one himself. This way you and I, are a part of everyones' life, and they are a part of ours', as small a percentage this may be.

We are all one...


GOD THAT WAS CHEESY XD

I'm loving this! "I am who I am" there is no truer statement. However, no offence meant, but to me it means nothing.

But by creating you're on little scenario, based in someone else's reality, you are revealing a little bit of yourself, but not in the way that can get you arrested... That's frowned upon.

 

[LloydEsaka]

I'm a lazy good for nothing smartass, and damn'd if I'm not loving it.

I tried asking jackie chan but all he said was "WHOOOOO AM IIIIII?"

 

[Riptide1]

kinda funny one of my friends and me have a running gag on this... or is it?... One day while we sat bored in our campus choir(free easy credit) class for some reason i cant remember he proposed that i was insane and that he was a figment of my imagination. We have since had many conversations based around how logically possible this is... It has yet to be confirmed or denied...

 

[Spacewolf]

well if you where a bit character in the tuman show then you would know it was fake since thats how they kept it secret so you must be the one the cameras are watching, every hour of everyday

Oh, I know full well how I'm viewed by judgemental eyes, so let me ask you.

Do the girls respect a boy who allows himself to be kissed? Sure, they might have there way, get their jollies with me, but I'm always overlooked for matters matrimonial, matters that matter beyond a cold encounter on a hot winters night... But I put it to you, good man, that correlation does not necessarily equal causation, and that someone will take me as I am.

Call me friendly, say I'm not fussy, call me anything but "hussy".

I'm here to serve as a replacement for the "main" person of this world. The being that created this world for the "main" guy has let some of his creations roam fully free as part of an experiment, and I was one chosen. It has seen the potential in me to become a great, amazing person and eventually transcend to super-being hood because of my greatness. I will inevitably encounter the "main" person and kill them, esentially making me the new "main". I will become ruler of our planet, and with my help we will leave Earth to find new worlds. I will be regarded as a hero of humanity, and upon my "death" there will be great mourning. In reality I will have transcended to demigod-hood and will be free to experiment/alter humanity as I see fit. I will travel through the dimensions, discovering things never thought of by humanity. I shall inevitable return to my home world, a changed man, a stronger man. And I shall put humanity to a test that will challenge their very ability to survive. I shall be regarded as God. People will worship me, beg me for help. I may help them, I may not. In the end, when humanity inevitable dies away, I shall be the only one remaining. I will be, in a sense, complete. It is then I shall meet the supreme being that created me and the origanal "main" to begin with.

Sadly, the voices in my head won't tell me more than that

On a side note, where did you get that jacket? DO WANT!

Faint at the price. But it was worth every penny!

 

[philosophicalbastard]

Who the hell do you think I am!? (I seriously need to stop watching Gurren Lagann or any Gainax shows in general -_-)

I'm just the guy who aspires to expand humanity past this little rock and into the vast frontier of space. That is my goal, and if anyone gets in the way of that goal they shall feel my wrath.

Everyone else thinks of me as the smart kid, a persona I have carefully constructed for myself.

Just your average deviously mad, bisexual and sadistic geek, who is quite loud and has an obsessive affinity for girly anime.
Although that's only something that a few people know me as :3
To my family I'm just a timid, quiet nerd who they probably think has little to no self esteem.
I hide a lot about myself, my mom is the only person in my family who I really talk to.
