Friends or family describing you. What would they say?

Goodness knows and could never ask. This has really got me pondering. I think maybe I would be described as the odd one out.

The super-extrovert dd might well say (out of my hearing!)
that I’m an unsociable old bag.

Other dd, much more like me, would probably say I’m normal!

That's lovely Auntumncolours.

DS says I wear my heart on my sleeve and I don't need to say what I'm thinking; it's written all over my face.

Lots of things I’d rather not hear I suspect! However, my darling father told me I was kind not long before he died and I cherish that still.

My eldest son says I’m a people pleaser and never say no even when I should. I think I’m being kind but he thinks people take advantage of my kindness another person said bluntly “people take you for a mug”. I’m trying to learn to say no. No excuses just sorry no I can’t I’m busy.

I've been described by friends as Bohemian and "different". I think they were being complimentary!

I am often described as that and also “arty looking”.

My lot would say "she always has to have the last bloody word!"

If I had a fiver for every time I've heard it......

My husband described me once as like an expensive clock that’s been taken apart and out back together with a bit missing. It still works but its just not quite right! Now my ex😂

A significant number of people, feel that everyone has a high opinion of them.

I admire their self-confidence.

I’m not sure about that 🤭

Thanks for the replies Madaleneand beechnut
I remember some names from way back, Anniebach, Monica, Paddyann and Urmstogran.(changed name now i think). Lovely to see so many new names though. Thanks for the welcome.

Very open - minded and non judgemental, extremely loyal, self-deprecating.
A quiet person, self aware and very affectionate with loved ones.

An ex SIL once described me as uncaring, unloving with no emotional intelligence. Strange remark really, as other friends and family said just the opposite, with a good sense of of humour!
I made no response to him re his hurtful comment, just a ‘dignified silence’ to use the words of my lovely Mum- and although hurt by it I didn’t respond angrily, although I felt furious inside, as despite my lack of emotional intelligence 😉 I knew he was hurting and just lashing out. We don’t speak now, and as we both still live in the same village avoid each other where possible.

Nanny27 click Forums at the top. Pick the one you’d like from the list and click start new discussion and away you go. Welcome back 😀

I can’t remember you Nanny27, but there are so many people on GN that it’s difficult to remember everyone.
Anyway, welcome back.

Probably a bit forgetful. I've been off Gransnet for a while but now I'm back and have completely forgotten how to start a thread.
Anyone remember me from a few years back? I still see some names I remember.
Help please.

I can't imagine how they really refer to me but I'd like to think they see me as tolerant, kind and loving. I'm sure they'd really call me 'opinionated'!

I imagine the GC would describe me as a pushover but strict on manners and politeness.

I have no idea what my AC think of me, hopefully kindly and always on hand to help with childcare, with a sprinkling of scattiness and insecurity.

I wouldn’t risk asking .

I asked my daughter, she said ‘outgoing, forthright, generous and a great cook’

A colleague once stated she calls a spade a spade. I’m very good at putting my foot in it. I’m also caring told by my son my hearts in the right place. Over sensitive, over thinks things which is probably my illness of fibromyalgia.

My GC refer to me as naughty nanny because I tell them straight if they are misbehaving. They know very well I love them but unlike their parents I won’t put up with their tantrum's.

I expect every friend and family member would have a very individual perspective, that would also vary according to whether they were talking to me or a third party 🤣🤣🤣

Actually my daughter in law says regularly that I’m very generous.
I think they might say I’m family minded, bake good cakes, and spoilt by my husband. Which I am.

I dread to think!
