What's it like to be you?

I think you mean 7+ billion 7 vivillon. Anyway, I'm a really laid back person, but I do get annoyed/angered if I'm provoked. One of my main cons is that I'm not exactly fond of meeting new people; it takes me a while for me to warm up to them. But once that's over with, I can be an extremely loving and loyal friend. I like things a lot of people in school don't care for (not that I care about what they think) and sometimes I just don't understand why those people can't be more caring for others. I just feel like I was meant to be the different one out of the ordinary group of people who all like the exact same things and act the same. I'm one of those people who can point out things that seem wrong and tries to fix them.

I think there's more I'd like to say, but that's all I can think of! xD

Edit: Misread the census reports.
I have a lot of "friends", pretty much everyone knows me, even if I may not know them. I'm pretty social, and I'm usually pretty trustworthy according to a lot of people. People like to put stuff on me occasionally, and I'll usually do it. Though when I notice a flaw I can usually be pretty snarky about it, though humorous and not insulting. I'm generally somewhat amusing.

Guess that's me.

No mate, 7 trillion is correct. Current U.S population is around 318,000 million.

I know I shouldn't be arguing here, but that's not how you write 318 (actually 313.9) million. It's 319,900,000. Nope, the world population is currently 7 billion (and counting) right now. There's proof all around the internet. There would be no way for the Earth to house 7 trillion people (7 trillion = 7,000 x 1 billion).

edit: Didn't mean this to come out as rude or anything.

Hmm, well if someone wanted to swap places with me and I had to give them a brief synopsis of my life I wouldn't have that much to say. I'm healthy (I think), I live in a nice neighborhood and my family is very supportive and loving. For someone to consider my life good they'd have to be quite unambitious though. I'm mostly a loner and i've taken to socializing with friends less and less over the years. I love video games, TV shows, music and movies. My hobbies are what get me through the day feeling contented. I'm not crippling shy but I'm not very confident either. I struggle to form close bonds with people outside of my immediate family circle. I don't have a boyfriend, a part of me wants one but I know I'd be happier single in the long run. I don't get attention from guys anyway or value the way I look. I don't think i'm hideous or anything dramatic like that, just nothing special.

I'd say over all, it's not bad being me, all things considered.
 
A lot of people would probably not like being me haha.

Let's see, I'm very childish. I'm so childish it's to the point where it interferes with my life sometimes. I've failed to mature for some odd reason. I can be a bit of a klutz, especially when I haven't slept much. Sometimes I have bouts of Insomnia and depression, so it can be difficult being me, along with random stomach problems no one can figure out. When I'm not having problems, though, I'm very cheerful and silly. I enjoy activities that nine to ten year olds would enjoy, from coloring, to just messing with stuff. That usually results in me either A) breaking it, or B) being yelled at by someone. I'm very quirky and people generally dislike me, either for my silliness or my weird quirks.
I generally have weird habits. When I'm thinking or bored, I'll chew on stuff that's not poisonous or dirty. I'll chew on forks or straws for no reason. I live in a nice house, with a large bedroom, and I only have one best friend, along with a couple other friends. Sometimes, I'll obsess over random stuff. I'm mostly a loner, though once you're my friend, you're stuck with me! Unfortunately, I can have an explosive temper if pushed over the edge. I'll speak my mind and my opinion no matter how unpopular it is, and sometimes that hurts peoples' feelings.
One major issue I have, is that I have no common sense. I'll just do stuff and people will not understand why at all, and my thinking patterns are generally different. Occasionally, I'll be really slow and thick and not know what anyone's talking about until they've explained it over five times. I have a really good imagination, though, which makes up for pretty much everything that I have problems with. And, uhh, yeah. That's about it, though I probably wrote too much again...
 
I'm usually not certain on most things and I second guess myself a lot. In accordance with that, I'm not really sure what else to write. I guess it wouldn't be that bad being me, not that I know for sure.
 
I'm more uncertain about my future than freaking Serena, and someone asking me about it always fills me with self-doubt, stress, and general depression with myself. I'm not very social when it comes to frivolous things (or just stuff I don't care about) but I can be VERY talkative if Game Freak, Square Enix, politics or LuacsFilms is involved. When I'm bored, I re-imagine scenes from video games either in a cinematic cutscene form or as a novel, in words. The former usually happens when I'm trying to go to sleep while the latter happens during school. I get cold very easily, so I wear jackets very often, even during the summer. Seriously, it doesn't matter if it's hotter than the Earth's core out there if it's freezing indoors...
 
I guess I can say it's not really easy being me. I have a lot of problems and I cant say my life is easy. I have a lot of stress, fears, insecurities and some anxiety about a lot of things in my life. I find it hard to just relax. I dont really talk much in real life because I never know what to say and am really afraid of saying the wrong thing or embarrassing myself or putting people off, it makes me afriad of doing things socially or being around a lot of other people. I also am not really that interested in a lot of things and find it hard to talk about really complex things and issues. I also think I'm fairly weird :/ There are a lot of things about me that are different. I guess that sums me up.
 
If there is anyone who wants to see what it's like in my shoes, there are a few things that you might need to know.

Here's my daily routine:

I wake up at around 6:00 in the morning. I go to wake Aria up, so she can get ready for work. While she's showering and changing, I make breakfast (Just as a warning, don't cook while you're half-asleep). After she eats, I see her off and go back to take a nap. 3-4 hours later, I wake up again and get dressed, clean the house. Then, around 12:30 PM, I go out to run some errands. it usually takes one to two hours, depending on what I need to do (go to the bank, go get groceries, go get something else I might need). then from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, I got to my office and work for a little while (I can do a lot of work in 2 - 3 hours). Then at 4:30 PM, I go home and start with dinner. Aria comes home around that time, so we eat and just rest for a while. Then at 6:00 PM, I might have some kind of meeting with a client, basically it's work, so I shower again, change, and leave for 1-2 hours. then at 8:30, I come home and relax for a while. That's also around the time when my brother comes and drops off his son at my place for a little bit, while he goes to night school (he takes college classes in the nighttime). so around 11:30 to midnight, He comes back to pick up his son and goes home. then I stay up for about an hour and a half, watching anime, and finally go to sleep.

This routine is not accurate, because sometimes, things take longer than usual and I'm rushing through everything. the good thing about this is, I work two Commission-based jobs, so I don't have to clock in and clock out. I can work whenever I want. the only downside is that if I don't do it daily, I don't get paid.

when it comes to my personal life, I'm well-known in the town I live. Because I'm a DJ, I've worked parties in nearly everywhere. In my free time, It's only about Anime, Manga or Video Games. I also sometimes go to the movies or the mall. but that's only when I have free time.

Get abused by parents, move out, get abused by flatmate, get kicked out by landlords who say it's my fault for being upset with flatmate, move back in with parents because I don't have anywhere else to stay.
 
Annoying, I suppose. I would say that the most interesting thing about me is how a lot of my traits contradict other traits. For example, I like to be dramatic and flashy, but I'm shy and don't like people looking at me. I never have a confident answer to anything and end up regretting most of what I do. I see everything as a double-edged sword, hence there's pros and cons to everything. My mind and thought process is something I have yet to figure out, and it's a chore to just figure out whether I want ketchup on my burger or not. I'm not even joking; I can sit and think for ten minutes, decide I don't want it, then eat half of my meal and put ketchup on burger, eat some more, decide I shouldn't have put ketchup on it and force myself to eat the rest of my burger.

I could go on and on, but I'll stop here. .-.
 
I know people have told me it must be easy to be me, and I guess I agree. I'm healthy, I have a loving (but rather strict) family, and what I honestly believe to be the best friends in the world. I'm not the most confident person, but I'm slowly getting better at talking to people. I can get nervous when trying something new or meeting new people. When I'm around a lot of people and I don't talk much, it doesn't mean I'm upset or anything- I'm more of a listener, and at school most people know me as the quiet one. Sometimes I need to be alone because I find it tiring to be with people for long periods of time. I'm a pretty laid-back and easygoing person and I'm usually happy- it doesn't take a lot to make me laugh. I've also been told I never get angry or stressed, haha. I guess sometimes I can be childish and immature. I tend to be the person that people go to when they want to vent or have something on their mind that's upsetting them. I also tend to be the one who's left looking after young children, since I'm pretty much a big kid myself! In terms of looks, I guess a few times people have said I'm pretty, but I'm not too sure. I am happy with how I look on the whole, though. I guess I'm lucky that I get good grades in school without really putting much effort in because I'm really lazy when it comes to studying. I'd say I'm an okay artist but I only really draw for fun. I also love to play video games and watch anime in my spare time.
 
Well to be me the TL:DR version is that, you have to be obsessed with cars, machinery, tools, metalworking, Bacon, pokemon, being healthy, pointing out the super obvious and making your own narriations while watching animes, Working out at the gym, and cartoons from the 90s and 00s. You also must have a strong dislike for Bishis aka Bishonens, Chibis, Incompetence, BIG DUMMYS, Vegan Meats, tofu, Isuzu trucks, Cheap Roller bearings, the characters Reisuke Houjou and Quinn Morgendoffer, and modern reality shows.

other than that, i try my best to succeed, i dont tolerate incompetence, i belive that you should treat others as you wish to be treated, and i dont lower my set standards on life
 
Well, if we're not talking about swapping personalities here, then my "situation" is pretty good. I'm not starving, I'm not abused, I'm not sick, I'm not in a poor location, that sort of thing. The biggest things I guess people would have to get used to are that 1) I live in south Florida, which is as tropical as you can get without actually being tropical, so people from anywhere north of here are going to be sweating a lot. I've gotten used to it since I've lived here most of my life, but I'm not immune to the temperature-humidity combo, either, and it doesn't help that my ethnicity isn't suited for this climate. I don't live in a particularly "tough" part of Florida, since I spend most of my time in a quiet suburban town with lots of pine trees, but my family has business in St. Petersburg, which is a major city but not "da ghetto" (which means it's filled with spoiled teenagers who compete to see how "ghetto" they are when in reality they wouldn't last five minutes in, say, Miami, or maybe even just a few miles north, in Tampa). On that note, 2) I take a road trip from here to St. Pete and back frequently, which I understand is not a normal routine, but I've been doing it for a long time now so I'm used to it. My parents divorced when I was 4, so I was being juggled from my mom's house to my dad's regularly anyway, so it wasn't a huge adjustment for me when I learned that things were going to be a little more complicated, and I've never been a stranger to long, silent car rides. I also understand that divorced parents is not a normal situation, but that wouldn't matter nowadays since my dad is dead now, but that's not a normal situation, either. Another important thing to note that even I try to ignore as much as I can is that 3) my family does not get along with each other. My mom drives me up the wall sometimes, but she feeds me so it's fair. My little brother is annoying and doesn't spend a lot of time at his own house, but he's my little brother so I have to be there for him. My mom's side of the family is not chummy with my dad's side, being as my dad comes from Midwestern liberals and my mom comes from conservative Texas. Even when my dad was still alive, he and my mom gave me conflicting information about each other and that made my trust shift one way to another and finally just go off its own way once I was old enough to think more clearly for myself. If that's "dysfunctional" in your book, then there you go, but I hardly know what that word means so I avoid using it.

I spent a lot more time on that than I thought I would, jeez. But now it's time for me to explain the personality part of my "life", in case that's the real point of this thread. I'm a teenager, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. :p
The words I hear other people use the most to describe me are "smart", "funny", "a douche", and occasionally "selfish". I do perform above average in school, and I even surprise myself sometimes! I have a rather deadpan, dry sense of humor, and as much I try to avoid it, in my real life my jokes can be quite insulting. For all these reasons, my joking around with my friends can roughly fit into the style known as "taking the piss out of people". I try not to be so mean because I don't take it so well when the tables are turned. I need to either find a way to not be so mean, or get some thicker skin when it comes to rude humor. I also 100% fit into the "jealous boyfriend" stereotype, mainly having to do with a lot of insecurity I feel about myself and the things I do. I've been told by people I care about a lot that I need to be more confident and stop worrying about the future so much. If people feel the need to say that to me, then I guess it's safe to say that I'm the insecure "worrywart" type. Because I'm unconfident in myself, I don't talk to people a lot and I find it difficult to talk to people sometimes, which means that a lot of my time is spent thinking about things I could do someday, rather than going out and doing something today. I would love to play music for people, but I can't seem to build up the guts for it and I just listen to other people's music. My career aspirations are very vague; all I'm settled on is that I want to do something in entertainment, because I want to give people the same sense of security and belonging that media like video games, music, and animation gives to me. All those forms of media are effective in their own ways, and since all I want to do is get my thoughts across effectively, I can't decide on anything specific within art. I find it difficult to make decisions because I'm very prone to over-thinking everything. Simultaneously, I'm aware that I'm not in charge of everything, but I want to control as much as I can about my life. (This feeds into the "jealous boyfriend" attitude I mentioned earlier.) Speaking of contradictions in my personality, I tend to feel emotions very strongly, but I try to be as unemotional as possible in my decision-making due to events in my life that have jaded me to the idea of "following my heart" or whatever people are saying these days. I hope that my emotions will become less potent as I get older, or form more relationships with people, whichever comes first. I try to share my opinions with large amounts of people because, being my opinions, of course I feel like they deserve to be said, but people don't appreciate this sometimes and it leaves me feeling very frustrated at people in general. This has led to me becoming a quite cynical, pessimistic person in my own eyes, but other people seem to be more willing to describe me as simply "negative". I do genuinely care about people and I try to do what I think is the right thing whenever I can, but as I was saying earlier, this means that what I see as "tough love" can come across to others as "being a douche".

Oh, and my personal catchphrases/mantras/words to live by are "treat others as you wish to be treated", "question everything", "don't worry about things you can't change", and "deal with it".

I'm spent, I got way more in-depth than I thought I would. That doesn't usually happen, so I'll take it. You're welcome for this increasingly-rare insight into my own psyche. I guess?
 
Hmm. I'm a laid back person. I'm very friendly, and I love to joke around. Most people who get to know me like me. I love to socialize, and I love to meet new people. I guess I can say I'm talented. I can sing, play guitar, cook, play sports. I can do gymnastics, and I speak more than one language. Despite that, I don't have a very high self esteem. I'm very modest about myself and about other people.

I have plenty of flaws too. One of my flaws is that I'm an extremely impatient person. It's hard for me to keep my cool in a long line, and I can get angry depending on how long I have to wait. I'm also bad at taking criticism because I'm always right. I can also be very lazy, which prevents me from getting things done.
