342.0. "Interesting? I certainly am!" by CIM::BEDO () Tue Jul 07 1987 17:56

Interesting person?  Hang around, I don't mind. 
How do I do it?  Well, that may take some time...


You mean "What interests me?"  No, not at all. That was a previous note.
This is quite the opposite. 


The question is:

	What makes me an interesting person?
	



Unappreciated answers:

	Short, non-descriptive, meaningless smart-ass replies such as

	/ Myself / The way I act / What I say /



Be descriptive, with lots of adjectives.

342.1How should I know?QUARK::LIONELWe all live in a yellow subroutineTue Jul 07 1987 18:025
    I'd be at a loss to explain what makes me interesting.  You'll have
    to ask the people who know me.  I think the same would apply to
    anyone, singles ads notwithstanding.

342.2ask those who know...YODA::BARANSKIWhat, I owe you money?!?Tue Jul 07 1987 20:3314
A shot in the dark...

I'd guess it's my wildly associative memory which I stuff with all kinds of
information.  Of course this means my memory access leaves a bit to be
desired... 

I would also say, my hunger for persons, my willingness to help, and general
kindness and generosity.

Hmmm... I wonder if it could work out for other people to say what attracts them
to certain people, as implied in -.1  I suppose that asking for feedback
is too much, huh?

342.3I know its.....NCVAX1::COOPERstudette in actionWed Jul 08 1987 21:538
    Because I smile alot, I have a cheerful, friendly disposition almost
    all the time, and I like to laugh.
    
    I like to help people whenever I can, I'm a good listner and in
    general I care about other people's feelings.

342.4DifferencesGCANYN::TATISTCHEFFThu Jul 09 1987 13:3912
    Won't answer for myself, 'cause I don't know if/why I am interesting
    :) but in others...
    
    I find myself very interested with people who cannot be categorized.
    For this bigoted mind, that includes intelligent people with a thick
    accent, most feminists [whether or not they define themselves as
    such, they vary a lot and the variety of opinions/reactions is very
    interesting], anyone from another culture/country/race, traditionalists
    who have a few liberal beliefs [why traditional here and not there?],
    etc, etc.

    What makes me interesting?
    	Why (spoken with a breathy southern accent), Ah guess its mah
    penchant fah cannibalism ... ah maybe it's mah little habit of
    throwing very hot pennies to small children ... or,... do yah suppose
    it could be from mah style of dressing in old tin foil?
342.6Knowledge and experiencesWCSM::PURMALAnalogous to 'Oh darn!', but severeThu Jul 09 1987 17:196
        If people find me interesting I'd say its probably due to
    experiences I've had, or knowledge I have that they're interested
    in hearing about.  It could also be that people find me interesting
    because I'm interested in their knowledge and experiences.

    Mary you are by far the most interesting person in this note
    to date...
    
    (and I laughed so hard upon reading your note that people were
    giving me odd looks.)

    The previous are interesting people.
    
    I am cause I have a wacked sense of humor and I try to cheer people
    up and listen to them.  
    
    I like to get a bunch of people together whenever possible just
    to have a good time and enjoy each other's company.  Heck, what
    is life if you can't laugh at it and try to have a good time all
    the time

342.16There's an old saying...TSG::BRADYBob Brady, TSG, LMO4-1/K4, 296-5396Thu Jul 16 1987 17:312

342.17Its in the perceptionSTING::BARBERSkyking Tactical ServicesTue Aug 04 1987 15:429
    
     Ive always thought of myself as a bit different from the average.
    
     But then again define average ..... :-)  I suppose unique is a
     good word.  It all depends on who is the observer and how they
     think. I suppose those that find me interesting is because of who
     and what I am and what I do.
