The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Im going to make this short and sweet and hopefully I get some creative responses. I am hoping for answers that are deep and really come from the heart. I really think this will help everyone here get to know each other a little more, so here it goes:
"What makes you different then most people? (not what makes you stand out) What makes your soul beautiful or what makes you soul wicked? "

[i]"What makes you different then most people? (not what makes you stand out) What makes your soul beautiful or what makes you soul wicked?"[/i]

A lot of people have said there's something about me that wants them to get to know me. i didn't think i had that quality. But i'm a guy who cares so much about people i've not known for long. I'd jump infront of cars for people i work with.

Echo has talked about my smile, and how my eyes sometimes smile at the same time as my lips smile and that everyone around is affected in a positive way.

I like to think that i make people feel more positive around me and a bit more happy just because i am.

what can i say? i'm a cuddly guy :D

damn. used to using [i] tags on another forum... now i feel stupid *smacks head on desk*

I think this might be hard for some people to answer!!!

i think it's because everyones indiviudal for so many reasons. i mean i'm individual because of a third party event when i was younger. if that third party event never happened i'd be a completely different person. I'm talking about me now rather than why i am...

you are right though. this WILL be hard for people to answer without writing novels...

This is an amazing question. I think that my eyes are the key to my soul, and they change a lot (seriously, they actually change colour.) so I think that what I am probably changes a lot, which makes the question even harder to answer.

I thinkIm going to have to answer this in a few posts while I think about it. But I think one thing about me is that I am developing all the time, and its this constant change which keeps me vitalised and searching for answers.

I feel that when I lok at people, I can see who lives through their eyes, and who has a sort of shroud behind them. Gareth (Gorey) really does 'live' through his eyes,a nd I think I do too. I think that may be one of the reasons why we get on so well.

Give me some time to ponder this (EXCELLENT thread.)

Your words are so pure,
So loving,
Your words alone make you different,
I can tell just by the way you put words together that you are so unique,
I hope you tell us more,
Im anxious

Thankyou. I suppose that words are one of the few ways to put yourself accross to the world, so its worth doing right.

I think curiousity is an important thing to have, and this thread expresses that you definately have that quality. Going out to find things... I dont know, its hard to explain but its that drive to live in YOUR own way...

in·di·vid·u·al·ism ( P ) Pronunciation Key (nd-vj--lzm)
n.

Belief in the primary importance of the individual and in the virtues of self-reliance and personal independence.
Acts or an act based on this belief.

. The quality of being an individual; individuality.
An individual characteristic; a quirk.




I believe that every individual has some sort of redeeming quality about them. I have not yet lost faith in mankind. I know that their is a source of inspiration to everyone. It is about finding that source and delineating it's lustrous qualities in order to become aware of the common good of humanity. I am an individual because I am not jaded by society. I believe "society" is a word implemented by the government to place us neatly into socio-economic brackets. Guess what? That is not who we are. We are not the money we make, our gender, our age, what clothes we like, the music we listen to, what we like or dislike-- a combination of these along with a myriad of other qualities are all a fabrication of us.

I belong to myself. I don't represent a group of individuals who deem certain actions wrong or right. We are born alone and we will die alone. This should be proof enough that we don't need anyone's approval for the actions we wish to take.

Deity if you don't learn to be a little more patient when you post I'ma slap you silly.
LMAO


What makes me different?
I don't know.
Thats a personal question, darling.

What makes me different is I live by the rule of it's almost impossible to tell the bad from the good in people. Also I am the funniest person I know.

Now the question is how many people do you know?
/:)

Good point Khayman. I think the question is the internal rather than self-observation. This is what makes it an impossible question in some ways.

what makes me diferent is me...
that`s it...

i have no how i should answer the question but i'll try, u see i wear alot of dark colors, no light colors once so eva and i usually sit by myself in a dark corner of the room, but lately i still get hit on....idk why but i do and they tell me that i am different than most goths, they say that my soul is very beautiful(not to sound stuck up or ne thing) i thought the way i act and the way i dress ppl would drive ppl away from me

urgh dammit **i dont kno how**
have

LMAO! AAAH your gonna hurt the feelings of one of my personalitys khay.

*raising hand and standing up in class shyly. "I've been told that if the Gods hadn't broken the mold for which I was made, the world would be in a whole lot more trouble." *sitting back down.

that was so very, very cute, ladylilian :o]

This simple fact
I never give up.. on life, on people, on thinking, on being, on striving, on learning....

This is a tough question to answer.... but i will try....

I've always been faced with hardships, my family didn't always have everything that we needed... I havent always had to work hard to get what I want.... but I have the determination to be something more than most people think I'm capable of, I've always been like that, mainly because i'm stubborn and I like to prove people wrong. This goes to say that I try to break the societal barriers. I'm not your typical law student, because i'm not afraid to be who i am, i'm not afraid to say to someone, higher up - no your wrong. I question everything that is said and taught to me, and i strive to see every side of the coin.

But at the same time, I'm unpredictable, and I will give off one emotion or feeling and mean the opposite, which for me is a defense mechanism.

A lot of who I am, that makes me different, is due to my childhood, or lack of one. And my morals, ideologies, are skewed a little because i never want to end up like my parents, and i never want to amount to nothing (as many have told me).

Its hard to pin point what exactly it is.... but thats my guess lol

I simply hate everything and love noone not even my soposed real family im not evil, but a lil devilish

i can find beauty in things most people ignore or dislike...like rainy days or when all the power goes out and it's pitch black and every one has to light candles and deal with the fact that they actually have to do something other than watching t.v., going on the computer, or listening to the radio..

I dont know if this is individual....but regardless of having a large dislike for most humanity I always try tohelp people who seem to need it...even people who I particularily dislike..if someone has a problem...I will try to help...it's just who i am

What has myself different then perhaps many or few is that no one truly knows who I am, no one understand my realm as I tend to keep most people at a distance, even those whom I know I shouldn’t. I’m not unique I certainly do not stand out, well perhaps except for the fact I wear flip flops and pink shirts; however my shyness and the few words I do seem to say capture others attention and I feel is what makes myself perhaps a lil’ interesting. Like most women bare proofs of maternal mystery making them more then interesting to I, I share lil’ mystery and those whom I know wish to understand that, my friends mention they truly never know nor can tell what I am thinking. I do all from within, I speak from within and write the same as to I words come easy when they are from the heart and feeling and it is only when one comes to try and think of what to say when words become difficult. However I truly don’t know what makes myself good, only those that know lil’ of myself would be able to tell…and none of them have followed myself here so I figure your question can not be answered, all I can do is believe in myself and if others may find sight to believe in me, then I am happy and content.

Deity..... exceptionally well said, both times even ;)

It's hard for me to describe why I feel different from most of my peers. It usually feel like I have a much different perspective on many things from most people I talk to. I don't think I understand myself well enough to form much of an answer to this question.

The level of selfawareness i have and choice

I have very many exantriceties and a squed sense of humer this is all amplified by the fact that i have no mental sceen (meaning i dont usually think before i say things) i once took a IQ test and i was declared criminally insane or socially inempt

Individualism huh Osage? Its a good question, but I don't know if anyone can really answer that about themselves, thats more of a third party kinda question isn't it? But then again, I always seem to be way out in left field when the ball is heading deep right.

what makes me an individual is that i don't fit in to any type and i do as i feel iam not going to say that it me on the outside but on the inside i feel just like every one but i don't try to push my feelings on others i just do what need to be done not to be a hero but to be a person so what makes me and individual is my soul and the way i listen to it and as far as what makes me shine it my heart and my mind

Well, on a scientific level. Although we all look quite different from one another, we are surprisingly alike at the DNA level. The DNA of most people is 99.9 percent the same.

Only about 3 million base pairs are responsible for the differences among us — which is only one tenth of 1% of our DNA. Yet these DNA base sequence variations influence most of our physical differences and many of our other characteristics, as well.

Sequence variations occur in our genes, and the resulting different forms of the same gene are called alleles. People can have two identical or two different alleles for a particular gene. So it's all down to the 1% in us...... It the 1% that makes us the individual.

Loki you know me by now, im not to ordinary, but thats what makes me different. I dont hang with groups of people. I find myself to be anti social sometimes, ok ok most the time. I like to meditate which a lot of people would be supprised to hear me say. I love to think of nothing and clear my head of all the negatives and positives. I love writing poetry, but what makes me different is, no one can read them. I will not show anyone my work. Its to complicated and most people wouldnt understand it. I write what I feel even if it makes absolutely no sense what so ever to the "normal" person, because it makes perfect sense to me.

Loki dont try to dip out on this question.
Cmon try to answer!!

Hehehe, there's a little thing with the reading of the poetry called 'Benefit of the Doubt', Laven.

I'm excelent with poetry.
Go for the gusto, baby-cakes.

Hmm. I can take a stab at this ... but I am not sure how my self perceptions differ from the reality of the me.

I think what makes me an idividual, or sets me apart from most folk, is the way I view the world, the people in it and myself.

These views may be enhanced or altered in some fashion by various abberations in my mind, chemistry or perception-wise, but ... Damn. This is a difficult question. I don't know. The way I look at things or perceive them is the only think I can think of that might set me apart from others. To quote an annoying CG creature, "My give up."

Khayman, I let my english teacher read it once and she cut me down. She said the form wasnt right and the count was off.
I told her that my Poetry comes from my heart and she told me "well its not good enough to pass". Since then I have been real scared to let anyone, even my own family read it.

well I'm as shallow as a mud puddle.....

and I'm terribly honest....

but an individual is a failed ideal.....

to aspire to be unlike anyone else is a flailing decent into madness on hotdog day without any ketchup or mustard....

I hope that obscures the hell out of what I think about this subject .....

cause clarity on any single human being is fleeting at best and very illusionary and demeaning at it's worst.....

If someone "tries" to be unlike others then that sounds more like a mental issue. I believe everyone is different. Clothes dont make someone different. Hair color doesnt make someone different.
Its what comes from the heart and the mind. If you are saying that your mind and your soul are the same as others then i believe that you have been misled by your own mind. As it say on the first comment.
What makes your soul beautiful or wicked?
I think many people dont really know themselves like they should. Thats why this is impossible to answer for some.

I don't know if I have much individualism..

I think your missing a question in that.....

do you have a soul?

but I digress....

I don't think I missed your quesion I think I hit it right on by aiming anywhere but where it is.

you asked for people to say what makes them unique and different......

I think I displayed what I think makes me unique and different.....

but I had issues with the underlying premise.....

because it is based on an unprovable point.....

Just because you've only ever met individuals doesn't mean that there are only individuals out there. It's a safe bet but it's not an absolute.

ok that went right over my head..*watches it fly over **wondering what it was***

lol Mordes ur brilliant!!!!! deffinitely unique in your twisted way :)

Well first off, I guess we are getting into beliefs. I Have a soul. No one on earth can tell me other wise. I believe I am different from others.
If you read above a lot of people cant explain, or its too personal.
As for your last comment im not really understanding what you are trying to get at. Please explain

I had to read it over a few times but I think I get what you are saying.
I dont entirely agree but I do understand your point.

well how does one map a soul.....

and would one wish to?

I can feel my soul but i cannot read it.
I know its not evil nor purely good,
I know that it influences my decisions,
I know that there is a need for silence deep down, a silence that has me conjoined between reality and fiction.
My only problem is the fact that I dont know if I know my soul when I am awake or when i am asleep.
I would love to Map my soul, but your right I dont think I even know what it is. i just know its there

well i can make this real simple im emotionally dead........i feel nothing there for i am not weak.....or would u consider that my weakness? come on now demondchild dont lie to everyone now u are the pure esscence of evil *hehe* or is that me? i keep forgetting......i have to agree with the child on this however its not so much me hating everyone its just not interested in what anyone does or feels at this point in my life.....well ok i lied there are a few 2-4 to say the least that i would mildly care if they dissapeared forever but i would over come that eventually

"What makes you different then most people? (not what makes you stand out) What makes your soul beautiful or what makes you soul wicked?"

Interesting question. How i differentiate from others is my uniqueness i suppose.. when people slander me, and belittle me, i seemingly take it, and look at them and nod, when in reality, my mind is working on the perfect revenge.. Most others i know cant think under pressure.. but i can.. hmm

I dont think my soule is beautiful or Wicked. I hurt people, i love people, Neutral be my soule.. i honestly care about people and want to help them, but then again, when they are bug me to the point of me telling them to shut the fack up, then, i suppose that would make my soule naught beautiful, but wicked for lashing out so meanly, when in reality, they were just being friendly, but going about it the wrong way..

Well DarkLight, let me just say your soul is definitely more beautiful than wicked.

As for me...I think it is my tolerant nature that draws people to me, I have been told that I am easy to talk to, and I am too caring for my own good. I'll give the world for those I love, and try to whenever possible. I just dn't show it often, save for a select few, the rest of the time I'm just a mystery.

What makes my soul beautiful??I personally don't find my soul beautiful. Although I know DarkLight wouldn't agree with me there, along with some others inactive on the forums.

I don't think I'm outright wicked though. I think bad things, but I never try to harm people unless I am harmed first, or those I love have been harmed. I think I'm just coldhearted and distant rather than wicked..but again, I think people that know me would argue on that.

lol.. Kateryne my love, i thank you :) *bows in your honour*

and ya, your right.. i dont find anything wicked about your soul.. only flawless beauty :)

Alright I guess I cant argue with that Osage, but I still can't think of anything. I guess if anything individualizes me, its my ability to fit in just about anywhere. I can and will make friends of all kinds, and share their heartaches and sorrows and joys with them no matter what. I can fit in with anyone, and people just tend to treat me as one of the guys nomatter what I do, I dont know how I mannage it, but it happens, and I guess I should be looking for a reason for it, but I havent yet.
