But I think it will be a refreshing change from my usual self-indulgent posts, right?

No?

But if you've read 'til here, you are subconciously agreeing with me.

Either that, or you are simply bored out of your skull. I would like to think the former.

So, the bearer of interesting questions shot another one at me today; 'what are you really like?'

Well, gee, I don't know.

While I'm not too bad at introspection, I'm terrible at self-psychoanalysis (and the thought of it being a Freudian theory is a little disturbing somehow) so all this while people told me what I was like.

Now, I don't know if I am the way I am just because that was what people told me. I would like to think not, because not many people actually get me in the first place. And I would like to retain my sense of individuality, thank you.

If you're really interested, you can get to know me in phases.

As an acquaintance, you would think that I am the most consistently indifferent person in the room, and also the most quiet.

Get to know me a little longer, you would realise that I do have my quirks and pet peeves. Example: I do not like following plans but I would also like to have things planned out or I'll get peevish. That's a good example that incorporates both points.

Give it a little more time, and you would find out that I am perpetually irritated. That's sort of my baseline emotion when there are people around. Not that I hate everyone, please don't avoid me.

After some more time, you will also realise that I have a silently explosive temper. I probably won't beat you up, but I'll curse you to the deepest depths of hell and back just so I can curse you again. But you'll probably realise this early if you've seen me drive.

I also have a short attention span and extreme impatience even with myself so I think I'll stop here. Great. I've successfully irritated myself again.

All in all, get to know me for five years to discover all of that. Alternatively, read five of my blog posts.
