awkward

I want to add that djjd is being much too modest. He is an enigma, shrouded in mystery, and wrapped inside the comics section from sunday's newspaper.

What can I say, I confuse the hell out of myself let alone other people... not the easiest to read I guess

@wandeljw,
Letty, Trusting? OK. Too trusting? I assume that this is connected to unpleasantness for you. Have your experiences made you more cautious?

George, I looked up bemused. Thought I knew what it means, but I wanted to be sure. The definition I was thinking of is viewing things with wry tolerant amusement. Another definition suggests confusion. And still another suggests distractedness. Which bemused are you?

dys, I expected nothing less than poopity-headedness from you. Not entirely sure whether that's a good thing or not. I expect not, but in a good way (?).

kuvasz, Relentless is a strong word and a strong quality. I suspect that it can lead to great satisfaction or frustration. An animal I think of as relentless is the wolverine--one of my favorites.

wandel, To my surprise, your saying awkward has made me feel awkward about what to say to you. Have you been able to overcome this feeling as you've matured?

Fascinating responses, you guys. Thanks.
Roberta

@Crazielady420,
Crazielady, Perplexing can be frustrating and, yes, confusing. It suggests (to me) strong emotions. Not necessarily a bad thing.

I am still awkward both in real life and online. Have you ever seen what happens when I try to joke with Setanta? Smile

@wandeljw,
No, must happen in threads I eschew. Your awkwardness doesn't seem to prevent you from diving in. Or is that just here?

@Roberta,
You asked about whether my curiosity has led me anywhere. Why do you ask that??

ACtually I just said curious because this weekend I was fiddling with a new little wasp nest that was quite fresh and 2 Daddy wasps nailed me. If I woulda just smashed the nest and had my hornets spray, itd be all over. NOOOOO, I needed to see how construction was going.

DOPIK, (thats another word that describes me pretty well)

Its a Pennsylvania Dutch word that mean "Doofus" or mainly "clumsy"

You can create almost any PA Dutch word by addink Ick at the end

Sloppich +dirty, unkempt, sloppy.

@farmerman,
Thanks for the info, fm.

Similar in a remote way to Yiddish. There are a lot of iks.

Yup! Germanic and Yiddish/Hebrew have some common root-words-ick, (e.g. as in Pess-a-dick food - Passover Kosher)

Witty (family and friends use it)

I have a positive-negative reaction to being asked questions. It's something deep, for it also manifests itself when I write in longhand. I tell my hand what to write, but the end product looks much like the lines in a polygraph test. When pressed by figures of authority, I go pretty much blank. So, when I read "the first word" that comes to mind, fragments of words presented themselves, rapid-fire, canceling each other out. I believe one of my more pronounced qualities is near infinite patience (not on a2k, but in my normal life).

"Meh" (That would be my first word because I suck at introspection.)

A little of each, but mostly the first.
I also considered bewitched, bothered, and bewildered.
