Like all living things I have no organic being made up of particles that were once part of the long dead star billions and billions of years ago. The complexities of the particles that make up my body might be are likely to rub off in some ways on the person Composed of them, as that they are composed of me.
This is human being my lifespan will not come anywhere near the age of those particles that make up my body if I'd like to believe that my experiences and my existence add to the distinctiveness of those pieces of matter, who's animating constructs of bio-ttheric energy that will continue on after I am dead.
The most energized particles that we know of is the cosmic leftovers of that last dying star before it was destroyed in ours was reborn in it's place. Uranium is the most abundant of these celestial leftovers of those long dead solar furnaces existing before ours, each incarnation of solar compression and expulsion, like a centrifugal mass of ignited plasmas and helium gasses, breathing New Life in the reincarnation of those recycled gasses, particles, and plasmoids of cold-fusion primordial life, creating a new star, with those particulates trapped within the crushing GRAVETATIONAL field of it's incredible mass, with each partical getting greater stores of energy and complexity with each lifespan and supernovae death, to be reborn again in the singularity birth canal of a young black hole sucking everything that was expelled from the dying star before back into its core to begin the birth and development into maturity for its own destiny toward a supernova explosion of increased energy and accumulated Mass was very creation of matter and that's confusion energy states increases in population and subatomic complexity.
That is the sum of my parts and if I managed to exceed the sum of my parts, now consider myself very fortunate in contributing my fair share to the energy state of life experience, my small, but significant contribution, to the birth of the next star to come.
Both.
I don't enjoy complexity in my life. I prefer peacefulness.
I like things to be convenient, ergonomic, easy and orderly.
I resist change.
If I'm going to do something like take a vacation, I like to plan it first so that the vacation itself will be as enjoyable and effortless as possible. The same goes with building something for my home. So the purpose of planning is to achieve simplicity and avoid chaos.
However, I'd say that I am complex. I have a curious mind. I question everything. I look for underlying motives and causes. Almost everything is multi-faceted and nuanced. I like to gain as much information as I can on interesting issues, and explore every possible perspective.
Math and science aren't my things. I read and listen to scientific information, but some of it goes over my head and I retain few details. It basically serves to inform my broader opinions.
I love things like history, cultural anthropology, art, and social issues. When it comes to those things, "My mind is a raging tor****, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives." Because of that, I sometimes have trouble in clearly expressing opinions because 1) you can only express one opinion at a time even if you have more than one opinion on a subject, and 2) explaining something often requires background information. So, for example, sometimes when my wife asks me a question, I have a tendency to digress as I try to explain things that are necessary to understand in order to understand the answer to the original question.
I value cultural knowledge, too - old films, literature, music, comedy. People who can reference things like that are witty and highly entertaining.
They might want to crack down on movie pirating.
You know how it went with Napster. Gov't got involved, lots of people got emails warning, file sharing sites got taken down.

Still. Just because some technology or behavior is called a certain thing, the idea of censoring a common word without looking at the context is insane. This is one of my problems with censorship, especially when it is done by robots.
The word "tor****" has a freaking definition. "A strong and fast-moving stream of water or other liquid. A sudden, violent, and copious outpouring of (something, typically words or feelings)." It says nothing about behavior that might cut movie industry profits. Money, money, money.
I'm gonna stop before I go on a full rant. LOL
lol. Yeah neither of us should go on a rent here. I'm not in a bad mood so why ruin a good one.
But just one more thing... I think it's especially wrong when the word has an original meaning. It's sooo disrespectful to language to then ignore that and pretend like it no longer exists. Words stem from something. Often going way back in history.
Fyi, @GirlsAskGuys, it's weird. T-o-r-r-e-n-t. It's not a promotion of anything. Nor it is crude or demeaning. It would be more fair to remove qs asking about how to do it, rather than eliminate a perfectly good word from original use.
I think I seem simple, a lot of my views about things are weird so I tend to hid a lot of what and/or who I am. I believe in parts about spirits and I tend to dream a lot and probably don't have my head in reality. I have a plan for life and what I want to do and future goals I want to achieve, which people never expect from me. I am a complete pushover until something happens to the people I love and then I turn into a hard ass and stand up for them get into fights for them. Same if my friends feel uncomfortable around certain people I make it so all the attention is on me so they're free of it all, I'm extremely protective of the ones I love and will do anything to help them.
So maybe I'm not all that complex who knows, I just think we all have varying levels the more we get to know someone.
I would say fairly simple… I’m straight forward for the most part and I like straight forward as well.
An example would be philosophy… I can never discuss philosophy, it just doesn’t make sense to me and I can’t comprehend it because a lot of it could be based on speculations. I need solid facts, proven facts, to keep it simple lol
ohh okay hahah, that’s interesting I’m actually not that familiar with it
lol yes… to be completely honest, it was due to lack of creativity, so I chose my favorite color (black) and combined that with something else I like, cupcakes!!😋
Ah I see. Most people don't like black food, for obvious reasons. Ever heard of Korean black eggs as an appetizer? They're buried and rotten. People have some strange ideas about what to eat.
Well then speaking of black...
How do you feel about wearing all-black outfits? ↗
yes I’ve heard of those, I’ve seen pictures of it and I’ve seen videos of people eating it hahaha
I’m not sure if I’d be down to try it, it all depends on the smell… if it’s stinky then I know I won’t be able to try, otherwise I’m pretty open with trying new foods!😋😋
And yes, I LOVE all black outfits, and most of the clothes I own are actually black hahaha
have you tried the egg?
Me too, I love black. Never tired of it. Sometimes I realize how someone else never wears is, and it seems so odd to me. But it's also cultural, generational; not just personality, preference. It's interesting to me, the why.
Yes I have. I wasn't told what it was. It was just served to me. It looked odd, but I don't remember a smell, and yes, like you, if something smells bad I definitely won't eat it. I have a strong sense of smell and I smell all food before I eat. It tells me, most times, what it is going to taste like.
The egg was not terrible. I ate the whole thing. After, they told me what it was. One person even said, "Wow, I can't believe you ate that." ha ha
It wasn't tasty enough to eat again, though.
oh wow that’s interesting… I had the impression that it was all just about preferences, cause I could never do any bright flashy colors so I assumed it’s all based on personal preferences simply because you choose it based on what you like hahaha
I actually am very fascinated with cultural foods… way more than the “modern and creative” foods there are nowadays so I’m intrigued about that egg now hahaha, especially now that you said that wasn’t any off putting smell…
Hey check this out. I do kind of relate to this guy. Have you have of Karl Pilkington? His best friend Ricky Gervais made a very unorthodox travel show out of forcing Karl to travel and put him in all sorts of challenging, uncomfortable, situations. It was like torturing him for TV.

It was called An Idiot Abroad, if you interested.

ooh interesting!! I have not heard of him actually but I’ll definitely check it out, it sounds like a fun show to watch😆
Yeah I really enjoyed it. So did my husband.
It's great for people who like the idea of travelling but can't get out there.
And you also laugh a lot. Poor guy. I like Karl, not Ricky. Though you also learn how to be a good sport, and that complaining is kind of annoying to others.
I will definitely check it out, and let you know who my favorite was!😆😆

I'm pretty complex really, I'm actually a very deep person and a little spiritual, not in a religious way though. I have complex views on life and humanity. My likes are varied and I'm into a lot of different things. I spread myself around a lot and I'm not easy to read, but I am very open if you take the time to get to know me. I love my friends and will do anything for them, but hate my family and still do lots of things for them. When I love, I love with all of my heart and give myself over completely, but cross me and you will feel all of my hate.
Complex. Definitely.
Though I find it impossible to explain why. (Ha ha.) It's a massive, broad, q, I think. I try to answer my own when I ask them, but sometimes I can't. (But many people don't here, so I don't feel all that bad.)
If someone narrows things down to a specific context, I'm more likely to have a comment or answer. I like details, and specificity.
I can say that I need a lot of mental stimulation and get bored easily. I tend to think (or write, or communicate with others, etc.) until I am too exhausted to think anymore. If I am doing menial tasks, I will keep thinking. So I like things that keep my attention and curiosity.
Good one! Sounds like me as well. Aries?
I'm an approaching 50 survivor of four cardiac arrests during a 3 month coma caused by a global pandemic that also cost me my right leg and 50% of my kidney function. And that's before I mention Attention Deficit Disorder, OCD (the actual disori not what people think it is), PTSD caused by my brother's death and being bullied psychologically by people who used it to attack me.
Actually, given my biography I'm remarkably straightforward...
It could mean a lot of things... But I get told that very often "Oh you're such a complex person!"What I think they mean is that I cannot be easily pleased and I tend to say or do things that other people don't. You might say now "Well, we all are different" but complex people are even more different. Also there is a difference between a "complex person" and a "complicated person". I think it'll be difficult for a complicated person to be happy. But if you just are a "complex person", be patient, and don't expect everybody to please you. And if you live with a complex person, get to know him/her very well, it's very important! That way they'll feel loved. This is a hard question to answer, but I hope this tiny bit of information helps you!
I think I’m fairly complex attempting to be fairly simple. There is some beauty in simplicity and being humble. I’m one of those Jack of all trades kind of guy in terms of hobbies, skills, experiences, knowledge, etc. i want to experience peace mentally more than anything ever in my life, that’s why I meditate so often and I usually have a relaxed and humble demeanor because it’s what I strive for.
Aww thanks 😊
I used to spend hours staring into the abyss.
Now I realize that ruminating alone in my room doesn't make me deep, it only makes me lonely.
When I feel these things, I call a friend, cook something nice, or read a book. And I'm much happier overall.
I think I am both. I am simple in the fact that my morals are out in the open, I'll answer ANY question asked by a girlfriend and my goals in life are not anything too crazy or ambitious. However, I am complicated because my life has been so traumatic and turbulent that some of my behaviors contradict each other and there are parts of my past I cannot remember because my subconscious has blocked them out for the sake of keeping me sane.
Sometimes I have hard time explaining myself. If it's because I'm complex or a simpleton, I don't know.
Probably unrelated.
Men are less language-oriented. And they haven't been brought up as much to express how they feel about things. They keep it internal, grit their way through, try to be self-reliant.
I find this with most men, personally (although particularly younger and introverted.) If they can talk enough to express some things to me, over time I can often eventually fill in the others for them, and then they feel I understand them, and can speak for them, articulate the feelings they couldn't quite wrap their minds around.
It's not uncommon at all.
That seems like an accurate observation. Aside from language I think plenty men express themselves better through other mediums. Ones like music or art, etc. If men are as visual as they're said to be then it makes sense to me.
I'm a bit of both, but it depends on the person I'm with and on my mood. For example, to my mother, I may be a simpleton sometimes, she'd be able to figure out what exactly is going on with me at times, and on others, I'm very complex, my mood swings get the best of me, and I mask my feelings sometimes. Usually, I speak my mind, but sometimes, I don't so as to not hurt others feelings. I think I can project myself in both ways- complicated and simple.
I’m equally both. The circumstances of my life made me complex but then again, who isn’t? I do aim and search for simplicity in everything though and I feel like deep down I’m very simple.
Complicated
I'm not easily predictable, therefore people who know me trust in results of my actions but have often lot objections about how I achieve these results. Maybe I have a communication issue but I'm capable to fill gaps which appear because I don't have lot of motivation to explain everything from the basics.
I a a complex person masquerading as a much more uncomplicated man.
I don't have a accurate idea on this question there are 2 sides in my view
Personally I think I am pretty simple
But lot of people have told me that I am very complicated
So I am not sure what exactly am I
Maybe I should ask a psychiatrist
It's a very simply complicated question.
The answer lies in "As Seen By Others".
It's how I am seen in whatvsituations and by whom.
I cannot judge myself on this criteria as o could be very simple in some tasks or situations and very complex or stubornnin certain situations
It has to be an opinion of others or it would be like checking your own test papers
I wish I was simple. I think simpler people are happier as they enjoy the little things and their mind isn’t constantly going round
I am a VERY complex person. My life is such a maze, I can't even keep up! And I'm me! 😂
I'm easily pleased, enjoy simpler things in life, fairly straight-forward type of a guy.
I'm a very complicated and complex person. But i promise for the right person they'll be richly rewarded with a deep thinker and big heart ^^
Simple to make happy, complex to understand.
Complex definitely. Just am. Too many emotions & thoughts
B. No one understands me. I don't understand me at times.
