How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you?
Interesting question, as the word ‘describe’ gives the writer the openess needed to make their own choices. Do you go for what a seeing person would see? Do you describe your personality, as that influences how you look? Or, do you describe what you think you look like, or even what you want to look like? This is the freedom or isolation that the internet gives one.
I think it also relies on context as well. The listener would need to have some context for people’s common phrases, such as ‘tall’. What does that mean, apart from a comparison of the people nearest to you or those you most often associate with?
Me? I’d go for: tall & confused…
