Hi. I was wondering how YoYo people see themselfs.

If you would have to describe yourself in a social-stereotype, what would you be?

(whatever. Does not need to be one of the mentioned above.)

I would go with “artist” or “wierdo”.

I don’t see myself as anything aside from an amorphous human figure in the distance, hunched over in agony, fists balled in rage, screaming into the void: “ANARCHY!!!” Beavis style.

The figure then sits with a cup of tea and reads 3/4 of a book, only to let dyslexia make reading too annoying to continue doing. Said figure then yo-yos for a half hour to decompress. The figure is satiated and slumbers, preparing for another full day of hunching and screaming.

Somewhat closeted dork. I’m kind of shy about playing in public because I still need to practice

I think it is quite bad to still close themselves in a “personality group”, ok this is a game but an individual keep changing continuosly and usually everyone go through a personal growth to some extend, I would say to just don’t consider yourself anything, do your things and see where them bring you.

Other than this, I will never consider someone a “weirdo”, to whatever the person like or enjoy to do, for that person is perfectly fine and “normal”, we should all open our mind to what it is different and start to understand each other and maybe get into more things to see different shades of the world.

I have been a punk, I have been a nerd, I have been a skater, I have been a juggler, I have been a classical musician etc…etc… just do not close yourself on a label mate

Guess what, I’m basically the same. I only use Instagram to post yoyo stuff, my personal social accounts have absolutely nothing. Don’t really talk to real humans either

Well, its about self ID, so pretty much anything goes. It’s not really about an acurate picture more about how people feel right now.

It’s quite a cool company we have here. 😄

Absolutly. Hear you. Agree.

It’s more a fun little thing. Humans like to catagorize, for good or worse.  
I would never expect someone to be what they say here at a later point. They could be, but don’t have to.

Your statement just reminded me of Diogenes, who, as it was later told, lived naked in a big barrel with only a cup to drink from a fountain nearby. And as he once saw a child use their hands to drink water from said fountain, he tossed the cup aside and called himself a fool for being so spoiled.

So even he changed his person in an instant.

You being here shows that you are not silent and have a voice in the world. And I think nobody here will fault you for using that voice for YoYo 🙂
