TV character you or others think you are most like

Trainspotter

While watching The Big Bang theory, my wife said that I was like a cross between Sheldon (from that programme) and Uncle Bryn (from Gavin and Stacey)

She also said that I was like Victor Meldrew from One Foot in the Grave and also a bit like Doc Martin.

So which characters from TV/films does anyone feel they share characteristics with?

Parents

  • O wad some Power the giftie gie us
    To see oursels as ithers see us!  (Robbie Burns, To a Louse)

    In starting this thread I thought it might be interesting to relate comments others have made about us, whether in ignorance or some attempt at humour, as to how we are perceived or how we perceive ourselves.

    I know it is very diificult for anyone, aspie or nt, to know how they come across to others.  And I find it interesting to get some sort of analogy through characters on tv or in films.

    I'm sure others have found themselves being a figure of fun by some sort of mimicry of their demeanour, their turn of phrase, their way of dress, their tics.  And the last person to become aware of these things is oneself.

    Some time ago colleagues at work had the idea of making an imaginary cast of "My Workplace - the television series".  And it was interesting to see who was chosen to be the actors or characters to perform the parts of colleagues at work.

      Being told we share characteristics with TV characters, could this help us to see ourselves as others see us?  How many of us when seeing ourselves on video see things we do but don't realise it.  Our voice sounds different, we don't look like we think we do, we make gestures we don't realse we make.  And yes, it is part of life's rich tapestry, each of us is different but however different we are we do share certain aspects in common with others. 

    As I always say, it takes Allsorts to make Bertie Bassett.
