Annie the Chameleon

2:11 pm Me, Myself and I -- A Sum Total of One, Uncategorized

If you do not know me by now I am Annie. I have not done my profile because I don’t know what I want to say about myself. In one sense I am a peculiar kind of chameleon in basic shades of flesh. Even when in my manic episodes I don’t become colorful I simply change flesh tones faster. I suppose that makes me sound ordinary and in some ways I am Being a chameleon takes on a special meaning when you live “down home”, with ordinary folks. I live in a rural area in the middle of Oklahoma where the red dirt can be seen for miles and I am no where near Madagascar, the home of other chameleons I no longer have a need to change into bright colors but my ability to blend into the woodwork is helpful at times. I can hide from the noise and chatter of more than a few people. When I am afraid of depression creeping in I can change colors and attract someone to engage in conversation.My need to use the chameleon part of me has changed since I live in the country.I have a long history of being a chameleon and it has served me well. I need it less and my ability to be casual and comfortable with people is a welcome gift.I will ponder what to put in my profile. Ponder is a popular word in Oklahoma. To ponder is similar to contemplation but with less intensity.

    Hi Annie. I met you at bipolar connect. I think I’m a chamelion too. I put a big smile on my face when I’m depressed to attract people. And I blend into the woodwork when there’s too many people around talking at once. I like this way of seeing myself as a chamelion. Thanks for the new perspective. Ruth.

    Hi, Ruth
    Your perspective was interesting, I am glad you can put on a big smile when you are depressed. I am overwhelmed when there are too many people and cn not stay in the room. Your way of seeing your self as a chameleon is very optimistic.Keep up the good work!
    Thanks for the comments. Annie
