My name is Charisse. I'm an optimistic and contradictory misanthrope.
I take things too seriously, or perhaps not seriously enough.
Either way, I'm the kind who gets lost in thought over the kinds of things others don't seem to care about, and I find myself drawn to very unusual and 'unique' ideas, concepts and interests.
I'm not as confident as I should be, and that gets in the way of a lot of things unfortunately. I believe in not speaking unless I have a firm grasp on the topic at hand or unless spoken to, which essentially makes me that person who tends to listen more than he speaks.
I really love learning, and take the opportunity to educate myself on anything that sparks my interest. I like learning about people, too; I'm much friendlier than I appear, but people perceive me as callous and hostile because I stick by my guns when I feel I've been wronged. In reality, I'm a very loyal and caring friend with a genuine interest in getting to know new people, as well as new things.
