This subforum was empty, so I just figured I'd start up a thread talking about what roles you play in your life.
Who are you? In your groups at school, work, among friends, or whatever, what role do you play? And is it the role you want to be playing?
I'll start.
In my family, more often than not, I feel like I'm the family therapist. It seems like everybody comes to me with their problems. Most of the time, I don't have any great insights for them, just generic advice, but they keep coming back to me. I think it's because they think I'm a good listener, because I'm fairly polite about not interrupting and I pay attention fairly well.
I wish that they didn't think of me as this great listener, though, because the truth is, the more I hear about their problems, the less I care. I want to be the one seeking advice instead of the advice giver. Then again, maybe the people I get advice from feel the same way.
So, anyone else? What roles do you play in life, and how do you feel about yourself being cast in that role?

I am the helper. I try to fix everybody else's problems, and try to make life easier for them. It's hard, because often I ignore my own problems until they get too hard to handle. I'm trying to learn to think of myself a little more. I have friends who help me, but I know it's something I must do myself.
I also am the perfectionist. I need to do everything, and it all has to be perfect.
I am a lover. I love and accept everybody.
But, as much as this is me, helping others and caring for others and needing to be everything to everyone, I still feel as though I wear a mask. But, I suppose that is how most of us feel.

Im the foolish one. Im a book case of attention grabbing. I act out goofy silly and retarded trying to get people to notice me and give me attention. It bugs my family terribly and they have to put me on meds. I offten wait until I know everyones asleep so I can finaly cry without breaking the appearnce of highstrung and go lucky. My parents won't even belive me when I say im gay because I joke around so much.

I solemnly swear I am up to no good. heart
In my family...I'm just...I don't know. The one who tried really hard to
make mom happy but always fails, basically. I have no role here.
With my friends, they always come to me for advice, which I like. They
trust me and love me and we help each other. I'm the wise one.
heart Mischief managed.

That exactly like me except, the perfectionist part. I feel like I'm never showing my true self.

I can relate to all of y'all.
*I tend to want attention constantly, using my AD/HD to my advantage. Then I cry whenever I know nobody's around to hear it.
*I always try to fix everyone elses problems without paying attention to my own until they get out of hand; even then, my attention is directed to everyones problems. Which happened a year ago, when I was hospitalized twice; I was so busy trying to figure out my friends problems that my suicidal
*I can never talk to my parents because they just.... ugh. I don't even know why, but I wasn't raised as a, so to speak, "family lover". I mean, yeah if I had my own then that's a different story, but they sorta just... put their responsibility of me at my sister's feet so they could get their lives together. confused
Here's one thing you'll probably not relate to;
I love reviving the dead threads. *zap*

Who are you? In your groups at school, work, among friends, or whatever, what role do you play? And is it the role you want to be playing?
I'm the one who likes to be alone to sing her heart out. I'm, usually, the emo one or the goth one depending on my mood or background for the months or week or whatever. Some guys at my school are scared as all hell of me. I'm ok to be the emo one or the goth girl at my school because that's who I am inside. I'm not a poser who follows the latest trends ( i hate bitches like that ) and I'm defiantly not the chick who sits in the corner laughing with her friends or crying her eyes out everyday because I have no reason!! It makes me mad to see chicks at my school or are posing as one of the tu-tu , Tripp arm warmers, chains, and eyeliner wearing rockers! I just about jumped one chick cuz she threatened to kill us! My parents dont except me for who I am so they yell at me every chance they get.

Inn my family...i'm the insainly quiet one... evenn in school..i don't speak unless im asked a question..i really dont smile often.. and im usually out in my own world..i'm also the "artsy" one..i have notebooks full of sketches i drew,and im pretty patient with it..if i mess up,ill try and fix it until it looks like how i want it. its ALWAYS in pencil though.i don't add any colour to them for some reason :/ for me it gives them more character.Also the Sporty one..i've been in Lacrosse for like 8 years straight now..i dont like bragging about myself. im usually the one to put myself down. im kind of a deep thinker too..i have notebooks full of poems i've written. (free Verse...i kind of dont really like the rhyming ones.) i absalutly HATE labels..those are for soup cans (: . to me, every smile hides something.i like my own space at school, instead of being in this huge group circle outside at lunch with all these "popular" friends, i'd be somewhere distanced from everything, sitting on the ground listening to my ipod. i'm really into Photography, but i need a new somwhat Decent Camra :/ . i can be to myself sometimes , or completley insaine. burst out laughing, or burst out into tears leaving people questioning eaither way.

In my family I'm the "failure/burden/scapegoat". When something goes wrong, it's always my fault. To my parents, I'm always the cause of the problem, always that child they have to deal with.
At school, I'm mostly the "quiet" or the really "sad" looking one. Cause I don't smile a lot, and I'm not outgoing, so I tend to scare people off. It's depressing that people can't seem past my facade. In my mind, I actualy have a lot of things to say. I think a lot-usually about deep philosophical questions, or planning out another plot to write.

School::: at school the social group i would be in the "gang" i guess. i hang out with my BF and his friends because every other group as kicked me out. in the group i would be known as the "tough one" or the "one you can depend on" cause i listen well and i coul kick anyones a** if needed to.
Home::: the outcast. my family has pretty much rejected me. i dont feel safe there at all.
