If someone really understood your essence, how would they describe you?

(Edit: I mean at the relative level, it's meant as a question to help see each other's deeper feelings about themselves to be better able to connect)

Purpose.

How is this question different from the old “who are you?” 
 

Like how can you answer that without years of experience, experimentation and introspection? 

[Yarco]

A ball of empathy, wrapped in a ball of rage, wrapped in a ball of steel that prevents most people from seeing either of the former. Peppered with delusions and misconceptions throughout all layers.

If you want to go less abstract than that, uh... enterprising, growth-motivated, and mercantile in nature.

Make big number go up = happy. Whatever big number happens to be at the time. Money, audience size, etc.

For most easily accessible understanding, just INTJ I guess.

The better question is DO YOU know how to describe your essence?

I would no longer have an essence.

If we're talking about in the relative then something like.. Lover, Misfit, Warrior.

Important distinction. On the absolute your/my/our perfect description is infinity. Interesting to see how infinite identity breaks down into concepts like

Through the finite we know the infinite. : )

I should have provided better context. Yes, it's meant more so at a relative human level, as a simple question to try to get to know and connect with someone better. Although I totally get why you actualizer fuckers would take it as an opportunity to inquire into the deepest, and I love you for that!

Beautiful answers already, they really are opening up to me who the unique person is behind the username! ❤️

On a relative level probably selfish lol

 

[Ulax]

I would say:

Curiosity · Compassion · Clarity · Connectedness · Creativity · Courage · Confidence · Calm

Experiencing

here's the thing, no one can know another ... who even knows themselves?

to know yourself only makes sense comparing yourself to others, for example i am more kind than x but i am less kind than y

so the question would need lots of qualifying to be remotely interesting
