Know Me · A closer look

Beyond the Chill Guy

Most people see someone who laughs, jokes and keeps things easy. There is a quieter version behind that too.

01

What people see

Chill, easygoing and laughing often. I usually like making other people laugh too; humor is one of the ways I connect.

02

The routine in my head

Dance is another way I enjoy expressing myself. I’ve given a few performances in school and college, so this part of me has had its moments in front of an audience.

A song often sets a whole routine running in my mind: steps, movements and a performance only I can see. Those imagined routines haven’t made it into real life. For now, some of my dance floors exist entirely in my head.

03

What stays underneath

I overthink more than people expect. I am most sensitive around the people I am close to, because those relationships carry more weight for me.

04

Connection

Expressive eye contact and someone being present with me mean more than a formal gesture. I notice the small signals that tell me a conversation matters to both of us.

05

Respect

Being ignored, dismissed or judged after opening up affects me more than a casual disagreement. Letting someone see more of me is something I take seriously.

The lighter version of me is real. So is the quieter one behind it.
