People dont often describe me very much. Perhaps i dont give them the chance to?
My dad once told me "you always look angry" but he always say "why do like being mysterious?"
i have came to the conclusion is this whole "when people describe you" is simply the projection of their own.

When you see everyone as grumpy and angry. You are grumpy and angry.
If you think everyone lies. You are a liar.. and so on.

So this whole "people call me mysterious" or what ever is just like the zodiacs for me. Funny to know, brush it off and move on.

I have to agree that most people do not really "describe" me as anything that I know of. At my job, I am told that I work well and have a pleasant demeanor. But, I work a pretty solitary job so there are not a lot of people to judge me - most of them just see my written finished products.

I have had a number of people tell me that I have a great ability to "go with the flow" and adapt to situations, which really just means that I do not freak out at the slightest stressful provocation.

Every once in a while I get the "[y]ou are so quiet" or "[y]ou don't say much, do you?" comments, but those have become less common as I've gotten older. Adults (30+) don't generally care how much you say because they all have their own issues to worry about.

But nobody says I am "boring" or "mysterious" or whatever because they don't really know me. The world is not like movies where people sit around having in-depth conversations about mysterious quiet people - those people are just ignored in real life.

I've gotten a few... 'an odd bird,' 'selfish,' 'aloof,' 'antisocial,' 'a smart cookie,' etc. I unfortunately got into a job as a bus driver, and have been interacting with people on a regular basis, so now I have a lot of lovely titles. I can only describe the job as hell on Earth.

They describe me as a gypsy angel with a heart like a dried sea.
