When someone asks “Who are you?” are trying to familiarize themselves with you. It is easy to just go with the conventional pattern where you introduce yourself, say your name, and something they might be interested in knowing.
But then, we can go another route. Instead of doing the traditional form of introducing oneself, I am going to show other ways to reply to “Who are you?”
I have divided the responses into four categories including normal, funny, witty, and flirty responses. Let’s get to it.
Perfect Replies to “Who Are You?”
Let’s start with replies that can be used in all cases. If you do not want to tilt too far on any side of an extreme, these are responses to try:
- I am just like you, trying to do well for myself and my family
- I am quite a diversified individual, a jack of all trades if you think about it in the light of character
- I am the perfect definition of a goal-getter who stops at nothing until the job is done
- I am a version of myself that might be flawed but is consciously working towards being better
- The first and only me there is and there ever will be. You are privileged
You should know when to use these responses and I have explained how they work so that you can decide on how to use them from the inspiration behind each suggestion.
I Am Just Like You, Trying To Do Well For Myself And My Family
When you meet someone and you have an idea who they are or what they are about and it resonates with being hard working or trying to make ends meet as legally as possible, you can always say “I am just like you, trying to do well for myself and my family,” when you are asked who you are.
Stating that you are like them builds an immediate sense of familiarity and connection that can be a good foundation for deeper conversations.
I Am Quite A Diversified Individual, A Jack Of All Trades If You Think About It In The Light Of Character
You can also say “I am quite a diversified individual, a jack of all trades if you think about it in the light of character” in response to “Who are you?”
If you are the kind of person who can be an introvert and extrovert almost at the same time, then you might find this reply suited for the question.
When you can be anything depending on the scenario or the way you are treated, try using this response.
I Am The Perfect Definition Of A Goal Getter Who Stops At Nothing Until The Job Is Done
In a formal setting, maybe at a job interview, when someone asks who you are, you can say “I am the perfect definition of a goal-getter who stops at nothing until the job is done.”
It does not just apply in formal settings alone as you can clearly see from the way it is structured, it will come in handy when you want to let the person asking understand that you are a serious-minded person who takes whatever they do seriously.
I Am A Version Of Myself That Might Be Flawed But Is Consciously Working Towards Being Better
No one is perfect, we get that. One way we can make people willing to look over our imperfections especially when we are meeting them for the first time is to say “I am a version of myself that might be flawed but is consciously working towards being better.”
This points to the fact that you do not claim to be good enough but then you are on track to becoming a better version of yourself. It is something anyone would admire.
The First And Only Me There Is And There Ever Will Be. You Are Privileged
In a more relaxed scenario, when someone asks who you are, you can tell them “The first and only me there is and there ever will be. You are privileged.”
You might want to keep out the privileged part in some cases so that you don’t come off as someone who’s full of themselves.
A perfect scenario to use this response is when you are meeting a date or just gotta make a new friend.
Funny Replies For “Who Are You?”
We can sprinkle be jocular with our responses to the question. These are some ideas to try:
- Just a random girlie who loves to mess things up when I feel like
- We met in your dreams and I do not appreciate introducing myself again
- I am what you get when Spongebob lives on land
- The end of boredom in your life
- The start of the fun you have always hoped for but never gotten
Just A Random Girlie Who Loves To Mess Things Up When I Feel Like
As a lady, everyone’s going to excuse you for “just being a girl.” One way to convey that you are a girl and love to do girly stuff when you are answering this question is to say “Just a random girlie who loves to mess things up when I feel like it.”
This is intended to show that you are a fun-loving individual, ready to explore things.
We Met In Your Dreams And I Do Not Appreciate Introducing Myself Again
Sounds mystical with this response and it will set the stage for some laughable moments. They will probably be interested in knowing what the meeting was like and how it went.
You should have good story telling ideas to keep them hooked as to what the encounter in the dream was about.
I Am What You Get When Spongebob Lives On Land
You can crack the person up when you say that “I am what you get when Spongebob lives on land” in reply to their question.
Spongebob is a cartoon character that lives in a pineapple under the sea. He is a very hilarious person. So, if you say you are Spongebob living on land, they will get the message that you are a funny person.
The End Of Boredom In Your Life
Still on the idea of being a funny person, you can say you are the end of boredom in their life. When you are sure they have lived a boring life or they aren’t the fun, outgoing type, this reply is going to make a unique difference in your life with the person.
The Start Of The Fun You Have Always Hoped For But Never Gotten
You are going to get more out of your conversation with the person with a funny statement like “The start of the fun you have always hoped for but never gotten.”
One thing I am sure this response will do is to get them interested in wanting to talk to you. It will make them wonder what it is about you that makes you so sure you will be the start of the fun they hoped for.
Witty Ways to Reply to “Who Are You?”
Another area we can explore to source answers from is being witty and these are slime ideas to try:
- If I was given a dollar for everytime I had an answer to that question, I might have been a billionaire by now
- Someone who’s about to make your day the most memorable one yet
- I am the perfect blend of Sherlock Holmes and a sloth
- Someone you should be running away from
- A proud member of the sworn brotherhood of hidden identities
If I Was Given A Dollar For every time I Had an Answer To That Question, I Might Have Been A Billionaire By Now
There is no way you wouldn’t have heard this question so many times. Since this will be the case, an answer like this is going to crack them up.
It is also a good way to avoid the question if you are not in the mood to give an answer. Ladies will find that these suggestions will work well for them.
Someone Who’s About To Make Your Day The Most Memorable One Yet
You can use “Someone who’s about to make your day the most memorable one yet” if you are sure that what you want to do for and with them would make their day.
It doesn’t matter if you have something planned or not. Their openness to your ideas might give you the inspiration to be that for them.
I Am The Perfect Blend Of Sherlock Holmes And A Sloth
Sherlock Holmes is considered the greatest detective of all time with his incredible deductions on crime scenes. Imagine a sloth as Sherlock Holmes, they might make brilliant conclusions or take innovative steps a little too late.
If you are one heck of a procrastinator, this is a response to use.
Someone You Should Be Running Away From
When you meet someone and they seem to be interested in you, you can use “Someone you should be running away from” to act like you are trying to ward off.
The funny part about this is 99% of the time, when we are told to stay away from someone, we become interested in getting to know them.
A Proud Member Of The Sworn Brotherhood Of Hidden Identities
You can use this response to let them know that you are not about to disclose your identity to them. It is a polite way to deflect from answering the question. Belonging to the sworn brotherhood of hidden identities suggests you have sworn to keep information about who you are out of the public domain.
If you are a lady, instead of brotherhood, you can say sisterhood.
Flirty Responses to “Who Are You?”
The last category to consider will be flirty. When you are having a conversation with someone you want to flirt with, use these recommendations:
- You should think of me as the girl you always dreamed of having
- What’s your wildest guess? You might just be right
- Let’s just say that it depends on whatever you want me to be
- Let’s just say a tiny bit of everything that you desire
- You should stick around to find out cause the answer is not far-fetched
You Should Think Of Me As The Girl You Always Dreamed Of Having
Ladies can tell men that they meet that they are the girl they’ve always dreamed of having. So, when the next dude asks you who you are, you can tell them you are the girl of their dreams.
What’s Your Wildest Guess? You Might Just Be Right
Giving them something to think about and watching how wild they go is another interesting way to answer their question.
If you observe that they are not moving in the direction of being flirty, chances are they do not want to be flirty.
Let’s Just Say That It Depends On Whatever You Want Me To Be
Another very suggestive statement to make when someone asks you who you are is “Let’s just say that it depends on whatever you want me to be.”
Oh, this will give them a lot of ideas about what you are. In this context, everyone would want to provide ideas about what they want someone to be.
Let’s Just Say A Tiny Bit Of Everything That You Desire
You can make anyone go wild with the statement, “Let’s just say a tiny bit of everything that you desire.”
They might want to engage you to find out what you think it is that they desire. You should flip the question on them, asking them what it is they desire. Your claim should be that you are able to be whatever they desire if they can put a name to it.
You Should Stick Around To Find Out Cause The Answer Is Not Far-Fetched
Since this could be someone you just met, “You should stick around to find out cause the answer is not far-fetched,” is a good example of a flirty remark to use in response to “Who are you?”
It will pique their interest and make them want to stay around you for as long as it takes to find out who you are. This response will work like magic especially if this person is interested in being friends after all.
Final Thoughts
These suggestions are going to help you reply to anyone who asks you “Who are you?” I have ensured they are carefully divided so that you can find responses for a range of contexts.
