what I am about

質問

I have been seeing a woman who is 21 years younger than I am. She says she loves me, but I am hesitant because of our age difference.

We have known each other for years. She had a crush on me when she was 16, but I was married at the time, and she was too young. We made love a couple of times when she was in her 20s because I was divorced and she was single.

Now it's 10 years later. I'm in my late 50s; she's in her 30s. We are both single, and she wants to take care of me for the rest of my life.

She brings me lunch every once in a while, which I am amazed at because it's a long drive from where she lives. I worry about what other people will think, but she doesn't care and says she wants to love me and care for me because she knows what I am about.

what I am aboutはどのような意味でしょうか？what I amとどう違うのでしょうか？よろしくお願いします

she knows what I am about
彼女は、私のこれまでの経歴や人となりなどの何かしらの要素について知っている。
she knows what I am
彼女は、特に今現在の私がどんなふうか知っている。

説明しにくいですが前者はバックグラウンドなどの要素も含めた私について、後者は単に性格など私自身がどんな人かを知っている、というような感じかと。

＞what I am aboutはどのような意味でしょうか？
⇒「私がおよそ／だいたいどんな人（男）であるか」といったニュアンスでしょう。

＞what I amとどう違うのでしょうか？
⇒「およそ／だいたい」が抜けるだけです：「私がどんな人（男）であるか」。
