How Does The World See You, And Is It A True Reflection Of Who You Really Are ?

 

[eastofeden]

I have no idea really and when I do see it..I make sure I flush it out of my psyche.....

I love the phrase "It is none of my business what you think of me". When someone asks me if I wanted to know what someone said about me...positive or negative...I would say no.

In general....I know I am seen as friendly and easy to approach. I get strangers coming to me and telling me their deepest secrets..out of the blue...my whole life..so I guess I have the vibe that allows people to do this. I also generally hear nice things but I get uncomfortable and quickly change the subject. I know some people hate me...and I am usually happy about it. I like it because I would worry if some of them liked me.

The real me...THREE people in my lifetime have been able to look inside me and see me who I really am...and I didn't help them at all...one of them is the guy I am with. I put up a ton of blocks so no one can touch that part of me..but I love it when someone figures it out and doesn't pay attention to the blocks.

The first depends on who is looking at me and the second isn't even really applicable due to the first bit. All people come with preconceptions and unless you explain in great detail, one can only guess on what those generalities mean - assuming they're visible at all, most of them aren't.

As a misfit, the "outsider".... not a fun guy as I don't drink or party.
Also as someone who is there when they need me.

I have come to accept the idea that I don't make "the cool guys list".

I don't know if the world ever sees us as we truly are.

 

[MakeDigitalLove]

I honestly don't really care as long as my boyfriend sees me for who I am.

To a friend, we can often do no wrong. To our enemies, we can do no right. It's similar to JUB.

I think I'm variously perceived as smart, funny, fat, generous, helpful, mean, lazy, a good cook, creative, a good conversationalist, a know-it-all, religious, and so on.

It depends on who is looking and what stands out to them.

It's the opposite for me. I feel like an outsider, but most people don't see me the same way. I feel like they see me as one of them, as a part of their world. Sometimes it's flattering.
Obviously I'm not a "cool guy" either, but then again, some people take me for one.

I don't know how other people see me, for I have never asked, nor am I interested to know.

Each of us wears a mask ensuring that the image we reveal to the world is what we want it to be.

Life is a masquerade, with our true self concealed behind a mask that we create day, by day.

I can say what I hope they see, what I think they see, but what they actually think about what they see I don't know. I guess some like it because they stick around and others didn't so they split....

Seems to me that Burns asked the same question:

O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us
To see oursels as others see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
And foolish notion.

 

[dereperez]

I really don't care how most people see me. The only people that matter are myself and the close people around me.

Who cares what the world thinks? As Bette Midler once said "fuck'em if they can't take a joke".

They tend to find me clever, but socially backward and innocent in a few ways. My intellect is overrated, probably because I'm so slow that my speech is often conspicuously rather deliberate (not to mention the RP), but that works for me. I've been surprised to find out that some people think I'm nice, but then I suppose that's a consequence of not getting involved in much interpersonal drama due to my lack of ability or interest.

What I find particularly interesting is that I've been told that I become "human" or "normal" when I'm drunk or having sex. I think latter demonstrates a way in which having sex with someone can be used gain favour; previously, I thought that was just quid pro quo. Although I doubt that I'll ever be able to use it manipulate others to mercenary ends. I'm not planning to turn up drunk to any job interviews or indeed to work on daily basis either.

I certainly believe that appearances count if you want or need something from other people and it goes without saying that everybody does, possibly besides a few hermits in countries with open and bountiful wilderness.

 

[GreyUnderscore]

I don't know. Really.

 

[medic1]

As i see the world, through jaded eyes, far too often.

 

[tarallucci]

I don't work much on my social reputation and I can't be an actor. As you may have noticed here I tend to give too much information, so in a way I think that everyone sees the real me. It's just that some people appreciate certain aspects of me and others don't, or that they get an idea of my person in different situations.

Strangers think I'm older. Close friends think I'm funny, lonely and nonconformist. Someone else thinks I'm a kind sould. My parents think I'm a good for nothing.

Kallipolis, Luigi Pirandello said "we are one, no one, and one hundred thousand".

He, and I agree on most matters, for ones mask is all that we wish the world to know, thereby relish not knowing.

Ha ha! Brilliant!

I've been told I can come accross as somewhat arrogant, but really, I'm very shy and quiet. I'm just misunderstood. ☺
