do you think people see you as you see yourself?

Question

...please explain why you say yes or no or something.

ps- this is kind of like a poll i guess, and i like to here what other people think about things. see the different side of things, ya know?

to coloryst- you are not ugly. everything is beautiful, inside, and outside. it's all on perspective. some poeple just pass judgement on people instead of seeing the beauty that is right in front of them.

Answer 1

Yes...but only what you allow them to see,
NO.... because WE only know our TRUE selves!

Answer 2

there is no possible way for everyone (or anyone else, really) to see us exactly the way we do. Those that we spend a lot of time with (maybe our spouse), will evenually come close, if we are verbally inclined people, perhaps. But that's part of how life is, and I think it's best if we are all different.

Btw, coloryst, you are not ugly at all - quite attractive, in fact. It's funny how we can have these different views, because we all see through our own lenses of our own world and experience.

Answer 3

Yes, in an interesting way. Sometimes i see myself as a business woman: confident, eager, invincable, determined, motivated, beautiful. Then others i see myself as one of the ugliest, weakest, untalented people i know. I guess there will always be the grounp up people that like me which agree with my positive image. Then the group of others that don't which agree with my negative image. I think no matter how you think of yourself (good or bad), there will always be other people that see the same thing. So i say to believe in the good and best of you, because there are others that do (or will) too.

Answer 4

No, I see myself somewhat thinner (except when confronted by the realities of the department store dressing room mirrors, especially in bathing suit season). I also am more reserved with my husband's family because they debate too ferociously. I know my beliefs, and I don't need to have my blood pressure go up trying to defend them. I like to talk about my thoughts with other like-minded people. People often remark to me that they think I look so innocent and reserved. When they know me better, they are often surprised by things I think about or things I've done. I have an "every woman" face. I'm often told I look familiar, even by women--so I know it must be that my features are regular or common. Sometimes I think this would have helped me in a career as private detective. I also dress pretty conservatively. I don't like to show too much decolletage. That's for my husband.

Answer 5

I would say "no" for the case of most people in two different ways. 1) Some people tend to see themselves as less than others due to low self esteem, self destructive behavior, or a negative self fullfiling prophecy from external and internal sources. 2) Some people tend to see themsleves as better than others due to self serving bias, and the drive to survive. People tend to want to believe they are better than average, and some take it too far into over confidence. I don't think anybody can really see them selves as they really are until they have a good balance of both sides.

Answer 6

I think no one can ever see a person as they see themselves. I have known myself and my deepest inner thoughts since birth. I know all the mean and nice things anyone has ever said about me or to me...no one else could ever be as biased in their opinion as I am. I even think I'm ugly...flat out I don't like the way I look and I used to be afraid people wouldn't want to talk to me because I was so ugly. Do you think I'm ugly? I hope that helped some. Best wishes

Answer 7

If you're wondering, try looking at yourself through a "true mirror." By this, I mean a mirror that reflects your reflection so you see your physical self as others see it. You'll probably find you look QUITE different than you think you do (and that you prefer the way YOU see yourself). Kind of gives you perspective on the question...

Answer 8

No...I am a little quiet, so it takes me some time knowing someone before I truly open up to them. Most people do not have the patience or the will to reach that point with me. A shame for them because they are missing out big time.

Answer 9

Not all of the people,only your family,closefriends and co workers knows you as a person but only partial,because even if yourself you dont even know 100% because everyone of us is unpredictable!Sometimes we are asking why I did that,why I act like this,why I cant control myself!Man's life is so mysterious because we are not perfect and sometimes we don't know what we are doing!

Answer 10

No I see myself in a different light. I see myself with yellow light shining on my forehead, and a kind of blue or pastel light shining on my chin.. But if I were to ask someone about that, they would disagree.
Also they don't see me as nearly as handsome as I really am, etc. Does that answer your question? Are you taking a poll or what?

Answer 11

no.
people see us as we allow ourselves to be seen.there is a quote"the whole world is a stage"that fits it best.we let people see the parts of us that we feel they either want to see,or that we are comfortable letting them see.
we see ourselves as we are,because we know all the little dark deep secrets and feelings we harbor deep down inside.
an example of this would be:have you ever had to be polite to someone who inside you only wanted to smack up the side of the head ?
people see our outside,what we project for public consumption.
we see our insides,what we really are.
