"You never know just how you look through other people's eyes." The Butthole Surfers

Answer 1

Reminds me of Robert Burns' poem -- To a Louse

O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!

Answer 2

Yes - i am aware but again, what can one do with people who are think like this [ just ignore them, as much as u can].
You never get anything good from people anyway, the hatred and envy has captured humans heart completely so why shall i waste my time and think of them - when i know wht they are thinking of when they look at me or when i leave.
It is a sense you feel when ur around good and bad people. It is the way that they treat or the conversation with eyes that explains it all.

I get to percieve people mainly through their actions or by asking them something and seeing their reactions towards it.

Answer 3

As human's we have an awareness of mind - an awareness of the person we are on the inside. Other people may not see us the way we see ourselves. Others mostly see us through social conditioning. It's always good to socialize, travel and get to know a wide variety of people. This way a person has a broader outlook on people and life.

Answer 4

I have never had anyone quote the Butthole Surfers before.

I have a partial picture, but not a complete one, as I do have to work with these poeple.

Answer 5

In a sense no we can never see ourselves...not even in the mirror.
We are only aware of how we look by getting feedback from others. If this is negative, we feel embarrassed, depressed, or ugly. Then we will try to either get positive results by changing appearance...
In a deeper way, the only way one can actually see oneself, is by polling society constantly and gaining reactions...so others approval or disapproval toward us by smile, frown, penalty, reward....makes us at least catch a glimpse of who that person really is in the mirror....humans cannot gain identity, unless they are in a group, or have contact with others.

SO....IF WE REALLY CAN'T PERCEIVE OURSELVES WITHOUT OTHERS...CAN WE EVER KNOW WHO WE REALLY ARE?

Answer 6

I will never know exactly what someone else is thinking because I'm not in their brain. I really don't care much though. I live my life doing what I think is right and that is what matters. If I worried about what everyone else is thinking I would be paralyzed.

Answer 7

Yes, I'm all too well aware of what people think of me (and, oh how I wish I weren't).

Here's what I think they think: They think I'm witty, charming and a royal pain in the ***. They think I can be a snobby intellectual one day, and a goofball the next. They think I'm, at times, a space cadet and at other times, surprisingly perceptive.

Most people like me. The ones who don't, tend to fear me.

Answer 8

i am aware but i just try to be who i am and that's what people love about other people the best

Answer 9

well the way others treat me gives me a pretty good idea of what they think of me, not to the exact thought but in general

Answer 10

i am aware of how other people see as and i dont care im how i want to be
