Do you think other people see you the way you see yourself? Do you even want them to?

Ooh ooops. Thank you for not pointing out my typo on this. Corrected

@SooperSarah Among my greatest hopes is that you will someday see yourself the way we do. 🫂
@sarabee1995 you're gonna make me cry

I have been told by several people how they see me, blows me away actually as it’s so, so flattering.

@beermeplease Well, your profile name does conjure.... 😄

Most certainly not. I am generally quiet, calm, and kind.

Generally.

But:


And,

No, they don't see me as I see me... and I don't want them to. I have let a few people into how I see myself, how I was raised to see myself - and it hurts them to see.

So, it is better that they don't see.

Not at all. I usually see myself much more negatively.
Samek · 36-40, M
@CrazyMusicLover me too. :/
Selah ·
No one can see me like I see me bc no one knows me like I know me
Samek · 36-40, M
@Selah Well said.
@Selah true. People just assume they know what I am like
Those closest to me know how I see myself. They’ve been trying to convert me over to their vision for years. Just too stubborn for my own good.
@OlderSometimesWiser good. Be you.
@Bexsy Lol….. unfortunately mine is the negative vision.
@OlderSometimesWiser i can understand that. I guess mine is too. You're so straight forward i just assumed they wanted you less so, and that would be a pity

No. I don't think they ever do fully. Maybe some facets or traits, but otherwise there is a plethora of subjectivity, interpretation and perception that gets skewed.

Few know me well enough for me to care how they see me ...

I'm ok, not perfect and I know it .. no one else is either, and I know that too
Magenta · F
@NotMy1stRodeo Love this response.

Tbh, idk. I could be the worst in their pov.
Samek · 36-40, M
@mindstruggle I somehow doubt that, Froggie.
Samek · 36-40, M
I think people would like me more or less the same. I am not for everyone and I'm okay with that.
Oh no, I wouldn't wish that view on anyone 😅

Maybe when I reach financial freedom. 🤑

I don`t even know how I see myself.
Not at all.

There's only a few who truly know/understand me.
@V00doo same. Only a couple i think actually know me
@V00doo

Plastic bag and the otter among them?*


*joking... I saw an earlier comment you made somewhere else.
I don’t see myself unless I look in the mirror and the mirror is where we all scrub up well to impress ourselves, we don’t see how we move or act and we only see a second of facial expressions. We look different on photos and it’s often disappointing. If in fact lots of people like me in real life how they see me, then I don’t care.
I hope not.

How I see me. Suicidal, depressed, desperate.

How I want to be seen. Calm, cool and collected. Comfortable in my own skin.
PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F
Absolutely not. But that’s because they don’t have to hear my internal commentary 24/7. …Thankfully. I would never want multiple versions of me in different bodies in my life. Would honestly just be too much to keep smiling and probably why I quickly distance myself from anyone who resembles my inner demons.
Sapio · 51-55, M
No, only a few have. But no, I do not want them to.
Unsure - but - have you ever heard yourself on tape? Weird or what?
@rinkydinkydoink it's terrible 😵
@Bexsy

I know, eh :(
TrunkZ · 56-60, M
You mean... Allow peeks behind the mask? 😳😳

HumanEarth · F
I have no idea

I never gave it any thought about it, I always just did my own thing without a care in world.

You, Hooty, Prim, Jeep, Beerme, Like2drive, Handful, and many others that know me. Know I don't care what people think of me
SW-User
I always say no, they don't see me the same way. Glimpses of me but not everything. Ok by me that they don't.
BatmanIRL · T
I hope not cos I don’t enjoy what I see
JoyfulSilence · 51-55, M
Naked after a shower drying myself off while standing in front of a mirror?
