How Do You See Yourself?

[Iceglow]

how others see me:

Strong open minded kind of guy lots of morals and honour. Can be a control freak but if you need something done then best to ask him. Trust worthy and full of advice if you need help talk to him wether your just venting or searching for advice. Average to above average physical looks with a strong sense of modesty. And most of all he is a survivor and pulls through no matter what.

As I see myself:

Pathetic hopless romantic, who could cry during the film pearl harbour, depressive taste in music, a total control freak trying always to lose control in some respects and keep control in others ~ looking for equilibrium. Way below average looks in a physical sense, struggling to deal with the problems in my own life let alone anyone elses. Only here cause he bloody failed in suicide, who is a survivor not by choice but by default. I also have a strong sense of honour and duty and therefore will keep my word to the best of my abilities

It's so very interesting to see the often sharp contrast between how we view ourselves and our perceptions of how others see us.

Perhaps, we're more critical of ourselves because we may not like these perceptions? Or perhaps, we are critical because we don't live up to them? Either way, it always seems that we have a less rosy-tinted view of ourselves than of how others might see us.

Take care all.

I'm content with the whole package. I think others are too. I'm a good kid.

[Yamaneko]

I rule. Everyone else sucks.

I agree with BoB this is too vague and hard for me to come up with an answer for.

[DeBlayde]

I see myself usually with the aid of a mirror.



I see all my flaws. and I admit that they appear bigger to me than they seem to appear to others. I see all the things I'd most like to change about myself but seem incapable of doing so. but (really good point) when I look at myself at the very least I am no longer nauseated like during Highschool. those cognitions took some work to undo, lemme tell ya. didn't need therapy either. goes to show what a natural counselor and psychologist I really am. heh heh.

anyways, I like me. There are imperfections, sure. but a blade of any pure metal is never as strong as an alloy. and everybody knows how I like swords.

I'm happy with who I am. I'm shy, quiet and introverted. I have a small group of friends, and we all care about each other very much. The problem is, a lot of people tend to confuse my shyness with other less attractive aspects of personality, such as haughtiness and pride. I've heard that some people see me as aloof or judgmental, which isn't the way I'd like to be seen.

However, my real friends know me to be a quiet, friendly and giving person who enjoys the company of others. If people want to jump to conclusions about me and label me as an overly proud and lofty figure, then that's their mistake. I'm happy with the way I am, and I don't intend to change.

I'd say I'm most like this. He said it good enough for me, and I don't wanna write it again.

I tend to be very critical of myself, so I probably have a much lower perception of myself than others do of me. I'd be interested to know what others truly think about me because I know that my self-image is really messed up.

How do you see yourself as a person? Are you happy with who you are?

I dont know. I just try to be happy with who I am.

How do you think OTHERS see you?

I dont care about that.

At the moment, I see myself in a very liminal stage of my life, and I'm not sure which way to go. In the past eight months I've screwed up alot, and I'm having to work very hard to keep things together right now. For the first time ever, I'm seriously shaken in my self confidence, which may not be such a bad thing. Overall, I'm happy with who I am, I'm just beginning to learn that I won't always be happy with the choices that I make.

Others see me as very powerful and afraid of weakness, which is true. Alot of people are recently seeing my failed attempts at keeping what bothers me at bay, but luckily enough they care for me and are helping me through. I don't necessarily like this, but I suppose I need it right now. Most people also see me as just a little crazy, I think. That may be true as well.
