do u ever wonder abt urself from an external pov??? bc like. everyone is p complicated and contradictory on the inside, but other ppl get a very simplified version of who u r based on ur interactions w them or what they see u doin
like if i was a cartoon character, what archetype would i be? if i was a design, if i was a DESIGNED person, what parts of me would be the most cohesive/emphasized, and which less significant traits would not be perceived at all???? its just bonkers to think abt i guess
Don’t dismiss this though! I spent some time in grad school going around asking friends, classmates and professors I liked about this and it actually really made an positive impact on my life and self-perception.
It’s not as weird a question as you’d think to ask, “How do I come off to you?” or “How do I present myself?” EVERYBODY wonders, and it’s even a really relevant question for a professional trying to work on stuff like job interviews. (One of my professors even complimented me for asking it.)
It honestly feels great to that information and get a better handle on your presence in the world. Also it’s a nice pick-me-up because I can pretty much guarantee that whomever you are, you do better than you think you do.
