I love this topic! It is amazing how different we see ourselves, from what others see us as, and, from what Life itself sees us as. And the important question is, what does it all mean?

I would say that becoming more self aware is one of the basic keys to happiness and success. We, human beings, are very multi layered. Someone can defend themselves by being tough but on the inside feel scared and hurt, therefore, not appearing to be sensitive. As we integrate this false-descended self, we grow and can be more authentic in what we present to the world. Therefore what we feel on the inside and what people perceive on the outside become more congruent.

It is true, many people, (including myself) think themselves to be honest, righteous and fair. It may or may not be true. But they truly believe it. Only person can change is themselves so I do not do much or say anything (as it is useless) but I try to see similar thing in me and I find myself doing similar thoughts on other self quality.

Thanks to you article, I am reminding me see inwards.

Feedback is really important. No matter how much you think you know yourself, its always best to have an outside opinion. Nice post!

I would encourage any person out there to get some honest, specific feedback from other people (at least 10 of them) about the way they see them. I use this exercise often with my clients and I think it’s a very good way to understand how you project yourself externally. Then, you can use this understanding to become more authentic, do some effective personal branding or improve yourself.
