How They See Me, How I See Myself
Do you see yourself as you really are or how others want you to be? This may seem like an unimportant question, but it’s actually ideal for reflecting on the differences in how we see ourselves and how others see us.
Once we decided to think about it, we realized that maybe other people don’t see us the way we see ourselves. For example, how you behave, what you demonstrate to them, will cause an image of you to be formed, and you may not agree with it.
All of this can positively or negatively influence our self-image. Imagine, for example, when you find yourself with a few extra pounds and others say you are fine. It’s a simple example that your perspective is not the same as other people’s, and this can have a big influence.

Many of us are full of complexes that keep us from enjoying ourselves. All of this stems from the fact that we show an image that we like to the rest of people.
We are continually thinking about which image to show others, how others will see us… What we don’t know is that people often don’t see us as we think or how we want them to see us.
Do you know what would be great? Start interacting with people around us and ask directly how they see us. This can help us understand how our point of view is not unique.
If you do, you’ll discover things that you certainly didn’t even think about. Anything you are told will help form a real picture of what you project to the rest of people. What will you find out about yourself?
Sometimes we let ourselves be too influenced by what we believe is expected of us. How do others want us to be? This can form an external image of us that we don’t feel identified with.
If we are with manipulative or aggressive people who judge us, we may end up showing an image that does not correspond to reality at all. Why is our pride abandoned? Are you becoming what others want you to be? Don’t let that happen.
how do you see yourself
How you see yourself will influence how others see you. If you have complexes, they will manifest and people will notice and know.
Anything: wanting to be someone you’re not, trying to please everyone, being yourself, not letting anything influence you, having personality, everything gets noticed! What should we consider when we reflect on our image? Two very important factors:
- What you think about yourself becomes reality, whether you like it or not. Everything that goes through your mind will manifest in some way, so think positive and leave the negative in a secluded place. Thinking positively about yourself will be very beneficial.
- Beauty is created inside. All good things, everything positive, has to come from you, not someone else. Why hide? Manifest your true self, for sometimes we want to be who we are not. Accept yourself, accept your beauty and manifest it.
Another important thing to consider is how we treat others. Everyone, absolutely everyone, will talk about you, will provide data about your personality.
Treating others well and being respectful will make others see you with positive eyes. It’s normal that one day we have a bad time, we are human! But how we treat others will influence your view of us.
Your perspective is not unique, and we see things not as they are, but as we are. If we are negative, we will see everything negative, and so will others, as negative people.
Take the quiz by asking how others see you! You can share what you discover with us. This little exercise, which costs nothing, will help you open your eyes and look at yourself from perspectives other than your own. What have you learned about yourself? Understand that your point of view is not the only real and true.
