Uday, Thanks for your comment, I agree, what is more though other people don’t see us as we “really are” either. Because we all have our own beliefs, values and perceptions we judge and make assumptions about others and hence see them differently. Two people could meet the same person and one might comment they were unfriendly and the other feel they were ok – both have had the same experience but have made different judgements. Now we do this with people we see of course and if we feel someone is friendly they look more attractive to us compared to someone who makes us feel uneasy.

This means of course that others don’t necessarily see us how we really are in reality because their vision or view of us is passed through their filters and we focus on specific attributes of the person and hence change how they look to us.

Mark,That’s very interesting observation.

It brings us to this question : “Can we ever see ourselves exactly the way others see us” Because,we have always seen ourselves either as a mental image or as a virtual reflection and not as a physical body unlike the way the world looks at us from the perspective of a physical body.
