Perception of Self and Others
How do I see myself? I am skilled at making other people happy and doing whatever I can do to make people around me happy. I am skilled at listening to people and their problems and also I am skilled at making new friends. I have the ability to make people around me feel comfortable and friendly and I also have the ability to make people laugh. I have the ability to resolve arguments easily. I know things about others that make them happy. I am competent at doing things that make people feel friendly around me. I am also competent at stopping fights and making people to stop hating each other. One part of my personality is that I never fight with others. I always swallow my anger whenever I am angry at someone instead of releasing my anger.

How do others see me? Other people believe that I am skilled at resolving issues. They feel friendly around me. Other people believe I have the ability to make anyone my friend. Other people believe I know things about their feelings and I can always make them feel happy and comfortable when they are around me. Other people believe that I am competent at stopping fights and making people to stop hating each other. One part of my personality is that other people believe that I am a super cool person and they always know that I will not get angry or fight with them no matter what happens.

From both the lists it is clear that how I see myself and how others see me are two very similar lists. To conclude, it is clear that I am good at making friends and at resolving issues that other people are facing either between themselves or with me. The only difference in the lists is that people thing I never get angry but in actual I do get angry but I never show my anger and always keep it inside me.

Who I am and how I know this? Well I am a genuinely nice person with whom everyone wants to hang out. I do not get angry at others and always try to make them smile. This trait has its advantages which are apparent but also has some

    The Way We See Me

    • 720 Words

    The way I see myself definitely varies from one degree to another. For instance, I am not at all tactful as I am imaginative. This is another reason why I perceive myself as being slightly quiet. I chose these answers because I know that I like to think a lot to myself and am more observant of others around me than I am of myself. Since I am rather quiet, I haven’t really practiced my communication skills as much as I’d like and thus why I am not very tactful. On a more positive note, I do see myself as extremely imaginative and friendly. I chose to rank myself high on these two because I always try to treat others the way I would want to be treated and was always told that I was extremely curious, imaginative, and artistic as a child. I believe I still am.…

    Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something else is a great accomplishment”. A question such as “who am I”? Really gives me the opportunity to differentiate and express who I really am and who I can be. I am not a complex person who thinks the world is against me, nor am I overly sophisticated “know-it-all” who doesn't take time to pay attention to my surroundings. I can't say that I am like every other person because there are certain things that make me a unique individual. What I can say is that I am progressing towards a brighter future.…

    When most people look at me, they don’t always see me. They see a girl. They see a quiet girl who is a big reader. They see a girl who is a hard worker and does well in school. They see the sister of three younger brothers. It’s true. I’m all of these things. I am also much, much more. I am mature in certain matters, and childish in others. I change my personality according to my surroundings, and do not show the world the real me. There are even some things that my family does not know about the real me.…

    The Clusters Psy/230

    I am very outgoing and sometimes consider myself to be very talkative, even when people tell me to be quiet I cannot help it. That is just the type of person I am. I like to be heard even if I am the only person listening to myself my brain is always running and developing new thoughts and ideas to discuss with other people. Whenever I am with my friends they are constantly telling me to be quiet because I never stop talking I just do not like it to be quiet. I feel that I am the life of the party I also do this at work with my co-workers I just like to talk I feel I have a mouth to express myself and be heard. Openness to experience I feel is another that describes me well because along with always thinking and talking I an very curious to know a little about everything. I feel that I can learn about different things forever, and that I can always learn how to do something I already know a different more efficient way. Curiosity never hurt anyone I believe the world is full of many mysteries and we must unlock and discover them to learn what they are. I also find myself building thing without the instructions not because I do not need them, but because I am curious to see if I can create what I am building without them. Even if I do not know something on a subject I will sometimes act as if I do because I want to see how gullible people are, and I also know many facts about everything so it is easy to believe me. Using agreeableness I would consider myself to be ruthless and soft-hearted why, because I tend to be easygoing and am kind to people I know, but if I do not know you I am not going to be nice to you. Do not get me wrong though even with people I know I can turn on if they give me a good cause to snap on them. People who hitch for rides I…

    When I was in fifth grade, my class talked about lockdown procedures. I was shocked at how little our school could do to keep out intruders, but even more surprised that people involved in school shootings didn’t see the ways around the simple defences. My mind instantly came up with limitless ways someone harmful could get into my school. Of course, I will never do something like a shooting, but it was easy to see ways someone could. In addition, one of my favorite things to do is to read about psychology or a story about someone and then use it to analyze people and ideas. Whenever I am just sitting in a crowded place, I study what people are doing and try to get a better idea of who they are and why they do things. This shows that I have an analytical way of thinking. Going along with being analytical, I also hold back a lot of sharp retorts. Whenever someone says something uneducated or rude, I have to hold my tongue so I don’t offend them. It’s the same way when people use incorrect grammar. These issues and other things, including some things that have happened in my family, have not made it easier for me to keep things back, but I have gotten better at it. This shows my self-restraint. As for being clever, I don’t exactly know, but when I was younger, I could always find a way to get out of trouble and someone else into trouble. I could talk my little sister into anything. Now I try to use this for better causes, like getting good grades or solving a riddle, but the trait is still there. I can usually come up with points and ideas quickly. Although I do have these character traits in common with Doctor Livesey, we are not exactly the same. I consider myself a leader, but not always in a quiet way. I go for it. At times, I am more likely to take an active side in an argument rather than try to end it. In addition, I do not always think before I act like the doctor does. While…

    Right now I think most people see me as quiet. I am the person who only talks to my friends unless I have to otherwise. I barely participate in class and I would rather work by myself than with a large group. I am an introvert, I would much rather be by myself in my room than with a lot of people outside. I also hate presenting, I have become more comfortable with it because of PBL (thanks), but I still would rather do the work and let someone else present my idea. I’m pretty sure teachers see me as quiet too, but ask any of my friends and you’ll get a different…
