6: Perception

1. How is the "public you" different from the "private you"?

The “public me” differs in variety of ways. I become a more extroverted version of myself.

Outside of my home-life I am punctual, respectful and I can always get along with everyone.

When outside in the grocery stores, attending appointments, etc., I find a can give a person

comfort and vice versa. The “private me” is also extroverted but a bit more than in public. I find

comfort around my family; therefore, it is amazing when I can truly express what my sister calls

“weird quirkiness”.

2. What do you want people to think and say about you?

I want to be a person that is dependable and professional. I always want to come off as a

person that can fulfill tasks to the best of my ability. I want to be known as a kind person,

respectful, and anytime I am dealing with a person, I want them to feel comfortable when

discussing a certain matter. The view I want for myself is reflection to how I wanted to be when I

was younger. I wanted to make my parents proud. Leaving the house and gathering around

people that have seen me grow, they can truly see the change.

3. Is it more important to be liked by others or to be yourself? Why?

It is important to be true to yourself and then let the other dictate how they want to perceive

you. There something about getting to a point of really excepting who a person truly is and when

that happens, whatever anyone one says will not hurt you. I am someone who wants to be

established and successful and the happens when a person works on themselves. The effort put

will show. And when the time comes people will show you what they really like about because

of the effort and time that was put to truly find a yourself. This create the best relationships.
