We all have notions of how we think people perceive us based on our own self-perceptions. Sometimes we find out what people REALLY think, good or bad, but most of the time we have no clue until a person actually tells us. I was pleasantly surprised and completely baffled this week when a classmate I'm loosely acquainted with told me what she thought of me. I have never seen myself that way. Life is full of surprises.
