I'm pretty sure that almost everyone here has been asked how they thought they were viewed by other people.
This is definitely a marijuana-induced thought, but shit, this blew my fucking mind.
Think about it this way. Think about how you view yourself. All of your individual characteristics, everything that you know about yourself. Then think about how other people view you. Viewing you knowing only what they know and seeing only what they see.
I've always viewed myself as a small, nonthreatening individual who fits in to society and is hardly unique in any way aside from being somewhat of a geek. The small part is a big deal, since up until 9th grade or so, I was always the smallest kid. Shortest in my grade, lightest, etc. I had a huge growth spurt and now am above average, but I still feel small, even when around people my own size. The thing is that other people don't view me as small, that's just how I view myself. Just this realization itself made me realize that there were probably tons of things about my person in general that I had a completely different view on. I almost wish that I could pay somebody to follow me around with a camera for a month, and then edit all the meaningful things (conversations, etc) together into somewhat of a video.
Sorry if this post is kind of scattered. It's 4:48am and I am not tired and wanted to post about this before it left my mind.
I have an anxiety disorder.
akudood;
Always
I used to be really self conscious...but now I really don't care what people think...and everyone seems to admire that for some reason.
I do it all of the time. In fact, I take it to the next level because almost every time I do something, I make a mental picture of someone else I know who tends to do the same thing I just did, and perceive myself as I would normally perceive that person.
Sometimes it's positive, sometimes it's negative. If it's negative, I always make a note in my head to try not to repeat that action in the future.
I've had people say they view me as a "character" who gets off task faaaar too easily. akudood;
I'm not sure what that means.
I'm pretty sure people view me as strange and just all around unpleasant. confuseddood;

I'm pretty sure every one at some point has thought about this whether they decided to care or not. It's definitely not a drug induced thought exclusively, but may be given more thought especially when one is paranoid
I'm paranoid far too often. :(

while I do wonder, I certainly don't let it bother me a whole lot, partially out of laziness
I generally assume that people see me as little more than a kid, because of the way I look and the way I sound
beyond that, though, I'm not really sure
kaz you don't sound like a kid wtf

I don't know. Cannabis has led to some crazy realizations about life, and I smoke a lot. I see life a lot more clear now. It's weird. Like I said, I had thought about this numerous times before I started smoking, but smoking took it to the next level. I can't explain it.

Shrooms will make you do that way more
Hmm, a cannabis-induced thought, eh?
I perceive myself very negatively and harshly.
Others see me in a light that's unknown to me--hence why I cannot trust them, they threaten the foundation that I've built for myself. I can only believe some pieces of their words once I trust them, but the process is difficult and painful--unless I get a sense that they're "safe".
this is a serious question? wow.
i agree with socks

my voice is slowly getting lower since my anxiety doesn't mess with my breathing
but i still hate it--it sounds so WHITE MIDDLE-CLASS AMERICAN
Around this time last year I was really obsessed with figuring out what people thought of me. I was pretty hung up on it for a while. Thinking about it got me nowhere. After actually talking to some of my friends about it I found out that I what I thought people saw me as differed completely from their actually perception of me. I generally see myself as quiet, soft-spoken, and somewhat melancholic, but apparently I'm seen as loud, gregarious, constantly joking, and unpredictable.
I thought about this for a while, and it dawned on me that I perceive myself not in terms of how I act but how I think. Obviously the people who aren't me do the opposite. I'm a lot cooler than I give myself credit for.
