A friend of mine sent me a funny FaceQ version of me the other day and I got to thinking... (Deep thoughts.) How much does the way I see myself differ from the way other people do? Probably A LOT. For one, I'm with myself 24/7 and I hear my own thoughts. But then again.. I don't see myself all the time. Even though I might spend an unnecessary amount of time in front of reflective surfaces, I'm not looking at me when I talk, laugh, dance etc.
I read on it a little and found that most people notice the things they are conscious about in themselves when they look at others. I tried applying this to myself and I think it's quite true. For example I don't really like my hair as it's quite thin and frizzy so I'm quick to notice if your hair is lovely thick and shiny. Or if it's more like mine. So I'll either admire your hair or feel better about myself and like you for it. And if I like someone, I'll think they're pretty.
That's the other thing that affects the way we look at things! How we feel. I find that when I get to know people they either turn more attractive or less attractive depending on how much I like they're personality.

Now here's a little glimpse into how differently people see me! It's FaceQ so obviously it's not very accurate as everyone has their own artistic views but that just futher demonstrates how diffrently we look at things, right? :D
This is what I came up with:

The bottom line is:
You've got a million faces, don't worry about the one in the mirror too much!
