Seeing Yourself Through the Eyes of Others
How do you see yourself? Do you think of others? Do you try to get along with stubborn know it all individuals? Do you have traits like your mother or father? Have you asked yourself who you are and who you would like to be? Are you a happy person or a sad person? Do you like doing things for others for no reason? Does giving to someone else make you happy? Can you talk to someone and know if they are genuine? Do you owe up to your mistakes? Do you blame others for your misfortune or when things don't go well for you? Can you say you’re sorry when you’re wrong? Do you try to make others see things like you do? Do you tell others its this way or no way? Does being nice and polite bother you? Is it easier for you to set others up instead of taking the blame for when you are wrong? Do you play sides with people to find out their thoughts about you? Do you let others borrow from you and then try to make them pay you back for the rest of their life? Do you set others up because things didn't go your way? Do you borrow something from someone and then decide that it is yours to keep? Do you ask others to do something and then when it doesn't go well, blame them for misunderstanding the whole conversation?
Take this test, see how you would rate yourself with the questions above. You might want to take a good look at the answers, and think about seeing yourself through the eyes of others.
