People see you better than you see your self.

My friend brought up mirrors the other day, which got me thinkin.. We don't even see ourselves the way others do. Ever. It's not possible to be watching yourself at every minute of every day to judge. We don't think of ourselves the way others do for the same reason. In pictures, we're already changed; it's already in the past. Done. Over with. We never get a clear image of what we're really like. By the time the brain and the eyes have finished processing what just happened in front of them, time has already moved on without us. Anything we percieved has already happened. What we know as the present is non-existent. It's up to the people around us to see and judge us. They see the best and the worst, since everyone makes mistakes, while often times a person can be blind to mistakes they are making. It's funny how we are taught to know and love ourselves, when our concept of ourselves will always constantly and forever be skewed. We will never get a sense of ourselves in the present, it is physically unachievable. Actions speak louder than words or thoughts. It is up to our actions and our peers to decide. It is impossible for the self.
