This one's kind of one for the knowing. Hard to accept, but sometimes, you just have to know things about yourself that you can't quite see from the inside out.
Others' perceptions of you can be vastly different from various experiences involving their time with your being, your person, presence. Can be face-to-face for years, or through IM windows for a decade. Could've been a short stint at a convention or party, could be just through a forum or heresy, talk about your from others that have met you...
Sometimes, you may hear the good things about you and what you do, but the bad things come up through words here and there to others, filtering in about you. somebody says that you're an asshole, somebody says that you're shorter in person, that your art sucks, whatever. It's opinion, but usually, there's a basis for it, an experience that triggers it, a reason for the negativity.
Hearing things like this might be hard, but it also lets you know that there 'are' issues that you have to address. Some things can't be helped, like if somebody doesn't like the fact that you like a certain genre of music, or look a certain way. But if it's something like an attitude check or mannerism, you'd benefit knowing that somebody finds you abrasive, and it's on you to take the knowledge and become a better person, or explain, give your reason for acting in such a way.
A few of you guys've known me for a time... Over the years, I know that I've went through changes. I'm different than I was a few years ago, though still the same, at the core. Experiences change people, and sometimes, you're changed in ways to adapt to the situations you encounter, at times, not for the better, but wiser, stronger. Sometimes scarred, not as lighthearted and free as you once were for the sake of not making a certain mistake that gave you the experience you battled through, in the first place. Defensive, to an extent.
I also know that a lot of you don't really know me very well, but have your opinions of me through what you've seen on here, or through brief meeting on IM. Somebody that you know might've met me in some way, had their own opinion of me that turned you off...
So, here it is. I hand you the sword.
Lay into me. Tell me any issues that you might have with me, whether it be my attitude, the way I do things, the way that I might've affected you, if it was negatively. If you have beef with me, get it off of your chest, here and now. Any rumors and heresy that you've heard about me, I'll answer to directly, here.
I can work on myself, but sometimes, I need a reflection of myself that doesn't come from the mirror, since I can only see from my eyes and nobody else's. So give me your vision of me, so that I can see through your own visage.
Cut me down.
Might as well give it a shot, can never stop improving yourself, might as well hear what people gotta say.
