Who are we? Who are we to other people? Are we the same as other people to us? What do other people see right now When they look at me? Am I different? Is everyone makeing fun of me? and I am just stupid and/or ignorant? Am I socially/mentally challenged and just dont realize it?
Just questions to ask yourself. . . And reply with comments or whatever.
I've often thought about that myself. You can look at it many different ways. Seeing yourself as others see you isn't easy, it means you have to almost literally step out of your own ego and observe your own behavior objectively. I realize that many people that talk and interact with me on a daily basis have somewhat jaded views of me becuase I really don't care what anyone else's opinion of me is. I think they see me as a walking book of useless information. Also they might percieve me to be somewhat jaded myself, I hate my job and usually have no buts about voicing my position on that. All in all, I think perhaps it might be better if we are blissfully ignorant of how other people see us becuase it might therefore influence how we act and that changes how they see us, and so on. It's a never ending cycle of trying to change ourselves to fit into other's perceptions of how we should be. A bad thing in my opinion.
Do you smoke a lot of pot? have you shroomed balls? LSD? Mescal? or anything related?

Others' opinions do not matter, since opinion is fleeting and feeble. Knowledge has substance and longevity, so one's own knowledge of self is the only thing to be accounted for.
Who we are.... well... we are what aliens call fish. :P

But knowledge is not truth, the only thing we can be sure of is that truth is truth. There are three sides in a triangle, four in a square. These are the only things we can be sure of, all other *knowledge*, especially that relating to our self, could be an illusion.
How could 3 sides in a triangle not be an illusion? Because humanity has established that as a fundamental truth - humanity as a whole. Humanity as a whole has not established that you personally are "different", "smart", or any other open-ended adjective.

I am the amalgamation of self propagating patterns residing in a self propagating ball of flesh. I am that which shapes the outside world to mimic the inside one.
To everyone else I am a ball of flesh that you can have a conversation with but as they can not see the pattern inside that is all. You have to look at the patter's reflection on the outside world to know me.

i make a consius effert to not think about myself too much.
i just get confused.
or mad once i realise how incredibly flawd i am.
besides, why should i give a fuck about how others see me?
its easiest just to assume you hate them, and they hate you. trying to change it is pointless.
