Nnnnnnnnnnya, can't think. Must comment. Will inevitably speak in broked, half-finished thoughts. Nnnnnnnya, can't resist....
I think, to some extent, you would have to define "how people think of you" to decide whether or not you care. If it means that they like or don't like you for who you are, I think I can say I really don't care. If, however, you define "what they think" as whether or not they know you as you are, that I'm concerned with. I would go so far as to say I don't like someone LIKING me for what I'm not as much as someone NOT liking me for what i'm not, and I think I've had each happen.
I agree that I too think that no one can 'truely' know another person, through and through, but I think that we can get close enough that the diffrence in what IS and what we PRECIEVE is negligible. That is to say, I think we can get close enough. and that, I believe, is what I stive for. I think. Maybe....
Nnnnnnya...
LOL Either you have too high an opinion of me, or I have too low of one - I would argue its somewhere along the median. I'll agree I MIGHT have SLIGHTLY more spine that I give myself credit for, but I also don't think anything I do is beyond the ordinary - that would imply that I expect myself to do less than is ordinary, though that's not wholey true. Maybe some of what I do is up there somewhere...nnnnnnnya....I would argue, though, that I've made more "Small confessions" to periferals than to the objects themselves. I've 'confessed' about Emily to just about everyone reading this, I do believe, but to her....? Maybe now, even if my method was less than accurate... I've also expressed different things about Nancy, too, to you and Claire in particular I think, but have I ever really said anything to her? No, I'm not as bad as I make myself out to be (no one ever is) but I also don't see that i'm all that speh-shul, neither.
Nnnnnnya....brain, not....functioning....
That last line makes me think that you imply yourself in "many people"....I also hope I can be honest...I hope I am being honest...I don't even know right now...brain...shutting....down....
...and karma's BETTER than death...
