Perception is the co-pilot to reality...

I recently read a post from Belle @ Capitol Hill Style, that really made me think.  Basically Belle wrote a piece about how you see yourself vs. how other people see you. Apparently she told an acquaintance whose dating profile described her as carefree and low maintenance that she was neither; and how the acquaintance got a little 'upset' with her until she got a few more opinions that agreed with Belle. I've done this on more than one occasion myself, once at the encouragement of my mentor, and more recently, while I was writing a speech on the importance of "branding yourself" in ones career.

So now I'm a little curious, have any of you ever asked your friends and coworkers what they think about you? And would you even want to know?

For the record, my co workers seem to think I'm hyper organized and no-nonsense, and my friends seem to think I'm disorganized and a good listener. I wouldn't have used any of those terms to describe myself, so I guess that's the point.

What say you?
