Trying to see as others see you

Maybe the image I have of myself is flawed. I think we all have flawed views of who we are. The only way we can try to see ourselves is how we interact with others and see their responses to us. When someone says you are a certain way then do you believe them or do you try to see if there is any validation to what they say. I guess feelings do play a part in how we see ourselves and others, don't it. Especially if we are trying to explain a certain behaviour in ourselves or someone else.
Why do we struggle at times to find answers about ourselves or others and never seem to get a complete satisfactory answer that we can live with.....? There is always that little lingering doubt that if something was just a little different it would be alright or acceptable enough for us to move on.
So what do we do with ourselves in these times, do we lash out in anger or bitterness or do we just try to make sense as best as we can and move on with what we have? I guess everyone is different, depending on how obsessive we are about things, wanting the right answer to make ourselves feel better and the other to look worse......you tell me.
Just thoughts I am writing down to clear my head. Sometimes writing gets me to see things a little clearer. Yes I have issues with myself and with others around me but I try to make the most of it.......some nights are hard but what person doesn't have hard times to work through for whatever reason it may be.......Tomorrow always shows up and us with it.
Looking Ahead.....
