Sometimes I think we all have that friend who doesn't see what others see in them. They'll be there saying "oh, I'm just average" while everyone else is like "??? are we looking at the same person??"
Had a moment like this recently. My friend was stressing about a presentation, saying she wasn't "professional enough," meanwhile she's literally the most put-together person I know. Funny how we can be our own worst critics.
Maybe that's just part of being human - we're so used to seeing ourselves in the mirror every day that we become blind to what others notice instantly. Our flaws become magnified while our best features fade into background noise.
But here's a thought: if you ever catch yourself saying "I'm not even that..." - pause. Because chances are, you're probably way more than you give yourself credit for. Sometimes the most attractive thing isn't even about looks - it's about being genuinely yourself and not even realizing the impact you have on others.
What's your experience with this? Ever had a moment where you realized your self-perception was way off from how others saw you?
Yes man, totally. I am my biggest self critic. But, honestly, no matter how good others may think about me, if I cannot agree with them, then I don't have that confidence at all. I realised that self belief goes a long way into achieving what you want. As long as you believe you deserve it, no matter what others say, you are ready to put it efforts. The reverse of this is also true for me
Charlie Rose: “Is there any limit to your ambition?” Kanye West: “No.” CR: “Or any limit to what you think you can achieve?” KW: “No. Well… No. Because I think right now, if I was to quit rapping and I say I want to go to the NBA, I would be in the NBA.” CR: “No you wouldn’t.” KW: “Yes.” CR: “No you wouldn’t.” KW: “Yes I would.” CR: “No you wouldn’t.” KW: “Yes I would.” CR: “Why would you think you could make it to the NBA?” KW: “Cuz I think I can do anything… My talent is the ability to learn.
No bro 😑🤚. Take my example, I only act humble, but I know that I am intelligent than most at my company. But I keep it low key not to trigger others. Law of power number 37 - Never outshine your master or anyone who can help you in future. Insecure people are as worse than enemies, especially if that insecure person is your boss. You work in venture capital. You must have seen these episodes before.
