Welcome to today's episode, where we dive into the ideas and concstruct of self-perception and the misconceptions that come with it. You ever catch yourself thinking, “I might be a piece of shit...” We’ve all been there—those moments where we question what we know, how we know it, what it means, and where we stand in the grand scheme of things.
Let’s break it down. You’ve got what you think you know about yourself, what others think they know about you, and the often messy, tangled reality that lies somewhere in between. It’s a complex equation where the variables constantly shift—how we see ourselves versus how we believe others see us, and how much of that is rooted in truth or pure misconception.
Think about it. When was the last time you questioned your self-image? Or better yet, when was the last time you stopped to consider whether the person you think you are aligning with the person others perceive? It’s a trippy concept that we all wrestle with, often without even realizing it.
In today’s episode, we’re going to explore these ideas. We’ll look at how our self-perceptions are formed, why they often don’t match reality, and how others see us can either reinforce or shatter those beliefs. We’ll also discuss how to navigate the gap between self-perception and reality and come out on the other side with a clearer, more grounded sense of who we are.
So, stick around if you’ve ever caught between what you know and what you think you do. This one’s for you.
