Last week was long and grueling for me. What I found to be a resounding theme for me was peoples perception. Not just of me but my actions. How important is it to respond to what others perceive you to be or how you should act?
Daily I found myself trying to defend myself against what others perception of me was. The things were minor but annoying none the less. I remember growing up and being taught to live and let live. Everyone is entitled to there own view on a situation. When is it ok for someone to project what they believe you are onto you? Believe me I have no problem discussing a particular view, but don’t try and make me see myself as you perceive me to be.
Have you ever encountered this type of situation, whether it in the workplace, family or personal life? How did you handle it? Was there anything you learned about yourself from the incident.

Been there and still going through it. I learned if you want to keep your job, then you give in to whatever they think you should be. If you don't mind losing a friend or two, then their perception isn't really a factor. And since you don't get to choose family, you can be yourself because they have to deal with you anyway.
