I will never forget one of my psychotherapy workshops years ago, when I was still in school. Our instructor told us to work in pairs. We were to give the other person a detailed description of our personality and what we thought of ourselves - positive things only, no self-criticism. Then the partner was to refer our description to the entire group. The results were amazing. Almost everyone added to the description something from their own perspective. Let's say, I never said I was a good cook, but my partner said that anyway, although he never got to try my cooking before.
Looks like people see us in a much better light than we see ourselves. And if we speak positively about others and ourselves, we'll be given way more credit for it, than expected.
Sometimes we are so busy that we do not see our values. People looking from the side, they see more. It is worth listening to other whispers :) Hugs and kisses my dear Katie :)
