-" I want my perception of myself to align with the way that the world perceives me sometimes" -> I would love that too, but I think it is hardly possible. My metaphor for seeing people is similar to yours - I see everyone as having their own worlds. It is my world of beliefs and your world of beliefs, influenced by many experiences and conditioning before. I am a memory and so are you and there wont ever be a case when they two are the same.
- mushrooms - what a coincidence, i just saw the same mushrooms in Pennsylvania. They are called Morels!
Yea I think that’s a good point, there’s not a great way of determining what the worlds perception of you is, much less how much it matches yours. I do however think we can get close by taking an honest inventory of the things we choose to share with the world and evaluating whether it comes from a place of authenticity or trying to exert control on how you’re perceived.
-> that’s super cool! I really hope you picked a couple morels - they’re great in an omelette
