Though not negative, the comments made me ponder. My personality must be obvious to the casual observer. But what lasting impression do I leave? Friendly, I hope. Reticent, perhaps. But I wondered about nuances. Would a perceptive observer sense that I prefer to be alone with my stories and my thoughts? Would my bubbly demeanor with children fool people into thinking I'm equally comfortable with a group of adults?
What about you, readers? Has a comment from an acquaintance or stranger given you pause? Do you have a good grasp on how you're perceived? If you had to choose one word to describe the impression you leave with others, what would it be?
I look forward to your responses!
