Public perception

I think about how other people see probably more than I should. I don't change who I am for other people, but I just want to know what other people think of me. I've been noticing a wide variety or perceptions the people have of me, most of them with serious flaws.

I've been fortunate enough to get to know some of the freshmen that come to ACF pretty well and one time I was having tea with one of them and we somehow ended up talking about how I'm pretty antisocial and not real friends with a ton of people. She didn't really believe me at first. Yeah I know most of the people at ACF, but I only really spend any significant amount of time with a handful, and while I'm not enemies with very many people I feel like I'm not really friends with people I don't spend time with. Anyways, she thought that I was friends with everyone and knew everyone and everyone knew me.

Another time I was having tea with a freshman we were talking about the banquet, which was coming up soon, and I said that I still wasn't sure if I was going and that I had never been to a fall banquet. And again she was surprised. She thought I was all gun ho, love ACF, go to everything. Sometimes I really can't stand being at ACF and don't want to go anymore, but maybe I'll write about that another time.

It's probably the worst in my own class. I'm not really friends with too many other juniors at ACF. Yeah I talk to them at ACF or if I see them around, but I don't really hang out with too many of them. Anyways I find that when I'm around people from my class I act and I think and view things differently because of the way that they see me. I don't really like it, and it's hard to explain, but there a lot of incorrect perceptions of me out there that I wish I could change.

Because of his grace and for his glory.
