What image do you think you project in your day to day life? Is it accurate to the feedback you get from others about your personality?

It depends what image people project to me.

I think I come off as approachable and plain, but nice and friendly. I think people knowing me for only a short time learn fast I am a worrier. So people probably think I am unnecessarily stressed too much of the time.

If you catch me at work, I probably come off as if I don't care. I'm neat and clean, but normally I don't dress up because I'm always in a hurry and the building is huge.

Anywhere else...I've heard many times that I come off as pretty stuck up, which isn't really accurate.

People think I'm quiet and shy. Not a far off conclusion....until you get to know me.

Well, I guess the image I project is me.

I dress casually, with cutoff denim shorts, have a white beard and one could surmise that I was into the counterculture of the '70s.

Like a first impression? Depends on the circumstances.

It all depends on my environment at the time and on my "mood", too.

I think most people think I'm colorful, different, maybe a little quirky. But if I'm dealing with stubborn people (job) then they may think I have an attitude.

Family members, for the most part, find me a bit distanced. Many have commented on "quiet" I am, but that's because I highly gauge what comes out of my mouth around relatives. (Trust me, they often would NOT want to know what I'm holding on my tongue!)
