Well there are a lot of people thats self image is tied to what they think people are thinking about them
the least of my concerns, what others think of me. which sometimes is too obvious, what they think and that i don't care.
you know in some elevators that have mirrors on opposite sides, and if you position yourself just right, you can get that multiple layer effect, or maybe i put the camera on an angle. then say, damn you're handsome, that means about 20 people agree with you.
i'll keep that matrix self image thing going, denial is a beautiful thing. at this point, well, i think always, i never cared. must of, after looking at some of them old pics of teen years and up. with one exception, unfortunitely have to conform to the image and sometime lie your butt off in a job interview, or an encounter with police. if not, they wouldn't appreciate your talents, until they see for themselves, sometimes that paper trail just doesn't justified getting hired by some. glad those days are over.
back to original thought of phoning oneself to stroke ego. i have more respect for people not on the phone. drives my nuts, you see 4-5-6 people in restaurant, and 2 or 3 are on the phone, why bother. rule of house, usually phones are turned off at 8 pm, Ree and sisters seem to have to talk to each other 3 times a day, this of course, after they just left each other in person, scratching my head.
