【LV99 Gadabout】Mental Filters and the Perception Gap
People aren't looking at your face; they're looking at your soul.
The relentless effort you put into self-improvement every day.
It gets across to others 100%.
Experiencing various things in life, polishing your mind, training your body, and living like a true human being.
Let's call this "self-contained growth" for now.
Armed with self-confidence, you communicate with others.
But to your surprise, they couldn't care less.
In fact, they might even rate you negatively. (ﾟДﾟ) Huh?!
The reality is that the information known as "You" is not received by the other person in the way you intended.
Infinite variety. If there are 100 people, there are 100 ways of perceiving things. We try to patch this up through the act of conversation. This breeds distorted perceptions.
Sometimes, you might even be rated higher than you actually think.
A perception filter is heavily influenced by the receiver's own experiences (how many people they've interacted with).
When you go abroad, your perception shifts dramatically—common sense differs, and the demographics change completely.
No matter how much you tweak your physical appearance, dress up, or show off your possessions, others won't even register it. (Though basic grooming is obviously essential).
You'll just get a "Hmm, oh really?" (ﾉ∀`) Oof.
Only you can change what's inside you.
Appearance is surprisingly secondary.
Try allocating your energy to something else.
Ironically, when your inner self changes, your outer appearance (your vibe) shifts too.
And when both the inside and outside transform,
new encounters (and events) will find you.
The act of solely polishing your exterior...
The only one who can reevaluate that is you.
You are being seen right through.
The End.
By the way, in my other posts, I chronicle an even harsher and way more OMORO "Hardcore Survival (Life Log)".
So,
if you want to get dragged into the swamp of laughter, be sure to check out my other posts.
Reboot complete.
Am I... beautiful? (´･ω･)(･ω･｀) The mirror broke...
