I'll hazard the guess that we're not mentaly connected on this; OR: this is one of those 1000 delusions you mentioned a while back.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one.
I would venture to say that one's self image can project outwards therefore causing other people to see it. But on the other hand, and more likely, people are going to think about you whatever they wish.

I respectfully decline to agree with you there. Many people think many things of me, but I consider very few people to have a balanced and complete impression of me. I know lots of people think I'm something quite different from what I actually am. For example, I tend to go through periods of having fairly low self-esteem. When I'm all down on myself (keeps me humble ) I doubt it's 'cause everyone else's opinion of me just did a nose-dive.
Maybe I'm missing the point...

that's one manifestation but it is more interwoven.
you project what you think of yourself, and people read it. but people read it in ways that you would not yourself read yourself if you saw yourself from third person.
you might think "oh i'm ugly" but people may find you beautiful, for instance.
you may think you are sexy but there will be those who disagree.

It's like this, not knowing what people think of you only shows that you can think of what they think of you, and only that.

Mind readers I guess could use what you think of yourself...What percentage of the population are mind readers, not just body language.

Droz said: What you think of yourself, is what people think of you.
what grammatical usage are you relating to?
"I think about myself the way I do because that is the way people have told me to feel."
or...
"People think of me this way because I think of myself this way"
If it is the first example then yes, if you are told 3000 times that you are "ugly" chances are you will believe it at a point. Because of your internal clockwork. People only know what they are told...thats why you can never be certain of anything.
If you are refering to the second instance it is a relative action. you communication is a motive to communicate similar emotions or actions against yourself.

Blackdragon999 - Sorta like number 2, the fact that everything you feel comes from within you and not from someone else. You can feel different about yourself when someone tells you something like you are fat or you are ugly, but still it comes from within.

You may assume that people may not know anything about you, true enough, and this gives u the total freedom to makeup ur mind on how you'd like to be projected,
but when you have a cause in ur mind, and you intend a certain effect, but it results in something u weren't expecting, then usually you reevaluate your initial conception to try to align it to the more desired outcome, which may take work,
if a heavy girl thinks she's the hottest piece of ass around, believe me its not going to change my mind or my opinion on what is hot, maybe to some brothas but heavy isn't hot to me, Even if I do think shes nice, and somewhat attractive, she'll get a lackluster enthusiastic result from me, she'll then see not everyone holds the same conception that she holds of herself,

I also disagree. People make up their judgments and views of other people based on their past experiences, beliefs, and mental conditioning. These things all go together into determining how people view you. People don't realize, however, that this is how they create their mental model of other people, which is why they assume it for the truth, that the person is actually the way they think.
The same goes with situations, things, places, ... whatever we are able to pass judgmnet on and label.
If everyone was how we viewed ourselves, than how come people will all have different views about the same person?
