I want to develop better social self awareness. I feel like I have very long understanding of my impact on others in social settings, and being able to reflect on that and modulate it would be a useful skill.
What got me thinking about this was my roommate saying "I can't imagine you being subservient in a relationship."
Which is just... Super weird to me. Because a) why do I come across one way to her and a different way to others? And b) her concept of me (strong-willed, self-assured) is so different from my self concept. How am I giving off such a different impression?
