My college friends think I’m from a wealthy home, I don’t know why they think so. Probably what I said or did gave them the impression. I don’t know how to deal with this. Should I keep up with the assumption or right the wrong impression they already have.
The perception of others about us largely depends on how we see ourselves. What I mean by that is how others see you depends on how you see yourself. But how you see yourself is not always the same with how other people see you. People’s way of seeing things are different. we come from many different environments, brought up differently and thus, they only normally result to different points of view.
How people perceive you is dependent on the social cues of the culture or subculture they live in. This works at all levels. Your accent will signal different things to different people. Your political beliefs, your interests in music or other media, even your body language. What is assertive to one group is unbearably rude to another.
Rather than asking if you have the wrong perception of yourself, you should ask if you correctly understand the ‘language’ of the group you’re trying to join.
