Describe yourself from another's point of view.

This is an exercise that leaves me a bit stumped. To imagine myself from another's point of view, I would have to get some distance away from my own perception, and I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm so critical of myself. I'm guessing that others do see a cautious and reserved person, but not necessarily one as anxious and insecure as I often feel. I think my daughters see me in a way that is full of joy and love. I think they, as well as my mother and father, see the me I want to be.
