Can you describe your physical appearance? Of course you can. What about your character? Again, you answer affirmatively. Now I ask you: Are you sure? Let's just say that the way you see yourself is "your opinion". In fact, should you ask someone else to describe you, especially as to your personality, you will probably be shocked by how different their opinion might be. For instance, what you define as self-confidence could be perceived by others as arrogance instead. When you talk about people, what for you is a simple description may be judged as gossip of criticism. When you believe you are being helpful in pointing out someone else's mistake, your action (= the way you act) may be perceived as condescending, even haughty. What to do, in order to avoid such errors? Simple: become "aware".
