If only we could see ourselves through someone else’s eyes from time to time. Maybe we would not be half as critical with our appearance… I always loved this song by Lunic and the message behind it. Just imagine you could actually see yourself through a different pair of eyes every now and then… What would you see?
My different pair of eyes are my husband’s. And he definitely sees me in a different way than I often do. When he explains what he sees I often don’t find words. I don’t handle compliments that well, you know 😉
It is always interesting how others see us. The most wonderful view is the one of people who truly love us. That’s the view that makes us discover our own beauty again.

I often wonder if I were somebody else, would I be friends with me I am now. I wish I could get my DW to see herself as I see her.

Oh I know… I guess by telling her how you see her you already get far.

This is a great post. I hold the bar very high for myself so naturally sometimes I fail to reach the level I set and I get down on myself. My son will give me a hug and say something like “Mom, chill a bit here” and list all the reasons he thinks I’m amazing. Some days I can’t help but wonder if I am the person he sees.

Love what you wrote. I guess the worst critic is yourself. Sometimes I wish I can get into other people’s head and really see what they really, really think without all the pretenses and the fluffs!
