A person constructs two images of the self. One image is formed on the inner mirror surface of the bubble. This image is how the person sees himself or herself. Another image is the image that one projects on the outer surface of bubble (persona that others outside the bubble can see). Both of these images are arbitrary constructions. These images are usually created partly by how others see us and partly by our interpretations over time (ever since childhood). Self-image of most people, at best, is an inaccurate, false, flawed, or illusive construct.
Your image on the outer surface of others’ bubbles is created by others’ values (and not your values), yet it affects your self-image. You should not allow these images affect your self-image because how others judge you has no value for your feeler (others have their own values, their own interpretative lenses, and their own standards of beauty). You should control your own self-image. You should not let others define you. Nobody knows who you are (not even you). Nobody knows what your future potentials are. Any self-image can be true, depending on how the future unfolds. Nezman does not allow others’ values and opinions define him or her. Nezman is the super-hero of his or her own reality.
