Sometimes people think they know you. They know a few facts about you, and they piece you together in a way that makes sense to them. And if you don't know yourself very well, you might even believe that they are right. But the truth is, that isn't you. That isn't you at all.Leila Sales
About This Quote
This quote gives an excellent point. Sometimes, people might think that they know you, but it is not true at all. They only know a few facts about you, which is okay in a sense, but when they put them together in a way that makes sense to them, it doesn't make much sense for you. The real you is not the person they think you are, because this person does not match what you want them to see.
This is part of what makes people so different from one another. We all have different thoughts and ideas about ourselves and other people, because we are different people with different thoughts and ideas.
