It is difficult to be certain what impressions others may have of us. We can assume safely that many have preconceptions, prejudices even. But we don’t know what others make of us. Because I don’t have a WankedIn profile it is difficult to have a professional understanding of me according to whatever PR I might have put on it. I don’t really have much of a searchable presence on line. I live in a world adjunct to the normal one. Because I am not on WankedIn I cannot read other profiles thereupon.

The impression I have is that it would be very difficult for me to get French citizenship. I conclude that my social integration is insufficient, that my language skills are not good enough and that it will be an arduous procedure to apply. The impression I have is that it is in no way a given.

This is not really a big deal. I am not French enough to be a French citizen. It is logical.

We may hope that others have different impressions of us but unless we inquire we have only our monopolar home grown notion.

I do assess people. I have sent someone an email and my mental get back to me timer has started. The result will go on mental file as part of a picture I am forming of them. We do not know what others have on file concerning us.

The impression we imagine that we make may be wrong and inaccurate.

Something you think is impressive and grand, may be a black mark or a red flag to others.

We have very little control over the impression others have and hold of us…

People form impressions based upon the wisdom of “they” especially when there is no direct current personal experience.
