Zwinky & Self Image
Zwinky
I saw this in a pop-up ad that got through my blocker. I know, this could very well be spammed with adware. In fact, I’m almost certain it is. But I got to create a funky looking dude, so it was worth having to run AdAware after. Woot.
Anyway, check out my Zwinky HERE.
Hehe, ‘Check out my Zwinky‘ sounds so wrong.
Self Image
Anyway, next topic of discussion: Boh3m3 (a user on youtube) & Self Image. He had a video which he talks about self image.
When I think of self image, I think of how you see yourself not how other people see you. How others see you is simply your image. In some cases, you’re presenting yourself as you see yourself. However, more often then not people’s image is only what they’re giving the person. So this usually isn’t personality, it’s looks and how you act firstly. That said, you usually want to show the person what they want to see, true to your self image or not is not even a factor to consider.
So he asked “Can you change other people’s perception of you through a physical change?” Yes and no. You can create a new perception, but not change an existing perception. If you see somebody dressed in a business suit you’re going to perceive them differently then you would were they covered in tattoos wearing leather. That’s barely even a topic of discussion, you’re going to get a first impression of somebody so you can make a judgement of them to figure out how you should relate to them, correct or incorrect all you have to work with is looks and how they act. However, that’s only assuming you don’t know them already. If a friend (or simply somebody you have a general idea of their mind set already) changes their looks, there is little chance that you will change your perception of them, as you already know them as a person, not just a face.
So yeah, if I’m to ask a stranger for the time I’d ask somebody dressed proper and neat over somebody dressed in rags because I would assume a person is a certain way by how they look.
But If a friend were to dye their skin green and grow an orange Mohawk, besides thinking they’ve flown over the co co’s’s nest I’d know they’re still the same person inside and it will go unchanged.
