Impressions

I often wonder what sort of impression people get from my life. What sort of things do people think about me and my actions and my relationships? Do people have assumptions and ideas that would never have crossed my mind to associate with my own life? How close or far are these assumptions from the truth?

One of the main problems with this is that there is no objective truth to be had. There's my impression of these things. There are the others' involved impressions. And then are the outside impressions of those third parties. Each of these impressions is informed by a great number of things. A person's history, biases, and moods. Hundreds of other factors. So, what is the truth?
