Answer:
My opinion: I hope this helped, I am not the best at essays but this was a great prompt.
Step-by-step explanation:
People view people in all sorts of manners and perspectives. We are not perfect individuals, we make mistakes, but we also learn about ourselves from others' views on ourselves. Though some of them just maybe lies if they're not close to you, then why should it matter. Here's what I think we can learn about ourselves through the eyes of others.
One thing we can learn about ourselves is who we truly are. Yes we might have an idea of ourselves but what about when your "friends" want you to commit a crime of some fashion, would you decline or go with it, even if your conscience is telling you not to. Through their actions, their voices, and what they want us to do, we can determine who we are through their mistakes.
Another thing we can determine about ourselves is what we want. We have a slight generalized idea of what we want in life from an early age and we typically befriend people with an idea similar to what we want, generally around the time of high school. We work and build our knowledge just so we can attempt to get what we want and we stick by the people who want the same thing. People will voice their opinions about what we want and sometimes they can be right; sometimes people want something because a vast majority of people want it and it seems cool. People can remind us of what is a trend and what we actually want.
