I once read that if we all saw ourselves exactly as we look, we probably wouldn't recognise it's us. I have found this to be very true.
When we stare at the mirror, we see a one dimension reflection of ourselves and most times, our sight interprets things differently.
There is no perfect way of getting to know an actual description of yourself.
Just the way some mirrors and cameras make you appear lighter, darker, skinnier or fatter, taller or shorter than you actually are, so also can one individual's description of you differ from another individual.
You may be insecure about some physical feature you have. While one individual may agree about the description of that feature you are insecure about, another may describe it as worse than you see it, another may not even see what you actually insecure about.
Beauty is indeed in the eyes of the beholder.

When I was younger I prayed that Jehovah would let me see myself as others saw me, for the purpose of correcting the faults and flaws I was not aware of because it’s difficult to be objective about yourself.
But I never got the feeling that my prayer was answered, at least the way I expected. Maybe Jehovah’s answer is already contained in his standards laid out for all of us in His word.
But as has been already brought out, each of others may see us in entirely different ways, so there is no standard among men. But if we live up to his standards and have His approval we don’t have to concern ourselves needlessly with trying to please others because we can never please all.

Just found out I am long sighted. I pretty much have to make changes/adjustments now. The little but important things we take for granted. Hmmn.

That is so true. I’m near sighted, and my husband is long sighted. I cannot imagine being caught without glasses, and not being able to read. But, then, I’ve worn glasses most of my life. Just normal for me. He hasn’t, and gets caught.
Then there are the friends, “where are my glasses”. It’s funny to see the young ones wearing reading glasses. Including my son!
One day, teehee, no more glasses, period!
(I was wondering what country you are from. It finally came to me the term I’m used if is, “far-sighted”. I couldn’t think of it earlier!) the term.

I have drooping corneas (keratoconus) Glasses are so much of a nuisance but the alternative is cornea transplants - not happening! I hate it when I have an eye lash in my eye so I'm not having someone stick needles in my eyes for nothing. I'll wait for Jehovah to fix me.

@ Miss Bea, yes the term is actually 'far sighted'. But its common where I am from to use the term 'long sighted' instead. I am from Nigeria.
I was told I was born 'far sighted' and my youth has been compensating for this refractive error but now that I am older, it can't keep doing that.
@Sister Vinnie, Yours is a peculiar case. Sorry that glasses doesn't help.
One day, no more glasses.

I touched a report button by mistake. I got carried away while reading and enjoying Sister luezette's recent status. I didn't know when my finger clicked on the report button as I was scrolling down. I am sorry Sister luezette.
