Anais Nin writes, "The past has not left me bitter or vengeful. I face the love, tributes I receive with pleasure. I am like a new woman, born with the publication of the Diary. This new woman is at ease with the world because whatever shyness is leftover from the past is helped by the fact that when I enter a room or a lecture hall people know me already and they rush toward me. Their warmth creates a climate in which I can open, respond, flower, return their love."
Isn't it true the way you believe you are perceived by the world affects the way you present yourself to the world? If you feel you are popular and well-liked, you present a happier, more out-going, confident face to the world. If you feel you are unliked or invisible, you present a shy, quiet, reserved self to the world.
