A gap between how we perceive ourselves and how we are perceived by others, is not something uncommon. Here is one of the most smart experiments to prove this scenario happens more often than we think and to a much larger scale than we believe. Although published almost a year ago, I chose to post this Dove documentary because its launch coincides with my birthday and I couldn’t find any better reminder of how we should never underestimate ourselves. The same of course applies for the opposite: never overestimate yourself. In any case, mind the gap.
Hey! Thanks for this post! 🙂 We loved that campaign too… We are looking for people to take part in a video about self acceptance… just wondered if you fancy taking part? Here’s some details: http://unsunglilly.com/2014/01/18/feature-in-our-video-about-self-acceptance/
That’s a great idea! 🙂
