We never really know how others see us, do we ?
As Robbie Burns put it:
"O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us !"
You can guess by how others treat you.
Like when you order a cup of coffee at the restaurant of a warehouse like Harrods and the woman behind the counter keeps on talking with her collegues and gives you a cappucino instead of coffee, you are not liked.
Or in a store it is your turn and you get ignored,
That sort of things.
On the othger hand, if they like you, you get extra's like a larger sandwich or ask you what you want before it's your turn.
