Our impressions of ourselves aren't always right, or at least they aren't always what others see. I don't usually think of myself as a particularly noisy or garrulous person, but I sometimes come off that way. More often I come off as aloof and elitist, which I can't agree with either. Still, to others I am a video game obsessed slacker. This final observation I find completely felonious, but it must be true on some level. Something must trigger me to act one way here, another way over there, a different way with these people and yet another way those people. Why can't I just be Carl all the time?

Our innate ability to be display a different personality in front of different people borders on schizophrenic. I have trouble keeping track of the many mes that other people see on a regular basis. My mind sometimes plays tricks on me and integrates them into a whole that is far different from the parts that others see. Either I am wrong for attempting to create an overarching mental image, or everyone else needs to get to know me better.
