In order to make people in your life more comfortable with giving you information about yourself, you may want to ask them to describe how others may perceive you. This gets them off the spot; they're less likely to feel they'll embarrass you and themselves, no matter how much you protest that the information won't hurt your
feelings.
You may want to do this with your co-workers, employer, employees, spouse, children, friends, relatives, and anyone else who knows you.
Write these comments down in a notebook afterwards and then look at certain personality patterns you have, as well as how they feel you present yourself. Once again, insist that they be 100 percent candid with you so that you can get a true picture of how the world sees you.
Sometimes, people will have already told you how they feel about you. In these cases, you don't need to ask them again. Just include their names on the list along with comments they made about you in the past.
