glassy_witch...specifically, I was asked "how would your friends describe you?".
And you know what? I have absolutely no idea. And I said as much. Because the difficulty with those questions is that you CAN'T know how people speak about you when you're not there. You can only go by what you're told was said...which 99% of the time, you wouldn't get to hear about anyway. And also, your friends wouldn't tend to talk about you anyway, unless asked a specific question ABOUT you, or when recounting a story that included you in some way. Unless you've done something to upset them and they are spilling their tale of woe to someone else, and in THAT case it's hardly likely to be positive.
All of this ran through my head as I uhmmed and ahhhed, and made comments about how hard a question it was.
I finally said that I didn't KNOW, but that if there was anything I hoped they would say, it would be that I was kind.
