Apparently, you do get what you want.
I've been giving out the impression that I'm badass (I am) and that I'm heartless and cruel (on occasion). I also give out the impression that I'm a bitch (true, mostly) and that I've done some skeevy things in my life (partially true). But I think I went a little overboard, that or they went and embellished certain capabilities I have.
Looking at it like a psych/social experiment: this is called perception management. People will see you the way you project yourself. However, the power of insinuation is just as potent. Let's take Draco Malfoy as an example - he never said he was practicing the dark arts and we all know that he never really did. All he had to do was place a few bricks here and there and everyone immediately built a house around it.
Here's the kick in the jewels though: Since I have so generously thrown those bricks around, some of them have actually come up to me to ask for "assistance". One in particular asked me if I can hack into a password secured document. Oookkaaayyy... If one has asked me about my capability to do such a thing then the answer is in the affirmative. If one asks me if I will do it, the answer is the negatory. It is quite unethical and I will not let myself be dragged into crap like that without some personal gain. If the personal gain is on someone else's person - I say enjoy being fucked in the ass.
I guess you have to deal with some stray bricks in the backyard if you want a freaking cottage.
