Some may say, "You do not _become__ anything, the only thing that matters is how you are perceived..."

These people are shallow, two-faced lying jackals; but also probably wield more power than you - which means you cannot inform them of how _you_ perceive _them_

This is the way of the world.

However: anyone worth anything will recognize you by your actions, and be willing to accept the truth if your reputation precedes you.

I value action more than appearance, and that’s what I was concerned with in my question. I seem fatally incapable of most actions. I think I’m locked into some awful path and am literally incapable of escaping it.

Thanks for your reply.
