I think it takes time and an intimate relationship to get to know "all" of a person, or as much as we can. I don't think friends or coworkers can know all of "me" unless they are/have been friends for a long time. A sense of me can be gotten; I'm always intelligent, creative, amusing, critical, etc. and that can be seen in all my roles but unless you know my background, where I'm coming from, my interests and goals, I think a deeper appreciation of me

will be missing for you.
