Meaning, that you are essentially an occasion for their forming a mental image that they believe represents you.  The opinions people have are based on their personality, their biases, their representation of the world, their limited perception of a wider picture that is your personal reality, etc. They are the coloured glasses they wear when viewing you. You should listen to what they say, then move a step back and ponder on it. First of all, you should have a pretty good idea of who you are and what you stand for -- then opinions become mere opinions and nothing more.
