BeeT, I don't know your circles well enough to say what your reputation is, but I do know I once went searching to see what mine was. It was astonishing how differently others viewed me from how I viewed myself. Initially I made quite some effort to "correct" their views, but at some point I realized what they thought I was still wasn't truly me. Also, sometimes I would have rather liked to be the person they saw! So eventually I quit worrying about it. The only constants I found were: those who disliked me wouldn't give me any information, and those who did like me were going to see me from a very interestingly different perspective.
Dunno if that helps -- just my two cents' worth. :)
