Hi Strychnine,

This is a fantastic piece. The title is direct and enigmatic at the same time. The title states clearly that the piece is about the irony of self-perception but not what this irony is. The reader is anxious to know more and will begin to read immediately to find out. You launch into the piece without introduction or preamble. This takes all the reader's attention and focuses it completely on the topic and the piece. They will read to the last word. You have written about the difference between how you see yourself and how others see you. The reader is delighted with the look they get at you as a person as well as a writer. The length is perfect. You completely develop your topic without belaboring the issue and making the piece tedious. You use an aggressive style that is very appealing to the reader. Great job.
