It's an interesting thing. Almost everyone is concerned about how they appear to others in the sense not only of appearance, but of personality. And a big part of one's personality is how you interact with people in conversation. Yet few people are aware of how they may appear to others in conversation. That is, do we come across as shy, arrogant, bombastic, overly talkative, rude, etc.?
A good book to help with this situation is First Impressions: What You Don't Know About How Others See You, by Ann Demarais, PhD, and Valerie White, PhD. I found the book to be an excellent mixture of good social psychology and practical information.
