Agreed. I stopped worrying what people think too. This is in part because a whole host of people I have probably embarassed myself in front of over time will either have forgotten I exist, not known me in the first instance, or regularly tease me about said incidents in the pub over a friendly pint.
If I were to discuss what reputations you had, pfff, I dunno. I would like to believe people think you are generous because you are, especially with your time and your wheels. I would hope people recognise you as smart and funny. You have a tendency towards self-induced catatonia but I am sure that only applies to Saturday mornings, household chores and your family when you know you can get away with it.
I agree with Drabbit's summaries re:general reputation. I know I am regarded in some quarters as hard working, others as absent, others as very supportive and others again as hard nosed and intolerant. Reputation certainly is context dependent.
