Self examination

How do we come across with other people? Do others think we are self righteous, that I am right and everybody else is wrong, or are we people that care, that put others first, and not worried about what others are like. Hopefully my own life I am not self righteous, and through self examination, I can see areas that are wrong, and a striving to bring about a change. I believe if we look at the self sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and in his life we have an excellent role model for our lives.
