People will have an altered idea of who you are unless they really take time to get to know you, which of course they don’t. They just get what they see, and they take that to the bank.
Meaning of the quote
People often make assumptions about you based on how you look or act on the surface. Unless they take the time to truly understand you as a person, they will have a distorted idea of who you really are. However, most people don't bother to get to know you deeply. They just see the parts of you that are visible, and they believe that's all there is to you. They take this limited perception as the full truth about you.
