Opponents who are well-read and familiar with the game will see you based on your actions. Opponents who are already at a higher level and have played more hands with you and seen more showdowns will have a more complete view.
It's a great move in poker to notice yourself, to understand how you're acting and to deduce how they see you and take advantage of that.
Let's say you've bluffed twice in a row, and the hands are helping, then a premium hand comes along, you go out there and act aggressively again, because your opponents already have an image that you're playing more hands than you should, and they'll probably call your premium hand. Another example is, there are very few strong hands coming along and you haven't played any hands in two orbits, so you have a pseudo-conservative image, you take advantage of that to bluff and win a big pot.
This issue of balance between value and bluff and image is already a great start to improving your game.
