Questions of Self

[kirby1024]

In the last few days, I've been noticing that I'm becoming very interested in myself. Or, perhaps more correctly, in seeing myself through the eyes of others. In seeing what people see in me, in part or in whole. In seeing me in novel settings, seeing me in ways that I can't see myself in real life. Taking me apart, finding the important bits of me

Knowing how we appear to others allows us to modify our behaviour and/or appearance and/or anything else that we would like to improve in the opinions of others.

PLUS, as you already mentioned, it is an opportunity for self exploration. We only are the sum of the people around us, and all that.

Blah blah blah, I am way sleep deprived so this probably made no sense.

I think the best questions are the ones you are too scared to answer.

Like "why aren't you using the icon I made you?"... Nah just kidding :)

I believe those questions are merely a subset of the previous category. In fact, they're... more difficult, because half the time you're so scared of the answer you don't let yourself ask the question. As such, they're rather hard to contemplate in a productive manner by yourself.

As for the second comment, I don't know what on earth you mean... ;)

LMAO! Wonderful... I have validation! Yay! :)

I agree about the questions... my psychologist always asked me questions that sounded rhetorical but then you realised in horror they weren't and that you didn't want to answer them...
