Everyone is unique. We all react differently to different things. Now, we think no one knows us like we do.. you know what we "actually" think, feel, want, need.. It's like we are two different people. The "real" us on the inside- deep deep inside.. And the "other" us we show to other people around us.
But when you actually think about it.. we never get to see that "other" self of ourselves. Other people do. We don't know what look like when we laugh so hard we start crying. We don't know how we look when we enjoy something, or when we get emotional. We never get to see ourselves in our natural state from the outside. Sure there are cameras and mirrors but it doesn't capture what people we love see everyday...you know those "moments" of us..
What do you think?

yeah, that's true, i agree. kinda scary to think about it... people see us as a completely different person then how we see ourselves.

You are very insightful. And I agree, I feel that we really don't see how others see us. Not only just "how" we look when we are experiencing different emotions, but we don't always know how we sound, how we come across to others, our attitudes, our subtle ways that others pick up on that indicate this or that. I think its a good habit to always listen carefully if someone is telling you something about you that is bothering them in some way because it may very well be one of the things about us that we don't see in ourselves. I have really done that, most notably over the last 10 years or so, I have really paid close attention to what others say to me about me. I have really learned a lot about how I come across to others, especially in a relationship, by doing this. I have also used the new insight to make self improvements and will hopefully always have the mind to continue to do so.
Good insight!

I think you have some very interesting thoughts here. You are right about us not seeing what others see. And I don't think most of us really know ourselves inside either. I never believed I would be doing what I'm doing now in my life. So I can't guess what I'll be doing yrs. from now. I don't really know myself. You are correct.

People say "no one knows me as well as I do" and I know 50 people that I know better than they know themselves! We are among the LAST people to realize we feel certain things!

Whoever you think yourself to be is just thought, and thought is virtual reality, not the real.

No, I don't think so.
I am learning new things about myself very so often.
