we do not see ourselves as others see us. i think most of us are misunderstood in one way or the other, or we think we are. alot of times we dont want to see the real us, because weve already fabricated what we think we are, and its easier to see our selves in that light. when looking at others, we have nothing to lose.

I find it is easier to understand and accept the behavior of others then it is to accept my own behavior. I think we set higher standards for our selves then we do for others.

Because we see others from the outside looking in. We don't have defenses that come to life when we are looking at others and we believe we are so unique.

i think its just that its scarier to anaylse yourself because your scared of what you will find out about yourself. whether what you have done may disapoint you or finding reasons for how you are may be difficult dragging back up again.
