Yes, I'm probably one of those two. I've increasingly turned to analysing myself as I get older. I've become more aware of how easily I can get things wrong, and how I'm still kind of a mystery even to myself. It's like I'm slowly learning about myself.
The interesting thing is when someone else can tell something about me, before I've realised it myself. I'll often tell them they're wrong. But a bit later, on reflection, I realize they weren't wrong.
Not always, of course. People talk absolute shit too.
Especially over the last year, I've learnt the value of listening to how others see me. It allows me a more-objective view of myself. Had I not listened to Harmz, I would never have come to grips with my drinking problem, and to be fair, she was utterly patient in the face of my denialism.
I owe my new direction in life to her, in large measure, and even though we've broken up she will always hold a special place in my heart for that.
