[curiosity] self-knowledge, self-awareness

[wispfox]

Random bits of questions, more or less related to other conversations I'm having elsewhere. I'll reply to the things I ask in a comment.


-Do things in your head sometimes surprise you?

-If things in your head ever surprise you, how do you handle it?


-Do you feel like you know yourself very well?

-If you don't feel like you know yourself very well, do you want to? Do you feel like it affects your life in any way (positive or negative)?


-Do you feel like it's important to check in with the stuff in your head regularly, or are you confident that you will know about changes in your head when they happen?

-Do you feel the need to share changes in your head with other people? If so, who (names not needed; their relationships to you would probably be useful), and why? If not, and if you can explain it, why not?

[edit: I'm asking this because I'm curious as to how other people's brains might work in this regard]

I didn't say it was reasonable! But yeah, that's an example of something that can stick in my head that isn't currently in line with reality. I'm broad, and tallish, and it is sometimes hard to find clothes that fit and flatter my body. Also, I have a level of bodyfat that is higher than it really should be if I want to be healthy (and I do have to be aggressively healthy, since everyone in my family dies young, of heart disease). It's at the upper limit, anyway. So, to be safe, it should be lower. And then, my little belly wouldn't pooch out whenever I button my pants. :)
