Do we see others as we ourselves are?
If I assume that we assume that each of us is a conscious self, am I also assuming a proof to come of this as absolute transparency in such matters? One of the first questions that I remember having was "how do people know who eachother are?". But being so new to life , how could I have anything to compare to? Yet I did, but I can no longer remember from where I came. It is easy to forget... the physical projection of my thoughts always seems to only be interpreted in a skewed reflection by others....but now almost out of habit, I also interpret as I assume others to be... how do I see things as they are without assuming a false reality? How many people live in their Illusion of a shadow of their own doing?

I think we see ourselves not as we are but as we want to see ourselves, while still bearing in mind the way we truely are. I believe we see slightly better versions of who we really are, unless you suffer from a mental condition in which you see yourself as a worse version of who you really are. How you see someone is most likely not how the other individual views themselves as. My perception of myself and who I am are never in a state of homeostasis. There a few, albeit rare, when I view myself in a more positive aspect, however not that great, and not to the point that it would lead to co ckiness or a sense of confidence. I have depression, and tend to see in a more negative aspect.
