We think we know who we are and are consious of what the outside world sees we are. But in reality we can't fully see who we are for the full 100 procent. A theory backing this up is the Johari window wich tells us that there are four dimensions.
1. The person we keep to ourself and none sees but you.
2. The person we are that is invisible to self and others.
3. The person we are that others and you see both.
4. The person we are but we don't see, but others do.
I mainly mean point number 4 in this subject.
we can't fully see and comprehend our full identity even tough we like to believe we do. Others can help to uncover the blind spot in our vision, wich is why it's important to open up to others words and listen to their judgement. Alltough their judgement might not allways feel justified or driven by emotion in a unreasonable way, in some occasions they are holding you a mirror that shows who you are and what effect you have on the world around you.
Our consious is but a small fragment of our reality.
