You're Probably Not As Self-Aware As You Think You Are (But You Could Get Better At It)

"'On a good day, 80 percent of us are lying to ourselves about whether we're lying to ourselves,' [psychologist and author Tasha] Eurich says. Making things extra tricky is the fact that self-awareness has two components: Internal self-awareness is the ability to introspect and recognize your authentic self, whereas external self-awareness is the ability to recognize how you fit in with the rest of the world. 'It's almost like two different camera angles,' Eurich says. ... To be truly, fully self-aware, you need both components - a feat that's difficult to pull off for pretty much anyone. But, it's worth noting, not impossible."
