How is it that I can understand everyone; yet, I fail to understand myself?

hm I find understanding others (which is a never ending process) is a great key to understanding myself better.

Because you don't spend enough time by yourself to get to know yourself better you're probably more focused on others time alone teaches you a lot about yourself.

Well I think through understanding others we are making an attempt to understand ourselves. To recognize good and bad behaviour in other people we have to be comparing that to our own behaviour patterns.

Well you're one up on me... I don't even understand other people.

It takes time. You'll get there and come to accept the person you are.

that's the person youll be questioning till the day you die

I hear ya *hugs!
