E.G Yes, I understand what you mean, but I also don't think I'm articulating it very well. I suppose what I mean is that interaction with people reflect my thoughts more so than sitting alone to trying to make sense of them in my head.

Thanks for sharing that Syberdelic. It's funny because I consider myself to be introverted, which is often mistakenly confused with shyness. This has to some degree made me force myself to interact with people more as it can be all to easy to withdraw and get lost in your own private world.

It is difficult to think about how people perceive you without being a little paranoid but I think what I ended up doing was just putting words in to their mouths based on how i believed they perceived me but really it's just myself talking to myself.

For me it seems like the people in my life each play a role that reflect my thoughts back to me as each represent a facet of my personality. I feel I have made a similar discovery of seeing myself through this lens of interaction.
