Introspection

I was thinking about how differently we can appear to one person or to another. Occasionally, we put on different faces, it's true. You behave differently depending on whether you talk to your boss, to your client, to your colleague, to your mother, to your friend, or to your aunt. We need to behave differently because each one knows us from a different aspect. In fact, the whole of "one", of the Ego is only truly known to ourselves. And in fact, do we really know who we are? It's a difficult question... it all depends on perception and perception differs from one person to another.

The concept of introspection is new and is very well... unreliable. How objective can one be about oneself? And why is it that if you behave the same way towards friend A or friend B, that A perceives you differently than B? Is it because the sensitivities of A are different from B? Does one need more care than the other? And if A perceives you differently, should you care?

Again, more random thoughts, and this time, on a rainy day... But I'd be curious to hear what you guys think, or if you've read something that you deem interesting. Introspection is all about perception, and both are difficult concepts to grasp.
