Self-awareness in Understanding Others
People often project their feelings and behaviors onto others, assuming that if they feel bad, others must also feel the same. This can be observed in situations like parents being concerned about their children's social media use, as they might be addicted themselves and feel bad about their own usage. The speaker highlighted their personal experience of feeling bad while using social media, particularly Twitter, and how they realized the impact it had on their emotions. Additionally, the speaker shared a valuable insight from their psychoanalyst about how most conversations revolve around the speaker themselves, emphasizing the challenge of understanding others' perspectives.
