just heard a term on the cbc tonight, which described perfectly the state of not being able to see yourself the way others see you. wish i could remember what it was...hitting my mid-thirties has made me ultra-conscious of this--my earlier devil may care attitudes have been found to be lacking. i've always had a strong fantasy life, and i've done a good job of projecting my mental milieu onto the outside world. nothing wrong with that, but it has taken me a little while to realize that eventually one has to be willing to change one's expectations, because the world certainly is not going to change to fit mine.
