@nprofile1q... [‐⚠️I’m being a smartass.‐]The observer can't be observed by the same observer.It can be observed by a very similar one, though. You²⁰²⁶ can observe yourself²⁰²⁵, and this observation will affect you²⁰²⁷. The three are different people in different circumstances, with different health and (in the best case) different views on life.
By this procedure (if it includes properly ordered self-reflection) you can discover that you haven’t "always been like this". It becomes not as much a task of changing oneself, as accepting that changes have indeed occurred and tracking, studying them. In this sense, you can be (and are) your own "mirror".
So, what I’m saying is, thoseother peoplefυςκ ’em.
