Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• People who know me keep pointing at some pattern in me that I genuinely can’t see in myself
• I’m sure everyone is cataloguing my flaws, but if I’m honest I couldn’t tell you a single thing about what the person next to me on the train was wearing or whether they messed anything up
• I can spot my pattern perfectly afterward, but in the moment I’m so fused with it that I just am the reaction
• The same painful thing keeps happening to me in totally different situations
• I catch myself scanning everyone around me for what’s wrong with them, and I want to flip that lens
