Knowing Other People

We think we know other people, but do we? How much of ourselves do we project onto others? I think we can only know another person as well as we know ourselves. We could meet someone of great depth and not realize it, because we haven't reached that level of depth in ourselves. What do you think?

I am very careful and concerned with the way I encourage REALationships. It took me many years to define the importance of getting to
K(NOW) someone and realizing why I did. After you get to K(NOW) someone you can ALL(ways) tell when they are sad are upset before they tell you. I think once you reach that point you UNDERSTAND how you feel or care about that person. How special and unique the friendship is. Not too many people have allowed me to go to those great depths but if a person was unwilling in some way I usually leave my door open to them just in case they want to dive in. Since I have good grasp on who I am there aren’t many people who feel uncomfortable or uncertain around me (I believe my father impressed this on me). I am an open book.

I think you've got a point there, Lightkeeper. Then again, I've known people who are very good at reading other people, but know very little about themselves.

If they don't know a lot about themselves, then they are probably projecting.

When it comes to meeting people face to face my first instincts about them tend to be accurate 95% of the time.

I think, if we don't know a person (at least here on RF) that is not because of any willingness to not know the person. I feel blessed by those forum members who feel free to share with me much about themselves, and treasure that information. Those forum members who would rather keep information private, I completely respect that. If there's anyone here trying to be someone their not, I would feel saddened, because I'd hope that they would know the rest of us well enough to know that we'd love them, no matter who they are. (I should give the obligatory warning: unless they're the disembodied brain of Hitler. That hasn't come up yet, but I always want to cover all bases.)
