They say that knowing oneself and really understanding oneself is one of the most important things one can do in life. Many people don't take the time to do so. Also, our relationships with others our a reflection of the relationships we have with ourselves. In other words, our feelings toward other people are representative of the feelings we have toward ourselves.
So my question is are others necessary to help us understand ourselves?
Answers:
Answer by death from above
NO
Because I am not a compulsive liar and I'm dependable.
*edit*
Those who thumbed down my above comment are completely backwards because the persons closest to me is either a liar and the other SO undependable and flakey. So in which case I am NOT like that. Yes it has helped me discover things about myself that I am so much stronger, way more dependable, and easily honest. The flaws in my immediate relationship with these people does not mean I carry the flaws myself in which case I strongley disagree with the question. And I'm in a situation to where I cannot get rid of these people. The relationships are pretty poisonous and it drives me crazy that I have to be around it. I did NOT come into the situation knowing these things about these people, it was unrevealed or developed -after- knowing them. I do NOT purposely seek out trouble filled relationships.
