One of the most amazing things about individual people is their ability to understand other people, so much so they can predict another's behavior. I, however, lack this ability in whole. I can't remember a time in my life have I accurately predicted how someone would react to me, my actions or utterances or someone else's actions/utterances. I basically walk though life constantly being pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised by other people. And further, I am quite transparent to others myself. People will often explain what I am feeling to me because I seem inept at doing it on my own. I hate that ineptitude. It's ridiculous! What a terrible inconvienence, not being able to understand or interpret my own mental going-ons. Did I miss that part of self-actualization in my getting-to-know-myself teens? Or is this a byproduct of constant companionship for several years, where I was not challenged to make sense of myself because someone inherently knew what was going on and told me about it? Is this realization an excercise in rediscovering my independence from afore-mentioned relationship? I feel like this is something I have struggled with for a long time; like this is the reason I was so amazingly unpopular in my school years. Task for the self-improvement to-do list: get other people, and for Godsake, get myself (and yet i'm awesome at sociology -go figure)
ON a lighter note:What word do you know that uses the least letters but is pronounced with the most syllables? (this is not rhetorical, I know you people read this, my blog wants participation)
Example: Adagio- six letters, four syllables
