I mused on misconceptions I have of myself. I used to think of myself as outgoing and gregarious. As I got older, I found the truth is, I am a hermit. Even in crowds, I would be all alone. It showed me how we could be fooled by self, thinking we are other than what we really.

What is worst, I thought, being fooled by self, misconception of self or fooled by others.

Fooled by self because without self knowledge, one cannot grow.
