Can other people know us better than we know ourselves?
Language
Human Sciences
Memory
people have observed who we are versus who we’ve become
Others know us better than ourselves because we don't want to acknowledge our changes and possible flaws. Therefore we don't understand how much we have grown/achieved,
Sense Perception
People can hear and understand our thoughts through our voice/tone
Even though we ourselves can have some control over how we sound, other people pick up on it faster. And are able to determine our feelings solely through voice. The intention behind our voice may not be accurate (communication breakdown)
People in our everyday lives begin to understand us and know us on a deeper level because they know how we are going to react when personally we don't. We try to determine how we react and say we know but there's always going to be someone calling us out on our actions.
Ethics
Emotion
people can't make assumptions of who someone is (counterargument)
Cases where someone was wrongfully accused
We know ourselves better because of our personal experiences and trauma which has influenced our lives in different aspects.
Other people can't understand why it is we behave the way we do or even have certain beliefs that seem opposing/different/.
Reason
Humans create their own perspective which excludes the million they encompass
We don't like to hear our own voice because it's not what we have perceived it to be.
Other people observe and understand how we behave in various environments/ situations while we like to believe that we are always the same.
We present the best of ourselves and have created our own perspective of ourselves with specific characteristics. However others have created multiple perspective based on experiences.
