I'm really into self-observation and learning about why we are the way we are. I find behaviour to be quite fascinating.

Different is good
A person might look at your life and tell you that things should be different. That you should have pursued a different sort of career, that you should have more friends, that your relationships with certain people in your life should look a certain way.
