If you fully knew yourself, it'd be unflattering from the outside! We're motivated by insecurity, fear, petty competition, worthlessness.
To realize this and own these things without shame is incredible and admirable - and we shouldn't mock ppl who admit these things publicly.

But when you get there then you can be freed from being motivated by those things because you made them conscious, you know better now, this is the point of jungian psychology (I think). Why would anyone keep a behaviour after they learned it's rooted in fear or insecurity?

eh, i find that people who love to admit their faults freely are people who don't ever improve themselves because we're supposed to admire how brave they are just to have self-refection
they fuck up again and say "hey you knew i was a pos when you accepted me as i was—deal."

Perhaps to shamelessly indulge in the proclamation of one's own flaws, allows one to absolve themselves of responsibility for shortcomings, and therefore hindering the likelihood of learning. A form of mockery might act as a failsafe in this instance.

What do you think fully knowing yourself would look like? I would think if you're self aware enough to know your true feelings and motivations you'd also be aware enough to compensate and not come off like a creep.
