I have on occasion been honestly impressed with my past self upon having forgotten that I ever said or did some thing re: in the present moment, maybe sportsmen know what it's like when they score a winning goal and say "i dunno, I wasn't thinking" when interviewed about it

but even then if you ask them "are you impressed with yourself" i think the answer would often be something "eh, i've practiced a lot, and this happened, glad it did, cool, nice. thanks past me for training so hard and present me for letting it happen. cool cool"

Do you find you can surprise yourself in a negative sense? That's one I can pull off.
-
Yes, but then I wouldn't be impressed by myself.

One could be constantly impressed with oneself with the only surprise being yet-another confirmation where none could be reasonably expected... It helps that so many are correctly unimpressed with themselves

Sometimes I create something (it has only happened in fiction and code) where I only have a vague sense that it was me who did it. Like I was being remote-controlled. I can be impressed with the work, but maybe only because I have the sense that it wasn’t really me.

Seems like the crucial ingredient of surprise would be missing. I'd have to be in a really unprecedented situation to potentially surprise myself.
