We are all a little wrong about ourselves simply because we lack objectivity. We live inside our skin and fashion narratives which allow us to sleep at night. Many are correct but there is undoubtedly considerable fabrication built in to cobble together a consistent storyline; at least one which we can defend.
Without doing this we wouldn't be able to make sense of our lives.
Maybe the best antidote to this myopia is to question ourselves and our motives repeatedly. We second guess before we accept the first version of a storyline that we have created.
Today I have more time to reflect than ever and try to make sense of lived history as I gain more insight into human nature which includes my own.
We continue to be students of ourselves because we want to improve.
