What do you call a person who lacks self-awareness-someone who moves through their own life without ever pausing to examine their own thoughts, flaws, or the impact they have on others? A person who does not reflect, does not question themselves, and rarely ever considers how their actions ripple outward into the lives of others.
While they may not always be cruel in intention, their indifference is still sharp enough to wound people. Sometimes they cause harm knowingly, with full awareness and no remorse for their actions. Other times, the damage is unintentional, collateral damage born from their carelessness, impulsivity, or an inability for them to empathize with others. Either way, trouble always seems to follow them, like a shadow they refuse to acknowledge.
They struggle to see themselves clearly. Accountability feels foreign to them. Empathy feels like it's optional to them, consequences are either exaggerated or unfair. The world is just something that happens to them-it's not something they shape or disturb.
So what do you do with someone like that?
Do you intervene and try to guide them towards self-reflection, hoping they might one day develop the awareness they lack? Do you challenge them, risking conflict in the process? Or do you step back and allow life itself to teach them through there own experiences-through loss, failure, and the relationships they build?
After all, every human being has a nature. Some grow through correction. Others only grow through consequence. And some may resist growth entirely.
The question is not only who they are-but rather-are they willing to become someone else?
