Jumbled thoughts on self-reflection

Self-reflection is not something I struggle with in my life.
I am highly aware of myself, and others.
I can see the right, and the wrong, in myself.
Often this means I also see myself compared to others, too much.

I know how to analyze everything from every angle. 
People always tell me I should've been a lawyer. 
I can be objective, unfeeling even, about almost any issue or idea.
I can argue for or against anything, no matter what my personal opinion.

All this, well...

...It makes me a good debater.
...It makes me a strong thinker.
...It makes me a rational, reasonable, logical decision-maker.

...It makes me terrible at sympathizing.
...It makes me awful at spontaneity.
...It makes me horrible at trusting.

I have been doing a lot of self-reflection lately.  There is a lot about me that the world never sees.  There is a lot about me that only I see.  The hardest thing is getting the world to see the parts that I see that I think are worthy of the world's scrutiny and acceptance.  But maybe it doesn't matter.  Maybe all that matters is what I think of those parts of myself.
