This one is tricky but can be quite useful. There are times when someone is in a conversation with you, and they’re not aware of what they’re doing. This is the part where you can get it right on the fly and leave the rest to your brain.
Well, this is true. We can’t always remember everything we say or do, and that can lead to a bit of confusion. It’s also more common with people who have to do things out of context. Because we have to do things out of context we tend to forget our words, and when we’re talking to someone and we don’t have the context we can start to get confused.
So in this situation we just have to be aware of the context so that we dont get confused as well. We need to be aware of what were saying because we cant read out of a text. We need to be reading in the right place as well. You can have one of those conversations where we talk about things that arent in context, that we forget about. If we didnt forget, then you wouldnt still be talking, and you both wouldn’t have a conversation.
I think that there are two types of people who are confused at this point: those who just don’t understand the difference between off-screen and off-camera, and those who just dont seem to understand that the second one is the main one. I think the first type of people probably know what off-screen and off-camera are, but they just don’t know how to explain it to the other person.
I think it comes down to perspective. When you’re working on a project, you have a point of view. You can’t see the rest of the room. You can only see your own work in that room. So you try to imagine something else, and you see things through the eyes of another.
The problem with being off-camera is that you have to take a lot of cues from the person working with you to know what to do. When youre working off-camera, I can help. But when I’m working on a project I have to figure things out my self. I also need to be able to ask for help. So I need to be as self-aware as I can.
This may sound obvious, but I think this is one of those things that is very, very tough to teach to someone who has never been in a situation where they weren’t at their own best. A lot of times I have to ask myself, “Am I really here?” because I seem to be off-camera.
I can’t help but wonder if the first time I asked you to do something that was self-aware, I would have just done it. I think that’s what happened in the beginning.
So while I can understand the desire to be self-aware, I can’t help but wonder how many of us really are. The reason I ask is because I don’t want to be that guy. If I am, then I have to be the world’s worst person and the world will be the worst place. I would be really bad at letting myself be self-aware.
We are all self-aware in one way or another. We can’t hide it.
