Self Perception vs. Perception of Others

Today's topic won't be about black holes unfortunately. Recently Brian has posted a comment on another blog post I had and he had asked the question, why do our own experiences come less naturally to us than the experiences of others? While Brian probable posted this question without thinking it would be answered, I will try anyway. This question bugged me for about 3 hours while I tried to come up with something. I guess I came up with something, although it may or may not be true, it's still fun to ramble about.

Humanity is naturally a curious race, according to science, we observe the world around us. It never mentions anything about self observation simply because it's harder. In the physical sense, it's easier to look at someone else's back instead of your own. It's always easier to see things about others, than it is to see things about ourselves. Mentally, it all has to do with bias. When we think about ourselves we have a bias toward ourselves. We either think we suck or we're amazing. Usually the in between is harder to come by, but it can happen. With this bias that we suck or that we're amazing, we tend to strongly lean over to one side of the topic. Also for ourselves, we don't have a rush, we know we will be with ourselves for the rest of our lives, because of this, people don't think about themselves as much as they think about others. If it's someone else, we tend to have much less bias toward them and it's easier to see all their faults and strengths without any hesitation, whether they see it or not. We also don't know how much time we will spend with others so we rush to see what we can pull from them. Lastly it's human nature to benefit ourselves, we seek others only to see how we can benefit ourselves, as a result we tend to judge others much more extremely than ourselves, we have the given that we already know ourselves so we don't tend to judge ourselves. Everything tends to tie back to our nature as animals.
