Well, on paper yeah, in reality I'm quite lazy with following the principals I set for myself.
It's quite easy to make myself look better in text than I really am, so I do it often unconsciously, but I still strive towards becoming closer and closer to what I would want to be.
Also I'm very good at looking at myself in the 3rd person and through that trying to act accordingly to how I would want someone who I would look up to, to act.
This doesn't make me a super human though, I still make mistakes and end up thinking back like "Why, oh why did I act like that back in there".
It's harder, even borderline impossible for me to see myself in the 3rd person while writing
It sounds to me like you're well on the right track, and a lot farther down it than many others.
Thanks 😊
