Sometimes I feel that it is fun to watch and observe different personalities and character traits in ourselves. If you are self conscious and self aware, we would definitely know how we react, how we behave, what decisions we take, the way we choose in different circumstances in life. But the same time if you are not a very conscious then you are casual drifter in life you wouldn’t have observed anything and you would believe that everything happens because of external circumstances and nothing happens because of your beliefs, values, thoughts and internal biological environment. Now if you believe that everything happens because of you and take accountability for your life then you can actually observe your subconscious brain forcing you and compelling you to do so certain things that actually are not in your best interest but those patterns are created for your protection at various stages of life.
If you can observe your behaviours with awareness as different people and have a conversation with them, then you may negotiate a deal to do things that you need to do rather then craving for instant pleasure and running away from pain.
