If I was a mind reader, my job would be both much easier and less interesting.
True, we can only ever fully understand our own selves and our own minds. I'm the only person who would make every choice I've made, and so are you. Even another version of myself, as fanciful as that sounds, wouldn't be one that I could wholly comprehend.
That said, even though perspectives and perceptions will always differ between the other and the self, I do believe we can come as close as possible to understanding what drives one another. "We," generally speaking, all humans - but also "we," you and I. That's what we're doing right now, isn't it?
May I still answer your original question to the best of my ability? It won't put you in my shoes, but maybe it will bring you closer to where I stand.
