Is self-awareness a superpower?

The more I understand myself, the more I understand others. It began with a journey to get past deep depression and suicidal thought/actions. Along that path, I discovered I didn't know myself. The thoughts in my head were imprinted and hard-wired as information from others was downloaded to my brain along the way. My thoughts were not my own. We all survive and/or thrive with basically the same operating system between our ears. The more I discovered how I operated and thought, the more understanding I had of the other folks I interacted with. As I progressed on my journey, and began to understand myself, I stopped running from myself, and others. I discovered that the unexplored side of me wasn't so scary. I discovered that most of the things I disliked about myself, I could change. Understanding myself and having the courage to look at myself in an honest way, gave me the courage to face others with that same courage and curiosity. The awareness I have gained through self-exploration has given me insight into others. Is this a super power? I don't know. But the world is no longer a scary place for me. I no longer shy away from interactions with others, in fact, I seek it out. I no longer hide from myself. I no longer hide from others. I see the possibilities in the world. I know I would not have this courage had I not become self-aware...
