Why do things always sound so much more legitimate coming out of other people's mouths? I'm always much more inclined to believe something if it's coming from the lips of another than if it was formulated in my own head and voiced with my voice. I wonder why that is. My first insticnt was to think thaty maybe it was lack of faith in my own judgment. But I think it's more subtle than that.
I think it's that when I formulate an answer, I know in my own head what is flawed. Meaning, what parts of answers I'm basing on things I don't actually know, what parts are my own opinion, what parts I may be remembering incorrectly. I know the integrity of my answers, andI don't quite know if the good outweighs the bad. All these things are things that only I know when I open my mouth, and maybe I put too much stock in them when I offer an answer. It's not life or death, for goodness sakes.
Than again, maybe I'm just afraid of being wrong.
