Are some guys truly not aware of their actions?

I asked my guy friend why he tends to be critical and a bit mean to me at times, his response was "I don't know".

How can he not know why he treats me the way that he treats me? Lol I don't understand...

Yeh, most of time most of people are not aware of their actions, they are not much self aware. Also not all are able to understand their emotions well. They don't know why they do what they do or what are they feeling inside. Sometimes they learn about themselves through others only, what they have never realised before they notice it only after others point it out. Sometimes some people even deny it when other says something about them because they are in illusion that they cannot behave this way. So yes all are not so much self aware about themselves. The person with high IQ, high EQ are more able to understand themselves better than the average person.

It's more we aren't aware of what others are thinking about our actions. We understand how objects behave when they are physically influenced. We have a harder time understanding how people behave when they are mentally influenced and, in fact, have a bit of a natural aversion to learning to understand, considering it cumbersome with too many moving pieces.

Most people- while aware of their actions- have no idea of the potential RE-actions of others to their original action. Nowadays, others are SOOOOOOOO full of this "anything you do better agree with my wants/needs/desires/thoughts" that it just make a logical-minded person sick!

It is because he talks to you like guys talk to each other.

thank you so much for being direct and simple lol. It makes sense. But why does he seem to do it more directly than other friends? With others, he is not as critical and hard towards them as he is to me?
