The adjacent possible

Questions I asked in one note, answered by a passage from another I never linked it to. The two are paired by a measure of how close they sit in meaning, and both are quoted as I wrote them.

What are the possible blind spots in this argument?

I am a veteran in writing about the things I want to say in obscured language. Almost always, I free myself of the things I want to say by saying them in such a way that only shows the fringes of the idea that I want to communicate. What I write are silhouettes of expression. Mainly, and most probably because I am not ready to admit that what I am about to say is directly referenced by the type of person that I am.

I watched Dr. K's video about teaching introverts how to be charismatic and I feel like what he's getting at has been a type of self-awareness that I had been trying to communicate yesterday. He talked about "self-referential processing," which is a brain activity that triggers "being self-conscious of oneself" (I did not use "self-awareness" to avoid confusion about the active awareness of the self in the moment)…

What would the first say to the second?
