Not visible from the inside
Our problems are hard to solve on our own, because we ourselves are part of the problem behind the symptom: it is within us, it is part of our personality. It cannot be seen from the inside, and it cannot be solved by approaching it from there.
What exists only in our heads
At the same time, certain situations and certain people who play a part in our lives affect us emotionally, and often at the level of our desires and needs as well. This can mean that we notice only the part of reality that is connected to these feelings and desires. As a result, we are capable of believing in a reality that exists only in our heads, and when we make decisions or behave according to it, we inevitably end up in a dead end.
