My personal experience

Having always been a high achiever myself.  When I went through a divorce it was a major blow to my pride, self-esteem. 

I started taking things personally, got increasingly defensive and argumentive.  These growing emotions and reactions (that I couldn't see!) were subtly undermining every area of my life.

In 1997 it felt like I was fighting with everyone, so I started to keep notes of everything that annoyed me from others.  I humbly began realizing that I did all those things to other people to some degree or in the past.

With increasing self awareness I focused on connecting with others, and getting beyond the b.s. that was upsetting me.

Through getting to know myself so honestly, I have come to understand others.
