Extrospection

Extrospection: noun. Extrospection is the act of examining one's own outward appearance and behaviour. Without realising it, most if not all people extrospect themselves on a daily basis. The mere act of looking into a mirror is extrospection (that is, unless the given individual happens to be a vampire). Often, people also attempt to analyse how they themselves behave while, for example, interacting with other people. Consequently, people who are very extrospective in this regard are sometimes mistakenly called introspective, though admittedly, it is true that people who deem it important to extrospect their actions also tend to introspect their feelings. It is thus rare for an extrospective person not to be introspective and vice versa.
