The Sentient Mirror Phenomenon

The observation, activated by self-awareness, in which an individual recognizes their past, current or desired personality traits, characteristics, and/or behaviors in others, which is often used for the purpose of self-evaluation and improvement.

So you’re on your self-growth journey and realize—it’s not the universe sending you the same bum-ass, dusty goofies. It’s your reflection, your goofy traits showing up in these dusty people and you don't like what you see. That’s the Sentient Mirror Phenomenon.
