It's like the old trope, where someone confides in a friend that they are worried that they are going crazy, and the friend tells them not to worry. People who are crazy don't bother to ask if they're crazy.
Self inquiry is, IMO, a cornerstone of self regulation. If you're asking questions you're already well on your way. If you're not you won't notice that self-help articles even apply to you. (In fact I think of most self-help advice is, at best, milestones that you can't recognize until you've gone past them. It can tell you how far you've gone and when you've made a wrong turn, but it doesn't actively help you get where you're going. It's all up to you).

Is that commonly true or ~always true?
