It is normal to intuitively understand myself?

I hear a lot of people say that they have a hard time understanding their feelings, and even those who understand themselves seem to have to introspect before they gain self-knowledge.

But I have always had access to that information "automatically". If I do, feel, or think something, I will always fully understand the reason why, without having to really think about it. I've always been this way. It's why I've always found therapy to be incredibly boring and useless, as I'm being told things that I already know. I just haven't realized til recently that it may not be normal.

There was one time I can remember that I didn't know that I was feeling/acting a certain way until after the fact. It was a shock for me when I realized.

I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way. I really am curious to see if it's a normal thing or not - I realize that my experiences with other people are limited, so I might not have the full picture.
