Take for instance personal relationships. The reason they feel so good is because you feel you are connecting with another person, not yourself. But at the same time, you feel you are with your other half, that in reality you really are them and they are you.

Other people are the trickest part of SR, but the puppet analogy is egoism.
When you see yourself as a puppet
also, just like everyone in your awareness, then it is better.
Your body is just like all the other bodies in awareness, you just have better control over yours, but still have accessible control over others.
You start a conversation and the other person joins in, if they start a conversation, you actually started it, but from another angle, another access point or more precisely a different mirror point.
A mirror is a good way to sense SR, when you're looking out into the world, you see everything, but never you're eyes, you can never see your eyes. When you look in the mirror, you are creating a persona, like every other persona within your awareness. That image in the mirror is like all the other bodies out there, projections of consciousness, your consciousness.
SR is a noodle baker because the shift is intense. As a belief system it can be handy, because the responsibility is paramount. You can't escape responsibility in SR, because it's all of your creation.
I suspect that's why people don't like it, but if you accept full responsibility for everything then you can choose create anything for there really are no limits.
