Self identifying soil

I was thinking about the parable of the sower that Jesus tells. It's here if you're not familiar with it.

I pondered, do people who walk away from their faith, recognise which type of soil they are?

Do they say... I was the shallow soil that had my seed of faith scorched!

Or, do they acknowledge... My belief in God was choked as the thorns of life crept in.

I wonder, would it be a positive thing for the person to see this is the case. And, would this stir the desire to change your standing before the sower?
