Somehow I completely missed this one. And I really enjoyed Suki na Ko ga Megane o Wasureta too, so I have no excuse for missing it.
The one that Boku dake ga Shitterun daze most often reminds me of is Ninja Shinobu-san no Junjou. There’s a surface similarity since both FMCs essentially have secret identities, but I think it’s more about the MMCs, who are both extremely earnest and surprisingly brave, and who both pay very close attention in order to try to work out what would be the best thing for them to do for the FMC, so that they can then do it. And yeah - there’s a lot of psychology involved, because both FMCs don’t even really understand themselves all that well. They’re both sort of split between their worldly personae, who are consummate professionals and not much else, and their private “real” personae, who are incredibly inexperienced and naive and thus delicate.
