how do i get to know myself better?

Question

iam a bit self centered and shy not so ccnfident with myself and people i meet,

Answer 1

You know al;ready who you are and try to make yourself more outgoing and you can ask your friends or families about your personality,whatever comes out from their mouth, that is you exactly!

Answer 2

Sounds like you know yourself pretty well already. The trick is to become comfortable with yourself. Work to improve the things you don't like so much. You will gain self confidence if you like and trust yourself. Sounds weird, I know. But if you can become less self-centered when you meet new people. If you work to be less self-centered in the eyes of others you will trust yourself more and be more comfortable.
By the way, we are all self-centered to one degree or another. That's a good thing usually. In the most basic sense it keeps us alive when we are in danger. Self preservation can take many forms and has many degrees. You can learn to control that though. You can learn to put others first. Not to worry.

Answer 3

If your serious, try talking with neighbors and others you know making eye contact and force yourself to talk more. Read a topic and news paper and talk about that as if you have a genuine interest in it and see how far the conversation goes. This will allow you to sample the waters. Speak to the most attractive person you run into in the store make sure you smile, and appear confident, ask for someones opinion about cloths while in the clothing department this will help get you out of your shell. Hey if it helps you write me back.

Answer 4

I think you need to first let become more confident within yourself.What you need to remember is that other people you meet maybe shy to begin with but as you get to know a person then that shyness disappears..Everybody can be self centered at some point you just have to remind yourself that there are other people and their feelings to consider.The more people you meet the more your confidence will grow......Good luck.

Answer 5

Meditate

Answer 6

It's not about getting to know yourself, it's about accepting who you are. You already know who you are, listen to your heart. I spent 2 years in highschool trying to fit in with the "preppy kids". I never quite fit in or felt like I belonged. Then I finally realized, I'm not a preppy kid. I started hanging out with the skaters. I was able to talk to them easier. I felt more at home, they liked what I liked, I was happier. Once you find your place in life, and you accept yourself for who you are (even if you're a star wars geek) you'll find people (other star wars geeks) that will make you happy. Trying to be something you're not will only lead to dissapointment. My friend once told me, make every place your place, who cares if you're the only one in your place, at least you're happy!

Answer 7

umm well i can compare myself to that .......im just like you and one of the things i do is find friends and try new things for example music...try new music that you never herd and see if you like it....or clothing you know things like that and about the shy part the only way you'll take that away is if you trust people once you do you'll see that you wont seem as shy......and confident well do you like yourself?...if you do then just put yourself out there!

Answer 8

i went and did a counselling course. most adult education places offer them. they help you to unlock yourself, and you get a qualification into the bargain.

or why not join a local club or group or something?

write down all the good things about yourself and stick it to your mirror. say them out loud to yourself every morning and then when you meet others say them in your head to yourself and eventually you will start to show the confidence on the outside.

Answer 9

Pray

Answer 10

Do some meditation. Then when you do or say certain things your brain will have trained itself to recognise what is going on, what the triggers for your behaviours are.
