Do you really know who you are?

Question

Have you ever thought that you may not even know yourself?

i know who I AM im asking about u. it's just a weird concept really to sometimes think when you think you know who u are u surprise yourself or may be shocked yea

Answer 1

Yeah I know who I am, I sometimes do surprise myself though with the things I do. Like sometimes I'd act in ways I'd never thought I could.

Answer 2

Yes,
In society we are forced to wear many hats. You have to behave differently in different situations. When you're in church you will act much more differently than when your with your friends at a party. Sometimes when we start thinking about these things we start questioning who we really are. But it's a good thing, if your humble than you may be content, if you're arrogent or mean like the first guy that left an answer here, than this is the time to reflect and better yourself.

Answer 3

GOOD QUESTION!!

Very few know themselves, others might say Yes I do know myself, the quesiton is HOW WELL YOU KNOW YOURSELF?

According to "Shelly Ray" an Editor with 3SmartCubes.com

why self-awareness is so important. Well, it is often said that increased self-knowledge and human happiness are inextricably linked - from one follows the other. Which come to think of is very true. It's hard to feel satisfied with life if we have confused as to who we really are. It's only from that deep understanding of self that we experience true bliss & contentment.

If we are highly self-aware then we shall be aware of our strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes. We would be then choosing careers, jobs & relationships accordingly. Hence we greatly reduce the chances of us meeting with disappointment. It's a lot about making informed decisions. We are informed about ourselves, hence we make correct decisions.

Self-awareness does not happen by simply spending time thinking about yourself. You need to ask yourself the right questions to get those all-important right answers. You need to go about this in a healthy way so that you don't end up at the other extreme which is being obsesses with yourself.

This is a simple test to proved you know yourself, At this point in time you can take this test on line. (By Shelly Ray) This will proved how well you knowself.

Answer 4

I can't tell you yet, because i am only 20 years old and to young to know. I believe we all discover who we are when we are older. I'd say when I hit my mid 30's because of the fact is people change.
Like say a 26 year old black guy who has never been racist against white people is walking along some street late at night when all of a sudden a group of white punks jumps him. Now this guy is going to be racist for the rest of his life because of this incident, and he aint going to be the same person he once was, all because of one bad experince. My point is that people change. I am sorry if i can't give you a yes or no answer, but i just don't know.

Answer 5

Who I am! would you really date yourself if you really knew of all the issues within! HMMM

Answer 6

It took me 40+ years to find out but YES I know who I am, and guess what I like me and I don't care if people like me. You must first ask yourself if you love/like yourself and once you can say you do then it is much easier to like others. Remember ladies it is often misconstrued that when a lady is confident, self reliant and speaks her mind people think she is a *****. They are just jealous because they do not have the knowledge of themselves to be confident in what they say and feel.

Answer 7

This is really weird, but yeah...recently I feel like I've lost my identity because I moved 900 miles away from my friends and family and I'm losing my personality because I don't have any people here that I can be my real self around. I feel like I'm two different people, depending on who I'm with.

Answer 8

Yeah I've had moments like that. It means that I HAVE to take time to figure things out for a while, then get back in the game and be content that I can't know everything (even about myself).

Answer 9

I know myself better every day that passes.

But no,as a general rule,I have worked very hard on the self awareness I DO posess,so I don't feel totally in the dark about myself.

Answer 10

Cogito Ego Sum!
