No way. I truly believe we really don't know ourselves that much. We learn every day something new, situations and events that change possibly how we feel and see things. Some of us have a hard time holding a mirror up to ourselves and confronting how we really appear to other people. It is the natural built in self defense to protect our self. If you answer this question to yourself honestly......you know we change with every second, we are so very complex....Its nothing bad its just the way we are extremely interesting.

I think that people can get really reallly close to knowing you. However, I am constantly learning something new about myself all the time.. so if even I dont really know me yet.. I doubt there is someone out there that knows me to a T yet either..
My best friends are the closest though.. and I would say they know me 90%.. the other 10% I am still working on...

,I think if you and that person connected deeply in some way, they can really know you. If one is always keeping up walls they will never be truly known. Trust between the individuals will determine true knowledge of that persons inner most thoughts and feelings. Wonderful question.

Yes and No.
I know this sounds like a bi-polar answer, but here is why:
People can think (and so can you) that you are showing your true self to someone...the thing is, people really do change, so whether you know it or not, the people who think they know you really don't. They can't.
It's actually a good thing. We barely know ourselves. It'd be freaky if someone else "really" knew us.

no i don't. because everyone grows emotionally, intellectually and socially depending on their surroundings. u may think u know someone well and may know allot about them but no one knows them as well as they suspect.
the reason for this is because we "ourselves" don't know ourselves as well as we may think. its all about circumstances. no one really knows what they r capable of until they r given the opportunity to see how they would respond in a given circumstance. also, how u react to that situation greatly depends on all other factors in ur life at that point and time. when u were young u naturally take more risks then if u have a family to think of etc..
so NO, i don't think anyone knows even themselves as well as they think.

Yes, its called intimacy. But most people are afraid of true intimacy, so we put up facades. But the only way someone can truly know you is if you truly know yourself.

Nope, there are so much about us, that you can't possibly now everything a person's about.
Probably just yourself can know the most.

if you tell them absolutly everything.
even then it would be hard to REALLY know someone.
only you can REALLY know yourself.
