Don't you think you really do not know who you are?

Question

so why do other people believe they know.

Answer 1

NOONE REALLY KNOWS WHO THEY ARE !! WE ARE RELATED TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND MONKEYS AND BABOONS AND OTHER SPECIES. WHEN WE ARE BORN WE ARE GIVEN A CERTAIN NAME SO WE THINK WE ARE UNIQUE WHEN REALLY WE SHOULD CALL EACH OTHER BY OUR DNA AND WEAR A NAME TAG WITH OUR DNA NUMBER ON IT SO WE CAN INTRODUCE OURSELVES TO EACH OTHER. IF EVERY ANIMAL AND HUMAN HAD A NAME TAG WITH THEIR DNA ON IT WE COULD ACQUIRE WORLD PEACE , ITS WORTH A TRY ANYWAY, NOTHING ELSE SEEMS TO WORK.!!!

Answer 2

Perhaps because they view you as contadictory. You may
change your opinions on various things and they may
not understand this as your right. All of us have many
sides to our personality and others can only see what
we put out to them. Before you comment on things to
others, think about whether or not you're really expressing
your deep down feelings and not just saying things to
please them. To really know who you are is to be true
to your own convictions. This can take some courage
but at least the people that really know you will stick by
you for the right reasons.....you don't really care about
the others, do you?

Answer 3

Actually, only I can answer that question, and I know it sounds like an oxymoron, but yes, I DO know what I am, but sometimes i have doubts about it too.

Many a times we tend not to be able to see our true strength cos that only comes when the situation calls for it, and, how much of your strength you can muster up too.

And, no, I don't. Because I do, most of the time.

Now did that make sense?

Answer 4

When one is looking at oneself, there is an inherent bias, both good and bad. The only way to really see yourself is through others, but you must be careful, others may have an agenda or be less than honest.

Answer 5

The only way one can learn who they are is through their experiences. You never really know how you are actually going to act or react to a situation until it you experience it. Until then, you only think you know yourself, but you really do not, nor does anyone else.

Answer 6

I feel like I'm learning more and more about who I am each day. I'm having more a struggle trying to figure out where I fit into this world.

Answer 7

There are a few things I know about myself, and a LOT of things that I don't. I wish that people could know themselves better. Perhaps if they did, they would try to improve.

Answer 8

I know exactly who I am. Whenever I have any doubts, I take a large picture of myself, and compare it with my reflection in a mirror. If they look quite a bit alike, I know that I'm me.

Answer 9

No im very secure in knowing who I am. And some people do know who they are. If you dont know, then maybe you should ask somebody.

Answer 10

What?

You are confusing me with your double negatives and existential questions that turn themselves inside out. Maybe you don't know that you don't know not what you are not, but what you can't seem to say.
