No. Other people don't know me very well. I'm rather uptight. Actually, I barely know myself because I often suppress what I want to do or how I want to behave. Other people actually know what could be said is the opposite of me.

Since I isolate myself from others they are forced to make suppositions about me based on my behaviors, most people I know know nearly nothing about me. My parents know probably the second most about me, and my brothers the most out of others. But I only share with them what I feel like sharing, so they still probably don't know me better than I know myself.

I've spent a lot of time studying myself actually. I used to do what's called an examination of conscience where I exam my every actions and behaviors everyday, so that I can try to understand myself and be a better Christian. But I stopped recently for some reason. I really need to get back to that... this thread was actually a good reminder for me, lol. But I think in most cases, I feel that I know myself better than other people know me.

That should be one of your goals in life; to know and understand yourself.

I'll have to completely agree with you on that one.



I must agree with these two gentlemen, examining myself is something I do regularly and understanding yourself should be your very first priority after your survival needs.

I'd say I know myself better than anyone, especially since I'm very secretive and selective with the people I share personal information with.

No not at all I am very reserved and only let people see what I want them to.
