We have the habit by nature of thinking that we know ourselves well, logic indicates that we should as individuals know ourselves well, however without realizing it we can live a considerable time in which our deeds show that in reality we were never able to know ourselves completely.
There may be some security in us that gives us an indication that we really know ourselves, however in this long journey called life many things can happen and various events that lead us to act in an unexpected and unforeseen way, which in turn makes us reflect and think that we have not really finished knowing ourselves.
We really prove that we do not know ourselves well when we are unable to make a description of our own weaknesses, all this happens in the erroneous environment of believing that we know ourselves but developing the inability to know on the sides that we have high weaknesses and inabilities, although it is normal that nobody likes to talk about their deepest fears, we should accept them when we make that self-assessment in which we are trying to decipher how much we know ourselves.
Do we know where our fears of heights or darkness come from?
In the case that we hesitate to answer these questions is because there is an inefficiency in our self-knowledge to decipher how much we know ourselves, since for example it is easier for us to discover which color we like, but the reality is that if we want to know how much we know ourselves, we have to ask ourselves questions related to our fears.
Do we know what our talents are?
Sometimes we will find people who easily think they know what their talents are, but they really focus on describing their talents based on their routine tasks, but it turns out that sometimes our talents are so hidden that even we do not know what they are, they may take years to be discovered.
The most convenient would be to perform the therapy of self-questions to ourselves that are unfounded in asking about what we would not like to ask someone else, what makes us most uncomfortable is what we have to direct our questions of self-knowledge, and that depending on whether we find honest answers for ourselves, is where we can measure the ability to know if we know ourselves.
