How well do you know the people in your life?

I came to realise about a year or so ago that no matter how well we think we know people, we dont. I learnt this the hard way and it is a lesson well learnt, and a lesson that knowing me I will go on learning!

bellaofchasos i dont think any of us can ever fully know all of the things about our close friends so we would all probably
fail miserably on those questions. for one thing we all change a
bit over time. So I would not win the million.

Wow, I was thinking about that after I saw those discussions. Can I answer everything in the 90/100%, no. Sometimes we get ahead of ourselves and assume something because of a given situation, other times we only hear what we want to hear and miss the boat entirely.

I have to admit sometimes I pick up on somethings and then completely miss it in other areas. Could I say 90/100% that I know my friends. No, my closest of friends offline, there is 3 or 4 months between visits. Life changes all the time, so do interests, sometimes even personalities.

As for online, you know I think it's easier because there are these bits and pieces that we put together to a person, we can go back and read and re-read, but again sometimes we come to conclusions that are assumptions too.

So in all this blah, blah stuff - kind of like talking outloud - don't worry - somedays I even answer myself - I'd have to say NO. I don't think that we can ALWAYS be 100% about the people we know.

To be honest, I've seen my friends, who I call my friends apart from here, about as many times as I can count on my fingers in the last 17 years because of hubby being in the army so I doubt I get half of the questions right but it doesn't matter because we all love one another very much and know we're all good people and that's all that matters.

I wouldn't walk away empty handed, if I couldn't answer them correctly I would just mug them heheheh. I could really use that million right now! I don't think we can ever know someone 90% Just when you think you know a person they flip the script on you. I learned that just recently with everything that I have been going through.

I tried to answer it bella sweety but it was deleted in front of my eyes - aren't admin spoilsports sometimes? I know quite a lot about those people around me but I think it would depend on the person whether I knew enough to get that much right about them in a quiz - I would like to think however that I would!

I know the people who are close to me pretty well. If the test was only on one or two fo them, of my choosing, I could probably score pretty high. But if I needed 100% to walk away with the million, I'd probably lose. Just because I know a lot about a person and spend on the average 10-20 hours a week with them, doesn't mean I know everything about them. If I did, our relationship would be boring and stagnant. The thing I love about my closest people, is that every day is a new day, and every new day brings new ideas, discussions and situations to the table. If I ever learned everything there is to know about a person, I wouldn't have interext in them anymore.

hi dear i normally take people at face value...my best friends i can say 90% how they are ..they may not be full goody goody but what matters is how they are to me..and mostly i maintain a very clean relationship i give them space and respect their privacy..so i kind off know them well but cant b very sure about the real inner feelings..

I don’t have much faith on my brain Bella…its failed me many times before while my heart has till now pulled me thru faithfully. So I really really don’t know the people around me…no I don’t and my only hope for survival lies in the fact that I know that I don’t know them! They can spring their surprises on me anytime, including my hubby dear and my angel of a son!
The second question is kind of vague dear, (maybe coz I didn’t read that first discussion…missed out on something interesting I’m sure)…but what test are you talking of exactly?
