Do you believe that some people know you better than you know yourself?

hi balasri I'm not believe that much I know my self, I, know all my self,

Hi balasri, I feel that ones mother is probably the only person who knows her children inside out, because her whole life is centered around the children and she is naturally interested in every little thing about them.Other than that a husband and wife generally know about each other well because of the proximity .And then it is the person himsef/herself who knows best about oneself.I doubt if anyone else can really know the person that well..

i believe that you know yourself better than anyone else... some people might say they know you better, but what they think of you is according to what you share or to what you are showing them... for example you write a novel, you are the only one who can tell the whole story even if i read it...cause i may have different interpretation of what you wrote and what you really mean in writing that novel... they might see you different from what you really are but since you own yourself, except who created you, You are the only one who knows better... cause you know your whole self but others knows only one forth of who you really are...

Hello balasri. I do believe so because my wife is the very person who knows me better than myself. Whenever I want to do something without my speaking it out, my wife smiles and says that she knows what I am thinking about. It is interesting of her to know what I am thinking about. I love to hear her say so to me. No one knows me better than my wife does.

Many people know me as well as I know myself but some are not aware that I know that they have realised some things that they know If I let them know that I know that they know then nothing of any good would come of it so we just leave things as they are with both of us knowing and neither telling the other that each one knows what they know

The Johari Window explains that. We really do have things about us that we do not know ourselves and that other people do know. There are also things still unknown to us and to other people. There are times and friendships wherein one definitely does know the other better than himself. However, I know that that kind of thing doesnt apply to me. Sure I might have friends who would know me to a tee but I know myself better. I can say that without a doubt because I dont have anyone that close to me. Its not that I dont have close friends but I just dont have that one person or that very few select individuals who would know what I would do, think, and feel in any given situation. I guess I just havent let anyone get that super close to me, that they/he/she would see me in a very vulnerable state. One point of this is that, I think no one has even tried to be close to me on that very deep personal level. ...shrug.

I think this can happen. There are times I question my thoughts and ideas and know my husband can figure me out almost to a tee. We've been married so many years that he can almost predict how I feel about something and how I will react. In turn, I can do the same when it comes to some of his thoughts and ideas. I do think I know me very well 99.9% of the time.

I don't know if I would say that some people out there know me better than myself, but I do know that with my husband and I, we can often figure out something abut the other person that the other person has not yet admitted, or has been hiding, and in cases like that it feels as if the person almost knows us better than we know ourselves .

Hi bala, my best friend knows me better than myself and can read me like a book..it is scary at times and annoying at the same time..cos even though I don't tell her everything she knows what I am thinking and more! LoLo

Hi. balasri. The only person that knows me better than I know myself is my husband and God. These are the only two people that I am close with. They would know me better than I know myself at times. Anyone else could not even come as close.

Hi Balasri, It's been a while... Anyway I would want to believe that I know myself compared to how deep other people know me. But at times, there might be some facets in my life or at least one that I am going through; wherein some friends who have good intentions, will readily give their unsolicited advises or suggestions.Some of these advises are actually valid if I weigh my strengths and opportunities... in fact practical at times!

I personally think that some people might know some things about you but only you can know everything about yourself. I can't say that someone knows everything about me but I know people can know only a little bit about me.

It is not possible to others know you better than you. Someone can can say simply. But it is not true. Even you can not know you. Then how others can know you. Psychologists say that we can understand others only up to a maximum of 7%.

no,its not soo easy..in my case..its possible only wen sumones loves u more den himself..

Oh yes I have often thought this about my closest friends that they know me better than I know myself and I wonder if I have become too predictable in my ways, although I do think this is a good thing, because you know your friends are close to you and care about you because they know you inside out! So I think they are the best people to go and ask advice for because you know they will have an answer for you which is based on how they view you and understand you. A friend who truly understands you inside out is worth their weight in gold. Even a few friends on Mylot have this talent too and when I get the responses to my discussions it's like they just know what the best thing for me is because they know exactly what I like and how I function as a person.

I know myself very well, better than anyone else on eearth. Did that sound like a conceit? I think, even though, we like to believe that weare our best judges many time some person very close to us might very well shock us with the interpretations that they have noticed over the years. It was in one of my birthdays, that my very close friend read out a harangue kind of thing and I was amazed at the revelations. Those are there alright but the way she perceived it was amazing! The point is, you never know. There may be people who know certain traits(as in ideosyncracies, mannerisms, likings...) better that we ourselves do because we are partial most of the times.

There are some facets of my personality I don't see. Other people see me in a different way, sometimes positively and sometimes negatively. My daughter sees parts of me that aren't attractive -- such as my people skills. She says I'm intrusive and lack tact. Thank goodness for friends who like me anyway! I believe basically I'm the same person I think I am, but I go through life unaware of some of my quirks -- a diamond in the rough.

hi balasri I think my best friend knows me more than I know myself'as once when I was angry with my doctor, whom Ihave had for years and years, she said you should talk to him About what he said that made you upset, I know you better than he does. you are too shy. she is right he had made a remark that I did not like and I wouldnt talk to him about it ,then when I finally did he told me he had been joking,it had not been a serious remark.so I could have saved myself a lot of anger and grief. yes I thought I knew me but the thing is we are all wanting to have the best slant on ourselves and so we are not all as honest as we cou ld be. I didnt think I was that shy but I really was.

Hi bala, Now that is a strange question, no one can know you better then yourself, not even your own mother, as you have your own personalty, you know yourself more. Does that make sense? Tam.

LOL...that is a very goos question. It would be impossible for me to answer it about myself but I have this certain friend that I know better than she knows herself..lol..I even tell her what she's thinking sometimes. It's funny because she is amazed by it. I bet there has to be people out there that are like that with me too.
