My favorite teacher says it's more difficult to know yourself than to know others. Do you agree? Do you know yourself?

I agree with your teacher because it is hard to criticize one's self. It is like pointing out the mistakes of others but while looking at the mirror, everything you see is beautiful. It is like in your eyes, you have no flaws and the people around you has.

i agree. my hubby knows me much better than i know myself. i know that seems odd, but other people tend to "see" you, observe you, notice you, can put things into words about you. sometimes when i'm filling out questionnaires for example, i find it hard to answer questions about myself, even though...i am well, me. whereas i ask my hubby and he blurts out an answer without thinking. it's weird, but i agree. i know things about myself, likes, dislikes, but there is just stuff that we almost don't 'see' about ourselves. i know it's strange, and i don't think i can really explain it. i just know it to be true...that's the one thing i know about that, ha!!

Wat ur teacher told is 100% right so think 1 think our mind willnot stay at 1 place it will change from 1 place to another place so by that our body behaviour also change like that so we cannot expect ourself as 1 person if our mind changes our body language also changes and all chnages automatically.so we cannot know ourself.
