Who knows the whole you?

Think about the fact that you only show a part of yourself to others. Is there anyone who know the whole you? Of course not, but some know you much better than most others. For me it is my husband, he knows me as well as anyone can. Are you lucky to have someone who knows you well or do you always keep much of yourself hidden?

Nobody will and can understand who i am, what i am, or what i'm eaven thinking.
Eaven my best friend can't figure out what i'm thinking who i actualy am.
I'm VERY aggressive while i show it to no one.
If by chance we are playing a rough game with gym classes like football, american football, team "fights" and all the kinds of games you have to use your strength, power, agility, reflexes and such.
I'm always holding myself back as i know from myself i get very aggressive in it.
Not in a fighting way but not caring what i do just to win the match.
Some might know the feeling some don't.
Also in love.... Almost everyone had a lovergirl/boy atleast 2-4 times in a year..
I had non. and they rather call me gay because they think i can't get anyone.
I did explained that i'm not interested in "fake love" and most of them called me a f***ot or a ret*rd.
I can go on about this but i'm getting off-topic

I am sorry you don't have anyone to confide in. This means you have to carry all your feelings within. Can you express youself in some type of exercise? Something where you only challenge yourself? I'll be happy to chat with you if you want. If you are not on my friend's list just request me as a friend then PM me. Blessings

I would say that there are two people in the world that know the complete me. The first person is my mother because in addition to her being my mother, she has been my best friend for many years. There's been things in my life that I've never shared with anyone else that I was able to share with her. The other person I know who knows the complete me is my husband because I don't think that it is right to ever keep secrets from your spouse.

Keep things hidden? Moi???
I'm a wizziwig, also known as wysiwyg, also known as what you see is what you get. My mouth opens long before my brain kicks in so I'm utterly unable to hide things.
Well, that's not entirely true but I do tend to talk too much. I always have. That trait has actually been good for me. I've made some terrific friends and a little extra pocket change right here in myLot.
I'd have to say that my husband and sons know the whole me. Well, my sons do. My husband's mind is usually on other things. Actually, anyone who really listens to me (or reads what I write) knows me pretty well. Anyone who takes the time to read between the lines knows what is under the surface with me.

That is a really good question. I have to wonder whether it is ever possible for any person to completely know another because there are times when I can surprise myself by something I may say or do. Out of everybody in my life my husband and my sister are the people who know me better than anyone. Out of all my family I would say my mother is the one who knows me the least, believe it or not, she doesn’t stop focusing on herself long enough to really understand my sister and I. One of my goals towards self improvement has been to be as authentic as possible and take off the ‘masks’ that I sometimes used to wear around people.

My husband, and possibly my two adult children know me well. I have at least one close friend that I can share pretty well with.

I would say that my kids know me the best of all. They have lived with me, seen me at my best and my worst. Beyond that my best friend of over 40 years knows me real well. I don't think anyone can know someone 100%. We are ever-changing. There is always something new and interesting to learn about everyone. Nothing stays the same. I would say the people who are closest to me and are with me thru all the changes probably know me the best.

Hello savypat,
As for me, My parents know some of my secrets and how i have grown myself from that mistake.but aside from my parents, no one knows the real me. i get a long with my eldest brother, but he doesn't know too much of my secrets, which i have carefully kept for a long time. well, my brothers kept theirs so why would i reveal mine.
but months later, not even mon really knows who i am. the only i can answer my self now, is..............COnfusion.

hello,savypat, well i know one of my bestfriends really know me the most better than others. he was my ex boyfriend and he really knew me inside and out. i'm happy to know him as well,but now many things have changed between us and we never communicate at all. we broke up very long time ago and i'm really happy that once in my life i had known him. he was always there for me,no matter what happens. well,i'm also sad sometimes cause i have to let go of him,but life has to move on and we have to live separately to make our lives more interesting...there's more things in this life not just the two of us...

I strongly believe that eventhough some of us live an open-book kind of life, we still hold a lot of things just to ourselves. Remember that we all have different roles to live by everyday: We need to be a son/daughter, a bother/sister, a father/mother, a friend, a lover, a student, a mentor, an employee, a boss, a customer, a believer/dreamer to somebody. But there's also a simply you moments. (The moment whenever you close your eyes before you go to bed that's the last you for that day. So to answer that question, Nobody knows the whole you and nobody will. Because you only give part of yourself whenever you play a specific role in your everday life.

I think no one will ever know the whole you except yourself! Not even your mother, nor your closest friend...but YOURSELF!

I suppose my husband knows the whole of me, he even knows me better than myself. Sometimes, when he pointed out something of me that I was not aware of. That's why I always think he's really my mentor and he really makes me to be a better person or to be someone I want to be. I have been knowing him since I was in secondary school, and I guess that's why he knows me so well. Also, I am not good in hiding myself, or I do not prefer to hide too.

Hi, Pat!
My husband knows me that well. Sometimes, when he knows exactly what I'm going to say about something, I wonder if he knows me a bit too well...

Nobody knows the whole me.I think my mother knows about 50% of me, same with ex-boyfriend - he knew about 50% of real me.People on forums know more about my likes and dislikes.In real life I care more about the interests of my friends, we go to watch a movie of their taste, we listen to the music which they like.I can watch and listen to many things, but they can't.They're a a bit limited.
I'm happy for you, I think your Hubby is one of the best choices made in your life.I hope to have a partner that knows me that well.

I'm a mostly private person. However my immediate family knows me inside and out because I tend be an open book, wearing my feeling on my face. My family knows my heart and how I'm always willing to help anyone in need which then I'm sometimes taken advantage of. Of course I also think alot of people have a secrets that they will take to their grave about themselves that their spouses will never know.

I`m still single so the one whom I considered would be the best person to know me is my mother & she`s the best person who knows how I think and she`s best in making things happier for me. I love her so much!

My mother knew me very well, even better than I did myself haha!
I have nothing to hide but most of my family still see me as a teenager. For some reason, they think I dont grow up or change and even when I tell them that Im not that way anymore, they just laugh ?!?!? Go figure!
