I attend a human development strategies class yesterday and I have learnt a lot of things. This course stems from psychology hence it has to do with personality development and the self.I have challenge for you. Here it goes; how well do you know the girl or the boy or the man or the woman inside? The reason for asking this question is that I have learnt the an individual personality isn't finish developing until the age of 18. They say you may think you a persons personality from they were a baby base on some behavioural patterns but you don't as that individuals personality isn't fully developed yet. What I would like to is do you every stop to think about who you are and why you are like that? If we could take the time to see ourselves and not physical speaking from within we would be surprise to see how little we know about ourselves. Now study yourself for at least 3 months and see how much more self aware you are. This could help you a lot in your daily living. Just make that effort to find the real you. Self actualization can make your lives challenges much easier to deal with.

I always thought that I knew myself pretty good. However, the last two years going through struggles has really showed me I don't know myself at all! I figured by the time I turned 50 I would know myself pretty well, but I keep discovering things all along the way!

I agree with the fact that a person doesn't really fully develop their personality until 18. Its not really hard to believe. Most teens and college age students are trying to 'find themselves' and that applies in more then just career choice. I believe it's also a life and personality choice.
I think all the experiences I had from a child till I was 18 did develop my personality in good and bad ways. Getting teased a lot while a child caused me to by shy and introverted. Having over achieving siblings caused me to lack self confidence. Through my meetings with people and relations with others teaches my mind how to deal with certain people and where to draw your line of trust.
As a teen I did spend a lot of time figuring out who I really was and I did find out a lot. I know more know and I know where I can dray my limits. I think people should figure out who they really are because in doing so you can figure out what you're really capable of.
