Do you understand yourself?

Hello Koon! i am now start understanding myself but few years back i was totally ignorant type person.

I think I know and understand myself. I know what I am capable of. I know what I am afraid of. I know my limits. I feel that we all should hold onto a set of principles which is the basics for us to carry ourselves in life. But don't feel that we have to be rigid in our ideas and opinions in things that is not about our principles. We must change with the time and environment. The right decision a few months ago may not be so in the next few months. We need to always analyze with a clear head and make informed decisions.

I am an enigma, I think the only person who truly understands me is my therapist and probably my mum too. You have to weigh up the pros and cons about changing your job, I agree it's not an easy decision to make, but I am sure you will make the right one.

Sometimes I don't understand myself. Like one time I like to do something and then when I am doing the thing I want I will feel boredom. This is one of the things I don't understand in myself.

I don't understand myself most of the time either. I hate seeing my brother answering rudely to my mother but there are times that I myself say rude things to my mom. So I don't understand myself in situations like that. I want to change that attitude and I really want to comply with the promises I make to myself.

hi Koon999Tan, i do understand your view, we're in the same boat. Haha. I don't know why i suddenly make decision which is different form what I thought. But I don't hate myself for that, because I don't regret any decision that I make.. :)

you need to question whether or not you are happy doing the job you are doing. maybe it may be time to move on. it's important to know these things that way you don't waste your precious time and energy.

Yes I do understand myself. I made myself, improved myself, "thanks" to all the life experiences (most of them were terrible ones) I have. I understand why I act the way I act or react/respond the way I do. And if it comes to your dicussion.. we all change, sometimes from one moment to an other. This can make us realize (suddenly) that we need to do something different or that we are ready to start or try out something new. This has nothing to do with not understanding oneself.

It is difficult to know oneself. This is a hard concept. Partially because we are usually taught that it is selfish to put oneself first. But, you really have to think about who and what you are. Sometimes we meet with resistance. For example, I do not want kids. As a woman, that sometimes made people uncomfortable, or feel as if they had to persuade me. I just shrug. Don't want them. That is just one example. We are trained or conditioned almost to not believe in ourselves and always look for others for guidance, I say that is B.S. Know thyself, rule thyself. It's not easy, but I think worth it.

it's okay, it's normal. everybody feels the same way. most of the time, i don't understand myself too but don't worry because there will come a time that you will be able to find away in order to understand and find yourself. i'm looking forward to that time.. good luck!

Hmm iv always said do what you want to do in life no matter how hard or long it will take. as long as your happy is all that matters in the end. Do u not like your job now? is it stressing you out? if so then you can choose to decide on weather to change ur job. I think if your stressed or not liking it and its a drag to wake up in the morning then you should consider switching.For the better of course :)
