Understand yourself better

I succeed to understand the others, many persons I speak with me about the private things. Often they are I to having doubts on understanding same me, but it does not make us case us and the continuous life, then is beautiful to have doubts

These are excellent questions. A lot of what I know about myself I learned from taking the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) personality test in school. My type is INFP. One of my strengths is an innate ability to understand people. From observing people over lengths of time, and especially if I know a few details about their past, I can begin to grasp the needs behind their actions. People are drawn to this, and frequently look to me for advice and other forms of help. One of my weaknesses is that, due my own compassion as well as the pleas of others, I tend to get deeply involved in their problems. As I get older, I know a bit better when and where certain types of involvement are inappropriate, and sometimes I must back away. But even so, I would never be able to afford more than a small handful of close friends. As is, most people only know me from a distance. Another of my weaknesses is that I'm rather shy in person. I've lived in my current hometown for just over a year, and I hardly know anyone. The only people I really know are at church and school, and most of them are little more than hi-bye friends. I ask less of others than is asked of me, and could find myself in a tough position to be faced with needs I couldn't meet myself. Somehow, I need to find a way to get closer to people without becoming "Baby Gramps" (How's that for an oxymoron?).

i think the thing about knowing yourself is that we never stop knowing ourself till the day we die we all are unique in our ways and it is can of hard for us to say we understand ourself but we are alearning about ourself. so it is kind of knowing it all to think we know ourself it, if we did we shouldn't be making mistakes but then again it dosn't mean we should relax on the effort to know the us in us better.

I think a vital part of growing up is learning to know yourself. I hope by now i know myself pretty well. I am a good verbal communicator. I am also poor at time management. Ideal for mylot i guess, im talkative and spend hours doing this kind of thing blessed be

I think your weakness is also your strengh & so do i. Another of my weakness is i always care about everybody's business, i want to be a peacemaker whenever they have arguement but end up being scolded, being misunderstood, that made me so sad. Maybe you think i have to improve it? But I think i can't, this is my nature, just because they're my friends.

I Wanna To Say Somthing Important.... I Understand All Persons which i Meet them So Much.... But Some Times i Think that's i Dunt Understand Ma Self ..... Some Time I Feel that's am So Strong and being Strong really.... and at night when i Dream Dream About weakness and everything... I Think That everyone Understand Him self well But Not at all time or Not everytime It's really hardly to Understand Ur Self 100% Thnx For This Discussion

hi,good,in any bodies life knowing their weakness and strength are important to act accordingly.Then only we can success.Some how my strengths and weaknessess also same with you.

oh I understand me but other people dont sometimes. I just help people where I can if they take it ok if not ok dont know what I need to improve on can ya tell me?

I think it is very difficult to say if you understand really yourself even you can show your strength and your weakness. I think I am a good man but sometimes a bad one. I think my strength is I am intelligent and I can imagine everything but It is also my weakness. I am arrogant but sometimes I am not self-confident at all. And I have more and more character but I have not enough of time to show here.

Hahaha now I see we have something in common. I also have an open minded. I like having friends that has different interest or different point of view. They help me understand the situation better wit wider perspective. I have so many leisure time, and mostly I use it to track back things i have done, or things my friends have done. I will think how if i choose different options, or how my friend would say in that situation. But the problem is the same. I get cheated too. ut I learn how to stop them before they cheated me. dong a Check Mate !

I THINK I understand myself but not as well as I would think. I know I am quiet, emotional, trustworthy, too trusting, loyal, caring, kind, odd sense of humor. Um. I know my sense of humor is sometimes morbid and sometimes sarcastic *L* oh well :p I wish I didnt get upset sometimes so easily. Oh and I CANT hold a grudge. I swear! Some might not believe it. But if I am upset with someone I cant stay upset for more than a few hours. I know some can hold grudges forever me? IMPOSSIBLE! My mom is bitter a lot and holds things from years later. I dont recall stuff like that. If I do I am NOT upset about it, I just might recall it. She is always still upset about this. My sister does this too, as does my dad oddly... huh. I guess I know myself better than I thought. Still its good to get to know yourself better from time to time for sure! :))

i understand myself. i think everyone have different strength and weakness. all of them know themself.but it is difficult to change them. of course i know my weakness.everytime i wish change it.but when i have not confidence to do it.

i am quite the different, i dont trust people unless we get together very long,and once i was cheated, i will never retrust that person again,i am not open minded at all,that's my biggest weakness.

it seems your strength and mine are same and the same goes with the weaknesss. i've been still searching what my strength is.maybe my girlfriend is my strength. i'm doing whatever i can to keep her happy. and also my weak ness is my girlfriend.without her i dont think i'l have the zest to do something..

I communicate well. I am organized. I work on projects until they are completed. I am open minded. Willing to accept change if change is for the better. My weakness is in supervising others.

I would like to thank you for writing the story of my life here.(lol).I have been told by many my strength is in my listening skills but my weakness is that I trust too easily and have been known to get burnt by it.I am hoping it all balances in the long run.

My weakness - I was always a sap and fooled by sad stories and tried to help others (including family) out only to have been betrayed and cheated. My strength -Learned from my mistakes and will never be fooled or taken in by anyone again.

Yes it is very important to understand yourself and to know what you want out of life, as for myself I think that my strenth is in the relationships with my family and friends that I have and the way that I help them, I am very straight forward and I believe that this is the way that I should be as if others do not like me as I am then they are not worth worrying about.

When I was a kid i used to be very shy but not anymore. I am more self confident now but I still don't know what to do in some difficult situations. Also I have worked on my Will Of Power and I can increase discipline in myself and refuse many things that I shouldn't do. :)

Yeah, I strongly agree with you. It's very good and important to be aware of yourself, your strengths and weaknesses. but sometimes grasping things very quickly has a disadvantage like you might get bored very quickly. That's one of my problems that i have to deal with and come over.
