How can we enhance self-knowledge?
It is very normal that when another person asks us questions about ourselves, it makes us quite uncomfortable, since it is a very difficult situation to talk about ourselves. In this case we should not think that the reason is because of shyness or something else, but perhaps we think that describing ourselves can become very presumptuous, there is no one better to make a judgment of us than another person.
There are arguments to describe ourselves that put us in a very comfortable situation such as naming our profession, nationality, ideology, politics, religion, tastes, social ties, among others.
However, perhaps we should not assume these names as something positive, since they can come to function as the labels that are on the products that are in supermarkets, and although these labels can be useful to identify us, they do not give us a personality based on a true psychological development.
A description according to our personality must go beyond a simple label like naming our profession, to give a description according to a humanistic personality we must first know ourselves well, in fact when we know well who we are and where we come from we help ourselves to place ourselves in a situation of personal reflection where we reach the conclusion that we can reach a high level of self-knowledge.
Logically, there are many reasons why it is important to know ourselves. However, it is propitious that we inquire about some habits that can help us to promote personal self-knowledge that will help us to strengthen our own personality.
In conclusion, I think that within these habits we must forge a personality that does not depend on pre-established habits, but on generating and adapting the habits that we believe are relevant to develop a sustainable self-knowledge in our lives.
Hello @sandracarrascal
I think that it is difficult to talk about oneself has a lot to do with the fact that we do not always analyze ourselves, and this should not be, the best way to improve is to get to know ourselves more and more, to determine what we should improve.
Hello friend @josevas217
It is not easy to talk about ourselves, and you are right most of the time we do not analyze ourselves, which is a big mistake because it is the best way to know ourselves and thus have a better quality of life and what are the behaviors that we must improve.

Hi @sandracarrascal Self-knowledge is a form of love that allows you to have patience with your weaknesses, humility in your strengths and patience to influence both in a positive way. Self-knowledge serves to connect with your own essence and feel the light that comes from this inner balance. It is vital to achieve a clear vision of what we are and where we want to go and even in the company of who or whom, very interesting your publication, thank you.
Hello friend @aplausos
Depending on how you see self-knowledge, but I agree with you is a form of love that will help us to have more patience and tolerance and take things in a positive way, I also believe that we should generate and adapt the habits that we believe relevant to develop a sustainable self-knowledge in our lives, and thus have a better quality of life.

I'm not sure I agree with much of what you've said there, although maybe that's simply a difference in our cultures.
Jordan Peterson says that if you're a willing listener, people will tell you all sorts of things they never intended to.
In the Western world, no one wants to hear what we have to say. So when we encounter someone who is truly interested in hearing what we have to say, we fumble around and do a terrible job of explaining ourselves. But we keep talking because talking about ourselves is a novelty, and we do a bad job because we don't get a lot of practice.
I wonder if that's a bit closer to what you were trying to say.
Hello friend.
When we are talking about how we can improve self-knowledge, we are referring not only to differences in our cultures but we also need to know ourselves deepen in each layer of your personality, our behaviors, attitudes and beliefs in order to have a better quality of life, it is a deep and very special process that can give us a positive turn to our lives.
