How do we really know when we know ourselves?
I told one of my friends that i didn't know myself well enough to be dating, and she said she knew everyyything about herself, because she's been through a tough friendship. When do you think you reallyyy truly know yourself inside and out ?

That's actually a good question. I'm 23 and there's plenty of times when I've thought about that. I guess I just go with the flow, I know what I want in life, and I work towards it, but at the same time I'm laid back and just go day to day.

I think saying that you don't know yourself well enough to be dating is a really smart and respectable thing to say, if that's honestly what you think.
I don't think most people ever truly know themselves. Life has a way of throwing new situations at you and challenging you to grow, mature and change in many different ways.
Often before a person takes a big step in their life, they may unconsciously recognise that they need to mature in a certain sense before they take that step. I think that this is normal, and it is good to see this in yourself.
By the way, people who say they know EVERYTHING about themselves are usually the ones who know the least. So just be humble and let people think what they want. Concern yourself with your own self and work through your life at your own pace.

If you don't know yourself then who do you know?? You are the only one who has been dealing with you since day one you know your thoughts your likes your dislikes sounds to me like you are just using an excuse to be single or to not be in a relationship..?

you really know yourself when you can answer basic questions like what you love doing, what kind of music you like hearing, what kind of food do you like eating, etc... Knowing oneself is knowing what you like and of course dislike!
Just knowing where you want to go and how you are going to do it might help you...
