I got inspired to write this article based on @dziefem's article on “examining myself”. I have decided to give it a try to see how much I know about myself while having fun at the same time. You can also try out some or all of these questions here.

What am I good at?
Apart from having a really good memory and a strong affinity for numbers which is only useful in the academic world. I could memorize up to 20 pages of a book and write it out exactly the same way without error; I actually trained myself to do that. I don’t think I’m good at anything outside of academics. If over thinking, calculating, and over analyzing cause and effects was a thing, I’d say I’m good at that. Unlike @dziefem, I can’t cook even if my life depends on it. Perhaps I’d go learn from her.
What am I so-so at?
I think I’m extremely good at time management; I’ve been a control freak since I was 14, always writing a to-do list with the exact time of execution without a deviation from the initial plan. At a point friends began to call me a robot. In fact my alarm is set for every two hour interval so I can keep track of time and events.
I’m also very good at planning events, (already mentioned being a control freak, I like being in charge), I don’t visit people without a planned time of arrival and departure (It’s my simple definition of discipline). I think I’m Batman.
What am I bad at?
I’m bad at making friends, I’m a very selective person in the real world hence I don’t like making friends except in special cases where we have similar interests and we share the same values.
I’m extremely bad at cooking, don’t ask me why. With trial and error I can cook rice, egg, noodles and fried eggs- just what I can eat. It’s either the salt is not enough or the salt is too much.… Haha.
What makes me tired?
That’s a bit hard to determine, lemme think about it, lol. I think it’s sitting in the banking hall for hours while waiting for my turn to be attended to.
The most important people in my life
I’ve basically got two sisters, and a Best friend, they are the most important people in my life. No explanation is required.
How much sleep do I need?
It’s not certain how much sleep I need cos’ I hardly sleep. I think about 3 to 4 hours daily is enough for me (reasons I’m hypertensive…. lol). It’s difficult for me to fall asleep at night cos’ I have a very active brain- always flying here and there, planning possible events of the next day and yada yada yada. Plus I wake up almost every hour until daybreak, making it difficult to determine just how much sleep I need.
What relaxes me?
I do not exactly need anything to make me feel relaxed, I believe relaxation is simply a state of mind but I sometimes listen to music- favorite artist is Stormzy (the king of grime). I sometimes sleep better when I’m depressed.
My definition of success
I believe success is an individual thing. Set goals, work hard, and achieve it- that’s success. I’m a strong believer of hard work and consistency, I don’t believe in talent.
How I want others to see me
I want to be seen as a very self-confident, independent person. I can be extremely patient even in weird situations; I want people to see me as a calm, patient and accommodating person.
What makes me sad?
Nothing makes me sad apart from the fact that I grew up too early- you wouldn’t understand. Apart from this, I’m a very happy person.
What makes me angry?
I hardly get angry so I don’t know. Noise maybe?
The kind of friend I want to be?
I wanna be a very understanding friend, a friend you can share your secrets with, without fear of being betrayed. I’m extremely trustworthy so you can tell me anything and everything.
What do I think about myself?
I think I’m a very logical person without a strand of emotion (just kidding), I’m patient, Intelligent, hardworking, discipline and everything good. And I’m Batman.
What do I want?
I want @TheRandomRewarder to look towards me with favour and visit me today…hahahaha…I’m still being patient though.
Thanks for reading!
