This questions keep on running in my mind. Do I really know myself? Ofcourse yes says my mind. We should know ourself, we should know what our capabilities, what are the things we like and dislike and etc. *There are people think that they know theirselves very much but when you ask what is their talent they will say they don't know or they don't have one. But as time goes by they will able to discover it and will get amaze that they have such talent. There are also people that they don't know yet what's they really want to become.* `“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” - Greek philosopher Aristotle` **Source** https://advice.theshineapp.com/articles/ask-yourself-these-20-questions-to-improve-your-self-awareness/ I have read the article of @dziefem entitled: **are you good at pretending?** it's about knowing yourself more by answering some questions provided by this **link****.** This will improve your self-awareness so here's my entry on this :) https://read.cash/@dziefem/are-you-good-at-pretending-88600dd5 https://advice.theshineapp.com/articles/ask-yourself-these-20-questions-to-improve-your-self-awareness/ **What am I good at?** - I'm good at hiding my true feeling. Whenever I am sad others won't notice it since I am smiling and laughing as if there's no problem. I remember my friends keep on telling me how lucky am I because I am always happy but to be honest I am not. I am okay when I am with others but when I am alone, my minds keeps on overthinking about random things making me feel sad, frustrated. When I am in pain, no one here notice it. People think I am strong but to be honest I am not. There are times that I wanted to give up to the point that I hurt myself. Maybe this is what I inherited from my mom, you can read **here** why I said this. My mom was a strong woman she did not show to us that she's in pain. *I missed my mom so much :(* https://read.cash/@Loveleng18/strong-woman-wish-i-could-turn-back-time-0105a5fd **What am I bad at?** - I am bad at drawing. I can't even draw a perfect petals in flowers. I envy others who knows how to sketch a face of a person, I also want to learn that one but whenever I tried, always end up having lots of scratch paper. I can't draw a perfect shape of face. I remember whenever we have an activity that requires drawing I always got a low score and sometimes I used a guide. For example: I will going to draw a dog then I will search a picture of it and I will trace it (Bakat technique) hehez XD. Good thing I know how to make a lettering. **What makes me tired?** - doing nothing and overthinking. These two are connected, when I have nothing to do then I will end up overthinking about random things that sometimes I don't have a control. It makes me feel tired mentally that affects my physical being. When I think of a problem I feel tired physically and I feel like I did heavy activities. **Who are the most important people in my life?** - ofcourse my FAMILY. They are my source of strength and one of my motivation. Whenever I feel tired of school, I will just think of them and say to myself that I should not give up. I am the oldest so I need to strive harder so that I can give them a better life. **What stresses me out?** - deadlines and due dates. These two really stresses me out. Since I am a student there are lots of activities, projects and performance task that need to submit ahead of time. And the due dates? I know most of you can relate with me, whenever due date date comes and you will see all the bills that need to pay, men that's frustrating. **What makes me afraid?** - Losing people I love. I know how it feels when you left by your loveones and I don't want to feel that pain again. We all know that we all have our ending and I want to be the first to leave the world than my loved ones. **What makes me sad?** - seeing my love ones suffering in pain. **What makes me happy?** - seeing the price of BCH pumping high XD char. Ofcourse seeing my family happy and to be able to provide their needs. And the first one too hehez. LOL! Thank you for reading guys :) you can create yours too just click the link above. -Loveleng18

Good at hiding your true feelings. Ako hindi talaga mare. Then sana all talaga don sa magagaling magdrawing hays. Kahit yung puno lang na drawing ko pang grade 1 e hahaha
Haha yung katawan ng puno di pantay lage XD.
Kaya ngaaa nakakainis ay hahaha
You girls hiding your true feelings 😁 that isn't right wee miss five cups
I agree with you wee one, doing nothing is the most tiring thing to do, you feel exhausted afterwards 😂
Yes po hehez but when you move and do things you also feel tired XD.
Hehe so you need to move more often and then you won't be so tired wee one
I asked the same question often, when people told you they don't know what their talent is, they lying because sometimes talent must keep secret haha.. I'm one of those secretive talented charrr.
Yung iba kase pag sinabi mo kung ano talent mo sasabihin sample haha
Hahaha yun na nga ang dahilan 🤣 baka lalong bumilib charrr
Haha madiscover ka pa 😂
Sometimes you need to share your pain with others too, although you have to be wary of who you share them with :) It's hard to keep your struggles or pain to yourself, it will build up and it won't be healthy if you can handle it.
Thanks to this po. I know that I should open up to others but the problem is I have no one here to talk to hehez. Pero hanggat kaya kakayanin :D
Ahh, that's a challenge indeed! Sabagay, strong ka eh hehe. I did that too many times before, sinarili na lang kesa malaman pa ng iba :D
Most times we don't know we can do something until we give it a try. We have this inbuilt talent in us that we haven't bring it to life. The day it comes out, we would be amazed of such.
You're right. Thanks for sharing it here
I don't know how to draw too. Also, when you feel like nobody understands you. Look up and pray. Also pick yourself up. Be your own bestfriend
