We know really well about ourselves. If you (ask) to describe yourself to someone else, what will you say? It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside, knowing who you are can help you understand feelings better.
The ability to have a good understanding of our own character is called self-awareness. If you're self-aware, you are able to see yourself (clear). You may also know that you love playing piano because you do well in it and music makes you happy, or that you like watching TV on your own because it helps you relax.
Knowing what you like or dislike, what you are good at or what you find difficult allows you (make) better decisions about friendship, schoolwork and so on. You learn to trust (you) own feelings more and that can build up confidence. Last year, the World Health Organization (say) that self-awareness is one of the ten important life (skill) that can help young people live happier, healthier lives. Being self-aware doesn't mean only thinking of yourself. You will better understand other people understanding your own feelings.
How do you learn to be self-aware? It's a good way to ask questions, but ask yourself questions that start with "" instead of "why". For example, if you don't understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you're arguing. Learning to be more self-aware is a skill and you learn it as you grow. So be brave and try out new things!
