No matter how much of an extroverted person you are, truth is, that most of your life you will be spending by yourself, in your head. That’s why it’s so important to be at ease with you. However, to comfortable with yourself, the first step is to really get to know yourself. Once you know yourself, you are very likely to be able to understand why you are doing the things you do. I believe that knowing and understanding who you are is a big part of coming to peace with yourself. So, why don’t you to step 1 and answer these questions already?

- Do you feel at ease in a chaotic environment? Why or why not?
- How much time do you spend looking for things you can’t find?
- Are you motivated if there’s some competition involved?

the most important to you in term of friendship? - What’s your most valuable memory?
