If I were to simply ask you, “who are you?” I'm sure that everyone would be able to answer this question. But if you go deeper, do you actually know yourself and not just the name. We all lack the ability to see ourselves and accept how the outside world thinks of us.
There is a common phenomenon in today's society: to think too highly of oneself. And this phenomenon appears in most events. For example, many people consider themselves above the average. Often, we are particularly susceptible to this "false superiority" when making judgments about the qualities we most or least want to have. Do you believe you are someone's best friend? Are you sure you can be a blockbuster artist? Or do you consider yourself the smartest person in your class? If that's in your head, you're at the beginning of a phase of self-knowledge -- self-doubt. The ability to doubt yourself is a sign that you're starting to have a hard time with yourself. Here are four stages of self-knowledge: -doubt -deny -observe -cognitive Many people suffer from self-perception bias. This is not because they think they are too high or low, but because they are unable to determine the standard of self-evaluation. This self-perception bias leads to the duck effect, which is defined as "the lower the ability, the more likely people are to have a high evaluation of themselves, at least their ability evaluation above the average level; People with higher abilities tend to underestimate their abilities, which is a cognitive bias."

I agree with you very much, I can also feel that some people are not have strong ability, but task themselves very strong, I think to know oneself should start from observing their own shortcomings, when you feel difficult to find, you can ask people around you, understand your shortcomings and then correct it will make you become better and better!

This was a very intresting topic that you have chosen Guan. This topic is one people do not tend to want to talk about i think because they are scared this represents them. People dont like to be average and they want to be the best they can be and i think that leads to self-knowledge-self-doubt. I really enjoyed this blog and im taking going to be coming away from that little bit wiser.

I defensively connect with not only seing it around me but having self perseption bias at times. Sometimes people are so caught up in their own biases and point of view that they become stubborn.I think self awareness is something everyone should spend time working on as it is a very important to mental health and having controle over ones ego. Self awarness allows us to think clearly and not only for ourselfs.
