You might think, "Why dig for dirt about yourself? I’m fine." And you probably are. But asking questions about yourself is like doing a system update on your personality. You don’t have to change everything—just patch the glitches.
So next time you’re in a coffee shop, at a party, or on the phone with your cousin, take a risk. Ask one weird, honest question about how you come across. You might get a laugh, a cringe, or a surprising compliment. Worst case, you learn that your laugh sounds like a donkey. Best case, you figure out you’re the funniest person in the room—and you finally know it for sure.
