Are you on a girls trip and somehow the discussion topics are running out? Then a list of questions is a good way to start up the conversation!

In this post I have gathered the best self knowledge questions from Google. I believe it is always good to stop and think about what values one has. Besides, when is some self reflection not good?! And asking these questions from your friends inspire for more interesting discussions. You also end up getting closer to your friends as you get to know each other a lot better.

When me and my friends were on a vacation in Syvota, Greece we decided that we needed some time to get to know ourselves better. This led to me googling “self knowledge questions” and came a cross a lot of questions. I chose some sites I found most beneficial for this and gathered this list of 66 questions. I thought I would share it on my blog as it was so enlightening for me to have these discussions.

I begin the list with a question from the childhood and end with a question about the time after we have passed, this way different times of your life are considered.

It is also a good idea to write the answers down. This way you can read them later in your life and see how your answers have change over time. These questions are also good to ask yourself when you are alone.
