Self-awareness is an individual's ability to accurately perceive and be aware of oneself, which can sometimes be difficult. Some people are overrated, others are underrated, and very few are exactly what they think they are.
The following signs indicate that you are actually better and smarter than you might think.
There are few things you do not understand
Many people believe that not understanding something means they are simply not smart enough. Probably because we were taught to think like that in school. But don't worry! There are many things that no one understands. And this is understood only by those people who think and are not afraid to say: "I do not know".
Make a lot of mistakes
Mistakes are characteristic of all people. Some are aware of their mistakes, others are not. So if you think to yourself that you make a lot of mistakes, there is a high probability that you make them just like everyone else, only you notice them more often and are aware of them.
You ask (yourself) questions that no one else does
Are you asking questions that no one else is? They are interesting and unusual questions a sign of creativity and ability thinking outside the box. If you ever feel weird asking yourself questions that others aren't even thinking about, it just shows that you're thinking for yourself.
Don't think you're very smart
Smart people are usually aware of their ignorance and the limitations of their intellectual abilities. They often feel that they are not resourceful enough, even though compared to others, they actually are.
You are weak in convincing others
You might think that someone is smarter if they are more persuasive to others. But it is often the other way around. Smart people look at things from different perspectives aspects and understand different points of view. Therefore, they seem less convincing than those who think that only they are right.
