What questions are best to ask your friends about yourself?

If you’re wondering what are good questions to ask your friends about yourself, there is a simple way to figure it out.

Basically, it depends on your intention and the situation.

If you are having a fun night out with your friends, asking them deep questions about yourself might not be the best idea. In this case, funnier and more lighthearted questions would be the best.

If you are trying to learn more about yourself and want an unbiased opinion from someone close to you, or if you are trying to strengthen your relationship with an already close friend, then the deep questions are a better option.

Some of these questions are quite personal, so make sure that you are asking people who know you well and who are willing to give you honest, loving answers.
