Or do you just think you know? People can be so complex on several different levles.

There is the online personality where you have more freedon to be yourself, or the self you wish you were, or the self you hide from the peopld you come in contact with daily.

There is the work personality. Since I don't work exactly I probley will miss the direct description. This is the self that you will contain. You are there to do your job and get paid. Work more and speak less.

There is the friends personality. This is the self where you are open, without being completely open. Or maybe you are completely open. Some friends are much closer than others.

There is the dateing self. This is the self where your self-confidents comes in strong. You either have it or you don't.

These are just a few of the levles of a person. So the question I want to ask. Can you ever truly KNOW a person?

Sure you can. You can know a person inside and out, sometimes better than you know yourself.
 
I used to think that you could know someone inside and out...then I discovered a husband who was living a whole life I knew nothing about, and that shattered all those fantasies of truly getting into someone's head.

I think you can know someone on many levels, but a person truly bent on not wanting to be known never will be.

A good book: "The Pilot's Wife" by Anita Shreve.
