With a good understanding of how we relate to others, we can adjust our behavior so that we deal with them positively. By understanding what upsets us, we can improve our self cont rol. And by understanding our weaknesses, we can learn how to manage them, and reach our goals despite them. However, it’s difficult to be objective when we think about ourselves, and how others actually see us can be quite different from what we think they see.
