In This Article:

Do you ever find yourself wondering about what makes someone tick? You'd do anything just to know what is going on in their mind and really want the chance to find out more about them. It can be hard to come up with the right words to start peeling away the layers of a person and finding out who they are to the core. So, here are 12 questions to help start that process of truly getting to know someone at their core.

What is one moment in your life that you would love to relive?

Would you rather be able to change a moment from your past or be able to see a moment into your future?

What part of your everyday routine brings you joy?

What keeps you grounded through the good times and bad times?

What would you do if you knew you wouldn't fail?

Where do you want to be in 10 years?

What do you like most about your own personality?

What does success look like to you?

If you could make one positive change in the world, what would it be?

Why are you worth knowing?

How much "me time" do you take for yourself?

What do you wish people knew about you?

Have you found your true calling in life?

Who do you value most?

How would you want someone to describe you to a stranger?

These questions probably aren't always the best when you first meet someone, but these are ways to start building those connections with others when the time is right. In life, we need to understand that if we want to get to know a person, we should ask questions deeper than the surface. Not only is it nice to get to know each other, but sometimes questions like these can open people's minds to who they are and what they can do.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.
