160 Get to Know Me Questions

Do you want to get to know someone better? Perhaps you’re working with a new group of people, and you want to build a sense of community with some ice-breaker questions? Or maybe you just want to participate in a “Get to Know Me Tag” with some fresh questions.

Whatever the case, these “get to know you” questions can help you start the conversation and keep it going. You can go through the different categories of get-to-know-me questions or randomly choose some to answer.

The list ranges from deep get to know you questions to more light-hearted ones. Remember, there are many benefits to being vulnerable – including stronger relationships, greater empathy, and increased self-acceptance. The more vulnerable you are, the more potential to build trust and belonging.

That being said, make sure you create an environment in which everyone feels comfortable sharing. Vulnerability is not full disclosure or forced shared. Nobody should feel obligated to share something they don’t want to.

These get-to-know-me questions can also serve as a great way to improve your self-awareness. Being self-aware is a never-ending process, and these questions to ask yourself can help you learn something new.

The key is to have fun, get vulnerable, and strive for authentic connection!
