The purpose of the article: is to show that the personality life competence is determined by the development of his ability to solve problems that arise in unpredictable life situations by means of constructing a narrative text. Life competence is interpreted as a significant prerequisite for the successful resolution of various life and personal problems that a person faces, especially in situations of uncertainty. It is the analysis, interpretation, and understanding of such situations that motivates a person to independently set and successfully solve problems, first of all, problems of searching and finding sense. Lack of information about the situation, its inconsistency, newness, and complexity of the situation are among the most common factors that cause the uncertain situation and make it difficult to adequately perceive and understand it. The most significant factor that complicates human activity in a situation of uncertainty is semantic uncertainty. It creates in the personality an anxious state associated with future uncertain events, for which it is difficult to prepare since there are no corresponding equivalents in the individual experience that would allow overcoming the semantic chaos. An important role in the interpretation of an uncertain situation is played by interpretation, which is a cognitive process of giving concrete meaning to the multidimensional components of an individual's experience. Narrative is the leading interpretative scheme that determines the transformation of personal experience and its adaptation to a new situation. It is expedient to interpret it as a means of solving semantic problems faced by an individual in a situation of uncertainty. A leading role in the process of generating a narrative is played by reflection, which is an important resource for creating meaning, adapting to life changes, and overcoming difficult life situations.
