Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A

reader, anonymous, writes (5 July 2010): What do you think about when you don't have to think about anything? What do you enjoy doing? What were you doing during your happiest memories?
If you just relax, what is inside of you will naturally come out. Are you confident?
In trying to find yourself, don't try to fit a mold; they never fit. People have too many sides.

 only you can figure that out.
perhaps write down things you like to do.
example:
I like to travel
I like to swim
I like hanging out with friends
etc..
then write down things you don't like to do
I don't like pretzels
I don't like drama
I don't like fighting
etc
then write down things you're not okay with moral wise
I'm not okay with murder
I'm not okay with hard drugs
I'm not okay with stealing
etc.
this will give you a brief idea of who you are in a nutshell.
this will give you a good start at knowing who you are. those lists are about me and now you have an idea of who I am, therefore you should see that if you do this with yourself you'll begin to see who you are more.
also,write down facts about yourself. like for example,
I am 22 years old
I'm an art student
I am a daughter
I am a sister
I will be an aunt in a month
I'm a nanny
its just a start on getting to know who you are. But to really know yourself more, maybe ask people around you how they see you. That could give you some insight too.
just remember to not try too hard and become fake. These lists will help you be true to yourself and not wear a mask pretending that you're anyone that you're not.
good luck, hope this idea helps

"Be yourself" is a dumb thing to say, honestly. You should be the person you WANT to be. If you don't know how, FAKE it. ACT LIKE that person. You'll learn, and someday you'll be the real thing. You've got lots of time.

 Hello, Long ago, I wrote a song for my band that expressed the sentiment of "Everyone says be yourself. Be yourself. Yet, the truth is that it's ok to be yourself as long as others are comfortable with who you are being". So, I would guess that your question is LESS about, "Who am I" but more about "How should I be to be accepted by others"?
The Hallmark answer is that you shouldn't care about what others think..But who are we kidding. We all care to some degree how we are perceived by others. Especially the younger we are.
Bro, here's the deal. You are not going to appeal to everyone all the time. You can work on developing a persona that YOU THINK others will respond to favorably, but I will be the first to tell you, you will be setting yourself up for failure and anxiety. Keeping up a persona to pacify others is exhausting and breeds contempt. The law of attraction says that you receive what you give. If you develop a phony, insincere persona to "fit in" then you will attract phony, insincere people to feed off of each others bulls$*t. That's not what you want.
You want to live a life of truth and authenticity. YOUR truth and YOUR genuineness. You have to be able to honestly say I am living a life true to who I am. Some people will be cool with it. Some will not...those who are not...screw them. It's YOUR LIFE.
Now, who are you? When you are alone in your room laying in bed, just before you fall sleep-THAT is who you are. When you wake up on a weekend morning from a refreshing night's sleep-that is who you are at your core. Only you know what brings you joy, pleasure and a feeling of pride. Only you know what you feel as your true passion. You are the expression of your dreams, goals, desires, aspirations, fears, concerns, doubts, and love. Finding who you are is really easy. Simply look at yourself in the mirror and honestly describe the person you see from the inside out.
That's who you are supposed to be. From there, walk through the paces of your life with authenticity and integrity. Most importantly, treat others the way you want to be treated.
