DO You Know Who You Are?

Every day! I remember when I was a teenager, I thought I knew who I was. I was a sweet and shy girl. I thought life would be great and all my dreams would come true. Now, I look back and see how wrong I was. Life really sucks. I know that's blunt, but sometimes I feel like anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Nothing ever goes my way. My kids are my life. But I always thought that I would find the man of my dreams before I had children, but turned out I found a couple jerks. Maybe life will get better, who knows. But to answer the question, "Who am I?". I am a mother, a maid, a cook, a taxi cab driver, a friend, a lover, a worker, a co-worker, an employee, and a dreamer.

I know who I am, although there are days when I do not remember why I turned into this person. If you went to bed that early, I'd say you were very tired and needed the rest

I don't drink but I also faced this dilemma not long back but may be then its simply a thought process in our lives that we go through occasionaly. I also felt the same way a while back and just after my marriage too. I was jugglong the idea of a modern polished look with and feel my husband's office staff with the ideal bahu feel with my in laws. One day suddenly I felt I am no longer me and I am just retending to be the way people want to see me. That day I shed that pretence and started becoming more and more me. Nw I am happy may be people do not like me as I am may be they do but atleast now I like myself as who I am.

No, i don't know who i am... i am still trying to figure that out... sometimes when i think i might know i become unsure again. i don't know... i wish i knew

Hi bfarrier: It sounds like you define yourself by what you do. Since you no longer drink, you can't go to those places you used to. So, find other things to do on Friday, and Saturday nights. You could take up bowling, and join a league. They may not exactly play on Friday, but you would then become another day of the week person. You could take up poker, and have a poker night with your friends. You could take some dance classes. They are usually on Saturday nights, and you could meet an entire new group of people to socialize with. You could take up any number of hobbies that can keep you busy on the weekends. You just have to find some things you like, search out groups and others with similar interests, and go be with them. I too gave up drinking for the same reasons you did. I kept waking up in my own bed perfectly fine, checking my car which was parked perfectly without a scratch but couldn't remember how I got home. I decided to take it as a wake up call, and thought to cut my loses before I killed myself or someone else. As we grow older, we run out of energy earlier in the evening, it's just a part of life. We work hard all week to take care of our responsibilities only to get to the weekend to be too pooped to pop. That's just life, but if you can find some fun things to do on the weekends, you can make new friends, and stay energetic at the same time. Don't be so down on yourself. You just need to find some activites to replace the ones you gave up. Drinking isn't everything, and you really shouldn't let it define who you are. Hang in there.....

i guess the first thing you need to know is that god loves you and accepts you for who you are. you are special and a unique individual. you also must love yourself first because how can you love other people if you don't love yourself. you have to reinvent yourself all the time. you try new things. you do things that you love doing just for the fun of it. you become the person god wants you to be. try reading the purpose driven life by rick warren or become a better you by pastor joel osteen. you focus on the good things that god gave you. your talents. you try to motive yourself all the time. you surround yourself with people who loves you and who knows how to bring out the best in you. stay away from destructive vices. it wont help you. it will just bring you down and confuse you even more. there are a lot of reasons to be happy. just being alive is a gift from god.just count all of your blessings. i'm sure you have a lot of it.

I have a very good idea who I am, and how I became who I am. The first step was relinquishing religion. Religion has its limitations, and is difficult to get away from once you get bogged down in it. After that, I began studying Spirituality and doing Yoga. With the Yoga came Meditation and Past Life Therapy.Some time later, I began to see some of my Past Lives. I learned a lot about myself,and it was not all good either. But "live and learn," I became well acquainted with who I was then, and how I came to be who I am now.

im pretty sure who i am. everybody chances the older they get through experiences they have, you may not even notice til one day you look back and see what you used to do or act like befor certain experiences

I guess you didn't have time to figure out who you were when you were busy getting drunk and blotting out life. Congratulations on taking a turn and good luck on the journey of self discovery.

yes,i always know who i am ,i am a mother for my 5 years old daughter,i am also a teacher for her in life ,i am a worker for a company,i have to work from Monday to Friday,it is only way for making money.i still have a lot thing to do for me for my daughter.ah!i have to know who i am always.

I feel like this sometimes, but not as much as I used to. It does seem like alot goes wrong all the time, and nothing goes the way I want it to though. Even though this is true, i still know who I am. I know what I would like to do with my life, and what I plan to do. I will be moving in a about a month, so hopefully once i get settled everything will start to get better.

man is the duplicate of destiny,,,in my childhood ,I also have this optiion:who am I? why not am i a dog? Now ,I see it, I am a person,,,but who is person? person is a clever animal? but what is the animal? animal is a living thing????so...so....where is living thing come from????what on earth ???? this is a difficulty question? this is a comipulicated question for us ..... my answer for you is I am I,,,,not the second answer,,,

Firstly, i think you'd better drink less for your health.and then if you have something unhappy, tell you friend,or listen to the music.drinking can not solve any problem.

I drink soft drinks and never tried it.Any thing small quantity is safe.

I have gone through times in my life when I didn't really know who I was anymore because I felt angry and depressed all of the time, I felt like I was no longer myself and had no idea how to find myself again. I did find myself again, but only after realizing that I am who I am, and if I am unsure of who I am it is time for me to do something about it. I would end up making small, positive changes in my life, one by one until I found myself again. I am happy to say that I have not lost myself for quite a whole now.

I thought I knew myself till the time i was there with my x-bf.but now after getting married on jan 13th of this year I feel that whatever i do or talk is wrong n i know nothing n now i feel I dont know myself coz i got married by contradicting myself in many ways ............ but its okay i try my best to know myself again but i do really feel bad sometimes.

I know who I am as a person & I give my self respect so that I can know who I am a person
