You do not say how old you are but I guess to ask the question you are  comparatively young.

I am now in what is my opinion young/middle adult years and I now know who I am.

When I was younger, there were tons of people I wanted to be and tried to emulate right up into my 20's.

It was only when I realised that I had to be myself, that I understood that before anyone else would accept me as ME that I had to aceept ME as me.

During my youth I had masses of friends, male and female, as I played in a locally successful Rock Band. However once this broke up and the people in the band married or moved away, so did the masses of so called friends.

The only people I now still have contact with are those who couldn't care less who I was,trying to try to be, but, who knew who I was inside to start with..

A true friend will be your friend no matter what. But be careful, because there are a lot of people who you think are good, who will only be around you because of what they themselves can get from you if you are popular.

At the end of the day, I often wonder what has happened to those I knew and trusted, but who let me and themselves down.

Who knows?  

All the best  friend, Just be yourself and truth, love and honesty will prevail.

Answer 2

I am not influenced in the least by TV.

Reason 1 is that I hardly ever watch TV.

#2, that are no meaningful characters to mimic.

#3, TV tries to use s*x as a selling point aka, s**y women. Life is not really like that.

#4, reality TV is not real. Its staged.

#5, commercialism

Answer 3

I dont have a clue about who I am.

But I do think you are influenced by what you watch, not purposefully but it does happen!

The amount of times I have said something and people have said "oh you sound like..."and its someone off some tv show, I wouldnt say I do it on purpose I think that maybe part of my personality matched others.

great question

Answer 4
