How do u know who u r?

Question

i've seen a lot of answers regarding personal problems with friends and relationships that state, "just b urself." how do we know who that is. i dont know if most of u will think i'm just really stupid, and i know i'll get a lot of "duh"s but i need 2 ask.

there r a lot questions about people having a hard time talking 2 a girl/boy or being lonely and stuff and maybe a big prob is that we dont know who we r. i'm just asking so u can write whatever u want cuz i know i'm stupid, but if someone could just explain, how do we know who we r, 2 b urselves?

By discovering more about yourself like in the things you are really good at and in what you don't do so well.

to be yourself is to act live the person you naturally are without being self conscious about yourself ( the person your are most comfortable being )

Answer 3

I don't consider you or your question stupid at all,, I am 54 and still question myself in this regard,,  All I can tell you,,being yourself is making your own decisions , dressing and acting the way that you like, and not too just fit in,,  Being able to talk with someone without having to agree with them,(even when you disagree)  Actually being able to Share a conversation and having the subject something you both enjoy,   Being able to voice your opinion with out worrying what the other people will say because it is your opinion and you believe what you are saying,,  Being able to tell some one No and sticking to it,,     I hope this helps you ,, Good Luck

i think people come to this website more for advice and suggestions to make them more open minded about their situations and to maybe hear things from differetn views that they might have missed before.

Your actions show your true character, so getting advice on this website before you act might be good for some people

Answer 5

People are usually themselves around friends or family (people they are comfortable around). That's how you should behave around everyone...that's what 'be yourself' means.

Answer 6

you're not stupid this is pretty philosophical question and is hard to answer..i'm lazy to rant but what i think what makes person in short is not only genes but also environment around, u want that or no but it still has some influence on u, actually everything what's around us less or more has some influence on us, so i think maybe it's even impossible to know what really really u are like, because things we experience while living changes ourselfs in small bits, also we change real ourselfs when find idols and try to be like them, even if it's subconsciously and we don't wanna admit it it still changes a bit our way of mind well somehow like that

..but if take this question lightly then ofcourse as others said it's just act like u wanna how it's more comfortable to u n stuff...

Answer 7

try looking back at your life and the experiences you had... how did you respond, how did you act....

do you respect yourself?... what kind of a person are you?.. how do you treat people... how would you describe yourself, how would others describe you...

take personality test...  

hows is your self esteem?... whats been the most influencial event in your life... whats the most positive thing to happen to you.. the most negative...

yes this is a lot of bull stuff.. but its important stuff too... may help you answer your question about who u r.....

only you can say who you are.... you know yourself better than anyone else....  

good luck
