I hope I'm not changing myself for other people. I hope I'm being myself because to be honest, I act different around certain groups of people. 

1.) Family (including parents)

2.) HR friends.

3.) Friends at hs

4.) Adults

5.) A certain somebody

6.) On the internet

Who am I really? I'm having an identity crisis. I was very aware of this already. People give you advice of "being yourself". What is this "you" they speak of? What have you the right to tell someone how to act? I mean, is it really you taking the initiative to act the way you want to act or is it because people tell you to be "you" that you act a certain way that you think is "yourself"?

The thing is, everyone you meet, they will have their own image of you made up in their brains and everyone's perspective of who you are is going to be different and when they tell you to be you are they speaking of the you they see or what?

I don't know who I really am. I'm a mix of so many things, so many personalities that it just is what I am. There is no you. I can't be myself. I was never myself. I'm only an entity existing in this large universe and the universe doesn't give a damn about who I am. 

I hate that advice to be "yourself". Just act how you want to act (doesn't mean you can hurt others though >_>). I have pondered time and time again, turning these facts over and over in my brain.

Damn, thinking this through it must have been stupid. Possibly, people probably mean be who you want to be and not shape your actions around what other people say. However, most of our actions are shaped around what people say, our experiences, society expectations, everything. They have entered our train of thought and has impacted our life is one way or another. They created the you everyone speaks of. It's so contradictory the way people tell you to be yourself and that you shouldn't take in to mind outside opinions and factors. But you do. You let them in anyway. You wrap your head around it and it becomes a part of you. 

That is what you are.
