    people are always telling me "just be yourself, blah blah blah"....but i cant...partly because im scared....but mainly because i dont really know who i am...that may sound stupid...but its true...i used to think "how could you not know who you are?"....but now i understand that and its killing me....i act so different around different people....i dont change on purpose it just...happens....and i dont really change my beliefs or taste in music or anything like that...i just feel and act different...its really hard to explain....but its tearing me apart....can someone tell me what i can do?? PLEASE??

    I'm wondering the same thing for myself but something I've found helps is to just think of someone you're really comfortable around and then just pretend its them you're around

    i think that you dont know who you are until you are comfortable with yourself...
    i know how you feel cuz i act the way you do, like i change when im with different people and thats just cuz you are adjusting to who your with. its hard to explain i guess

    try just sitting down for a long time and just thinking. like without any other people around, just sit and think of the things you like, the way you act, just really search inside yourself for the answer to that question. whenever i feel shakey about who i am, i just sit down and think to myself or write in a journal all my thoughts and it helps. i know what you mean about being afraid, that happens to me, i dont really know why, i know who i am, its just around a lot of people im afraid for some reason..like they will judge me or something, so i just hold it in. well, i hope your able to really find yourself, good luck!
