Who Am I?
Do you live two or more different lives? Is it even possible? Yes it is, I know because I live four different lives.
I don't even know who I am any more. I just want to be me but people won’t like me if I act like me. I act different in school, with friends out of school, around family and then when I am on my own I act like myself sometimes.
I find it hard to be myself as I have lied about who I am so much that I am beginning to believe that lie. Even now I don't want to say what I am really like in case I get comments saying things like, no you're not, or, as if you're like that.
The truth is I’m scared of being myself because so many people are judgemental. I just feel like I don't belong anywhere. I want to be me but every time I say I'm going to be myself I don't know where to begin.
I have decided that I’m going to be myself and I don't care what people say about me. I don't know how long I will be able to keep it up for, so I am putting facts about me on here. If you don't like who I am then tough and if you're meant to be a friend of mine and don’t like me then that shows how much of a friend you really are when you're judging me for being me. Right now I feel really sick and scared to put up facts about myself but I’m fed up of hiding.
I can be kind of shy around people I don't know, mainly family and family friends.
I like school and to be honest I want to do homework that’s set so I can get good levels and succeed in life.
Everyone seems to want the latest gadgets but I’m happy with what I got even if it is 20 years out of style.
I love singing and dancing even though I am not good at it.
I don't wear make up.
I hate swearing and won't be swearing starting now.
I can be very emotional, I normally hide my emotions when I’m sad or feeling anything but happiness.
I like theSprout as it is a good way to let people know how you feel without them knowing exactly who you are (unless you told them your username).
That's the facts about me. I don’t care if people take the Mick because I will just be the bigger person and ignore it. If anyone hides who they truly are then I hope they can copy my courage and let people know who they really are.
Thanks for reading.

Great article! Also I looked up the origins of the phrase 'taking the Mick' while editing this... how rude!

It's a clich but you've got to try and be yourself, if even if you're not sure who you are, but that's not a problem...
And yeah I know it's a clich to post this video.

Without delving too deep into philosphy, there's a theory within it that states that no true state of self exists. There is no "honest you", and that you are like an onion, with hundreds of layers of pretense. If you peel off the most superficial layers, you eventually reach the deeper layers, but even those can be removed until you have peeled off all the layers and you are left with nothing.

Did you know that if you are multi-lingual (speak more than one language) you can sub-contiously switch personalities when switching languages. Cool, huh?
(I speak fluent Welsh, English and I'm learning German)

If you don't be youself because of what others think, your not you..You should't care what others think, it's your decision. If you don't like how you are then that's your opinion if you wanna change yourself (then do it), not their opinions; and if you care what others think about you, it's the same as letting them make the decisions for you, and not having a life. No point.
