Just one of those things

For a while I've been trying to figure out who I am. However, every time I thought I had deciphered something, in the end I'd discover that it wasn't quite right. It could just be that "me" changes from moment to moment, rather than developing into a static identity.

I've tried to just let things be as they are, but that has only made things more confusing. These days, the more I just sit back and reflect, the more it seems like I've had an identity all along. The problem is that it appears to be someone else, and there's only so much of it that can be expressed, willfully or not. Now that I think of it as someone else, rather than as myself, I'm starting to see this other person. And, the more I do, the more sense everything makes. Or, at least, it does better to explain who I am than the other things that I've tried.

But, again, I could be wrong. And simply crazy. Nothing knew there. ;/

Identities are like reputations: They're built up over time, and oh so easy to demolish. You can act however you like, or think you like, but just one little situation that disagrees with your personality can change it.

Or maybe I just watch too many movies.

Or I'm crazy like you.

So yeah, the second one.

But it sounds like the first option, to me. XD

Or so it seems. You've got some time before you ever finish reading my book. :wink:

Anyway, we need more votes. There must be something wrong with people. Medic!

People are weird. Last week I couldn't get on because everyone else was. Now nobody's getting on. :?

I agree. :D

Ehem! Jokes aside... We should have at least twenty people who would be capable of voting. Polls are kind of pointless and end up with pointless posts like these if we don't have a substantial amount of voters. It's not like it takes much time or effort to vote in a poll, so I don't know what people are thinking. Maybe I'm just delusional since posting in poll topics is harder than voting and that comes easily to me; in fact, there is no poll topic that I have never posted in if I have also voted.

In the end, all that I can say is this: don't let the poll's dreams be so much dirt swept under a rug! :o

My actual answer is I don't know. I know what comprises other peoples personalities and motivates their actions with very little effort required however I have not a clue as to the same about myself. The average person on the street probably could tell you more about my personality and nature than I myself will ever puzzle out.

To put it simply, from my point of view, I am a person with thousands of masks that I use to deal with everything I encounter, even introspection, and as such have little to no actual real personality to call my own.
