I have always struggled to define who I really am. I am confused about it.
I don’t have any conviction of any sort of identity.
I easily like certain things/topics at one moment then after maybe a couple weeks or even a day I begin to not like those same things/topics.
It feels like a lot of people know who they are and have strong beliefs of who they are.
How does one know for 100% who they are and are sure of it?
What do you like? What do you believe in? There is a good place to start!
Do you like winners…do you like the losers…do you go for the favourite…do you go for the underdog…
There’s plenty of other questions but schizophrenia can leave you disconnected. That isn’t such a good thing in the modern world where many folks are frozen out of the loop so to speak.
I’m sure your interesting! I’m sure you have a story of how you got to here! It might not be the greatest story ever told but it is a story…
I like stories…never get tired of them! You are who you are and that is story enough!
If I were you I would be reluctant to let other people impose the identity they think is best on you. Decide who you are based on your own beliefs.
Nobody has been imposing anything on me.
I just feel like my mind is losing my identity…if I ever had one to begin with.
It’s a strange feeling.
I think that for most people it’s a “fake it til you make it” thing. That’s what I’m learning.
I didn’t think anyone was imposing anything on you. It’s just that when some people sense that a person is vulnerable they think that entitles them to own you.
I have troubles with my personality too. I even dont know which food I like, in what I believe. Its pathological in my case, I was even diagnosed as borderline once… My moral values are not so good either, I am just lost.
In my worst states, when I feel bad, I even feel like another person. I dont feel one stable ‘‘me’’. I guess it just happens in schizophrenia sometimes 
me too I wonder how the other schizophrenics have strong personalities while mine is confused a lot…
take care jackie
I totally understand when it comes to liking/disliking something. I don’t think I’ve ever had a concrete personality. If someone asked me to describe myself and my interests, I wouldn’t have much to say.
I am what you think I am until someone says differently. Then I become that.
I don’t really have an identity I stick behind, I blend in for whatever situation I am in.
Example, I’m with my friends so I act humorous and from time to time, outgoing; With my family (except my closest who are my dad and sister), I’m quiet and reserved, I act totally different than if I was with friends.
In public, I’m about the same way as I act with my family, I don’t really wanna talk to anyone.
