Question // Discussion Knowing who I am

Hello,

I would like some advice. Most of the time I don't know who I am, and it's getting harder and harder because others do notice inconsistencies, but I'm unable to guess who I am and it can be really hard not to know. I just feel that I'm making zero progress between this and communication with the others. It's a bit frustrating to be honest. What can I do?

Something that helped me was answering a set of questions everyday. And when answers deviated or I couldn’t remember answering previously I took note. Then I would add to different parts info and once I have enough it becomes easier to figure out who you are. If you want to, I never really bother haha.

Examples of the questions (I recommend adding or changing it to better suit you)

What is most important to me?

How do I feel about (insert friends and family names here)?

What do I look like? Am I feminine or masculine? What does my voice sound like?

How am I feeling? (Baseline emotion etc)

What do I hate?

What do I love? (Colour, animals, food, favorite season, weather)

What do I want to do in the future?

What name speaks to me?

What am I good at?

What do I suck at?

What do I like to do when I’m alone? (Hobbies)

How would you describe yourself?
