Anyone out there ever had an identity crisis,like when you don't know who or what you are anymore...I think I've been having them since I was about 9.It just feels like I can't pull all of the strands of my life,activities and mindset into a unified whole.I am pulled hither and thither by conflicting desires and life-goals.I find it hard to commit myself wholeheartedly to any one ambition.I'm slowly getting somewhere,things are beginning to fall into place in a better way for me...But I think society and the media tries to get us to objectify ourselves in a way I just can't pay attention to anymore.I'm quite happy these days,just drifting and free-floating through life,but I worry for when I get older.I guess we should enjoy the moment,hey?
We all (should) have identity crisis or else we forget that we know basically nothing about who, why, where or what we are. So yes, enjoy the moment. That's what you life is anyway, a very, very, very short moment in time.
i've always known where i was. couple of times i've lost track of where everything else was, but myself has always been right there. i guess that's because i've never tried to define myself in terms of other people's perceptions or expectations. sure this has never made me rich or popular, but i very seriously doubt either would have made me any happier.
The only time I had an identity crisis was when I was a teenager, struggling between my sexuality and what society expected of me. Since then, I have realized that I am better off accepting that I am the anti-christ.
Identity crysis is there so you can learn and evolve and get stronger after it ends, before another one comes...
No need to worry. There is a website on that Silkroad place, where you can buy a new identity if you have lost yours. Thoughtful people, you can even get high limit credit cards with your new id. Who said the world is all selfish people these days?
