I feel very much like myself. I have a very powerful sense of identity in who I am and an anger at the thought of misrepresenting who I am. So I definitely feel like myself. But at the same time, sometimes I feel like there are other emotional states or self concepts that I can find myself desiring when I disassociate myself from my current identity and from consequences in the real world. I guess generally the idea that most people have is that you must have a true self, and if you desire some sort of self that’s different from the way you’re acting out in the real world, you must be living as a fake or something. But I kinda wonder, is there actually one self that’s the true self, or do we all just kind of end up the way we are because of the circumstances we live through? I think I’ve been pushed into this box of being reserved, highly cautious, conflict avoidant, and determined towards some ambition at the same time. It’s like, when people sort of cause problems with you for no reason for long enough, and you’re aware they’re causing problems for you for no reason, and you become aware they do it more often when you’re being successful at something, it has some psychological effect on you. On the one hand, it made me more reserved, but on the other hand, there’s a contrarian component to it, which is if I feel like you don’t want me to have something that just makes me want it more and hate you. But is that really a personality or just a baseline emotional state that’s a learned behavior? If nobody ever bothered me and I was just free to be me without fear my whole life, would I have ended up like this?

you sound like an annoying person
I am very doubtful of your claim that other people caused all of your problems unprovoked. That's a very ridiculous thing to say.
And obviously your personality is built by what you experiende and how you live. If you were a man instead of a sissy you'd probably be able to recognise your failings in life and deal with them appropriately instead of becoming a loser.

I don't feel very much like myself, most thoughts I'm trapped with come from external sources, whatever I've experienced before in life.

The world around us shapes who we are; it's the environment and the 媒體 that makes up most of our personality. Everyone starts off as a blank slate.

The blocked word was “media”, I thought it was “external source”.
