What do you think of who am I?

Question

I don't know if y'all seen that video of a dude that made a good point, many of us speak about ourselves In a strange perspective, i need this, I need that, this looks good on me, you are this and that, my face, my body, my eyes, my brain, my stomach, my feelings, my emotions, but who am my? He also made the point that many people get so lost on all the physical things that they not only lose themselves in the process but they made a full physical world their reality and til this day who am I remains a valid question. 🤔

"Who am I" is a  fundamental question to me  and I think the answer is as narrow as it is open-ended lol. Due to conscience, identity has to be something extraordinary complex, it's what I learned, from sources that keep  expanding the question  as well as providing leads to follow. From where I stand, each of us are made of many components to trace back depending on the never-ending  PERSPECTIVES ! I am how nature made me, biology I am what culture did to me, sociology I am what parents did to me, developmental psychology I am what I rationally think I am and I am my actions, philosophy I am what I became/become, interacting with others, psychosocial I am what is perceivable and what is hidden within me, psychoanalysis I am... unique and insignificant in the great scheme of things, spirituality Here is who I am and here are who you all are, according to what I believe in, so It's complicated.

I personally think humans are too multi-faceted, and complex to give a solid answer to that question.. Unless you go with something you believe in rather than just yourself and your qualities.. Something above yourself.. Something that gives you a sense of purpose.

I think it's a good question as well. In my school, we've been going through a project called "Love Like Lexi" that is meant to help with suicide prevention and awareness. We were told to write down the things that make us ourselves. Then we were asked that if all of those things that we said made us ourselves went away, then what would we be. I think it's a great question, but a bit of a scary one.

For instance, let's say you would put down, "Being a good volleyball player is who I am" and then you get such a severe injury that you can no longer play volleyball, then who are you now?

See what I mean?

So yeah, I think that question is a great question to be quite honest.

I think it rings true. I unfortunately have focused on my looks for so long that it's made me agoraphobic and afraid to go out into the world. I'm definitely a lost soul when it comes to that.

I do think though that I know SOME of who I am though. I'm a kind person that's nicer to others than I ever am to myself and I love my kids unconditionally. If that's all I will ever be, then maybe that's enough on its own.
