Default How do I find myself?

I would like to understand who I am and what I am capable off.


I just had this incredible feeling of following the herd, when I really would like to know how to find out the real me.


Does that make any sense or am I needing sleep?

You'll always find yourself in a mirror

Try jumping off a 10 storey office block and see if you can fly. If you hit the deck then you know you wont be capable of flying and of course it wont matter either way

Seriously though, have a w@nk, it'll bring things into perspective

You'll only be following the advice of the herd if you act upon what we say.

No - you probably don't need sleep! There's several ways that you could start.

1. Lots of expensive therapy.....
2. Do something you're really scared of - I did an abseil down a 120ft building one - scared the **** outta me, but learned something new about myself.
3. Question yourself constantly - Why, Why, Why. Why did I think that? Why do I believe in that? etc.
4. Read books and go listen to people who you violently disagree with (hanging aorund here for a while could do it! ) - it will make you question why you disagree with them. Most people read stuff about people they agree with - you don't really learn a lot about yourself that way.

Just some thoughts - have fun!

according to R D Laing it's due to lack of primary ontological security.

which means go out and build your own set of experiences.
