I am who I am, sometimes.

I am who I should be, sometimes.

I have no earthly idea, sometimes.

> Who are you?


I am the sum total of my experiences both good and bad...happy and sad...I am also a package of sorts that can be misjudged ...because of all of this..I am kind, I am nice, I can have a temper, I have issues with anxiety but I am NOT my dx and I am NOT just a few labels...blonde, pretty, sweet etc...I am a human being with much to give. I am a child of God.

Holy cow! Do I have a lifetime to meditate on this? What a tough question. All I can come up with is this: I am me.

Seems a bit inadequate. But perhaps that's the secret?

Good, tough question.

I am

...the slow creep of tears

...a wry smile

...well dressed (great shoes"!)

...daughter, sister, wife, friend, boss

but mostly
...my children's mother

> Who are you?

this is a hard question because i have trouble seeing myself as more than the way other people see me. i tend to say what i think people want to hear and do what they want me to or expect me to. hmm.. but, i am a kind, sensitive, and unique person with a lot of interests. i am nice to people who have hurt me in the past because i think everybody is worthy of being forgiven. i am a thoughtful person who cares about people i know and people i do not know as well as i would like to. i am misunderstood a lot of the time and wish that people would always accept me. i just want people to love me. i am a human being worthy of all the good things in life and hope one day to be happier than i am now or have ever been ...

good question. it's hard to answer it w/out falling into what a person does and who they really are. two separate things, i think.

This is a good question and hard to answer.

I am a hundred thousand whirling thoughts that often seem to come to nothing and don't make sense

I often cannot see where I begin or end, but, when blessed, feel that each one of us touches the other and becomes one living whole, filling the universe.

Sometimes I am empty and feel that I don't exist

Sometimes I am full of love, sometimes full of tears, sometimes the tears are full of love....sometimes despair...

Always I am grateful to all of you Babblers, just for being there... and to my husband, my children, my grandchildren, my relations, my friends and especially to my T who is struggling to help me find out who I am. You are all a part of that. I think we are never the same - we change from day to day and with each new experience, each new insight we alter and grow. So perhaps there is no fixed answer to "Who am I?" .... perhaps it might be easier to say "I am the kind of person who........" Perhaps that could start another thread? Love and thanks to everyone.
