Anyone who has struggled with an identity crisis?!
Question: I think i have a major identity problem, but I don't know what it is...
Well this is going to sound kind of pathetic, but ever since 6th grade (and im in 12th grade now), I've moved to different schools at the start of each year. Well the thing is, every time I moved, I thought I could "create" like an "ideal personality" for myself. So, back then i was really really stupid, so I saw the popular girls that were liked by alot of people and I decided to imitate their personalities. And it worked actually, sometimes, but then I'd "screw-up" and return back to my normal self, which people didn't like as much.
So I trained myself to be like certain people. And I was convinced and am still half-convinced that the real me is someone that no one could like. And since then, I've been chasing these "personalities" for myself, and in the process, losing more and more of me.
And this lead me into severe depression last year. I just began to think that people could be manipulated to easily with

First, people that don't like you for who you really are, are not your friends at all. I think you have confused allot of people because you don't let them know the real you right from the start, and don't know what to think, when your personality changes.
You should see a therapist, and they can help you get back to being you! You know you have this problem, so you are obviously intelligent, but before others can like the real you, you need to like yourself. I don't think that other people don't like you, how could they, they don't even know you.
The only person in the world you have to impress is you, and the rest will follow.
