I used to feel like this alot. Like I had no personality. I did some searching and realized that personality comes from interacting with others. In order to build your personality, you need to express it and that takes time. It feels awkward at first but eventually you'll get it.
I understand feeling like our personalities were taken from somewhere else, that is pretty true. When we hang around a certain group of people alot,we start mirroring the joels they make, even sound the same, and we do it subconsciously. It happens alot with families. It's important to distance yourself sometimes so you are your own person. Your personality can come down so many different things and it makes you unique. You may not feel it is but it truly is unique, your one thoughts, feelings, perception, behaviors, the way you see things. Your personality can be affect by depression and make you seem things in a negative light, the movie "inside out 2" low-key shows this.
I don't see why your friends hate you for it. I feel flattered seeing someone make a joke I made or a phrase I used to repeat all the time. It's very normal for humans to copy each other.
I hope all do this helps 🖤🩷
have you ever thought about exploring hobbies independently to figure out what you're actually passionate about?
It seems like you're feeling a bit lost right now, and that's completely understandable! It's not uncommon to feel like your personality gets overshadowed by others, or even to feel like it's shaped by them. But remember, we are all works in progress – constantly evolving and changing as we learn more about ourselves. Perhaps try stepping back and exploring what truly makes you tick, apart from your friends' influence. Sometimes embracing new hobbies or reflecting on personal values can reveal more of who you are intrinsically 😊
dude, i totally get what you're saying. it's like every time you turn around someone else is defining who you should be. the real kicker? they're just as lost as you are! but here's the catch: once you spend some solo time exploring your interests and ditching the pressure to fit in, things start changing; you'll see yourself more clearly, without all the noise. remember nirvana's "come as you are"? that's what life's about: keeping it real and letting go of expectations 💪 don't be too hard on yourself, man; we all gotta figure it out at our own pace.
I get what you're saying and it makes me think of how I used to feel like a chameleon, constantly changing colors depending on who I was with; honestly, it's okay to pick up traits from others—it just means you're adapting and learning, which is pretty much how we grow anyway 🌱.
it's wild how much we can pick up from the people around us without even realizing it. i think a lot of folks end up feeling like their personalities are borrowed or patched together from others at some point, so you're not alone in that...
mirroring friends may simply be a facet of social identity theory where we naturally adopt traits from our peer groups; however, what truly matters is how you perceive yourself within that context...
dude, I totally get that feeling of being a chameleon in your own life. it’s like you're blending in just to survive or fit in, right? but maybe that's just the start for you; might be an opportunity to peel back those layers and see what's really there underneath. embrace the fact that everyone borrows bits from others—you're just remixing into your own version! remember, every masterpiece has its influences. 🖤
Honestly, it's crazy how many people feel like they’re just a mix of everyone else around them. It’s like we're walking compilations of our friends’ quirks and preferences. 🤯 But let’s be real; most folks are patchworks of influence until they find that groove where they're genuinely themselves. You ever think about how much media we consume—TV shows, social media influencers, even music—and then start talking or acting like those people? It's wild because that's the whole damn world right now! So maybe try cutting back on some of that noise while figuring out what you really vibe with; being your own person is kinda the ultimate life hack. Just keep in mind that feeling lost is just part of the human experience!
I understand the struggle you're experiencing; perhaps there is a need to redefine what "having a personality" means. Isn't everyone, in some way or another, influenced by their environment? For instance, I've noticed that when I'm around certain people, I adapt my mannerisms without realizing it. Yet, this adaptation doesn't necessarily mean you lack individuality; it can simply be a social survival mechanism. Have you considered whether your friends' perception might be more about their expectations rather than an actual reflection of who you are? 🤔
Have you considered identifying which aspects of your friends' personalities resonate most with you, as this might help in understanding what genuinely appeals to you and could be an integral part of your own personality?
Man, I totally feel you on this one; sometimes it’s like living in a kaleidoscope, constantly being pulled into different shapes and colors by the people around us 🙃. In my college days, I used to think that if I wasn't echoing my friends' likes and dislikes, I'd just fade away; but honestly, that was so exhausting. What helped me was taking small steps back from the crowd noise and asking myself - what do *I* actually enjoy doing even when no one's watching? That little self-investigation can be a game-changer!
man, it’s super normal to feel like a mirror reflecting everything around you. sometimes we just absorb things from others so much that it feels like we've lost our own reflection. i’ve noticed in my life, when I hang out with different friend groups, i start acting slightly different too; it's like adapting but then i'm left wondering "who am i when i'm alone?" 🤔 have you ever thought about what makes you genuinely happy or excited? exploring those little things might help you piece together your own unique vibe without all the outside influences!
It seems like you're grappling with feelings of identity loss and self-worth; it's a challenging situation to find yourself in, where the boundaries between your own personality and those of your friends become blurred...
You know, maybe it's time to pivot your focus and start fostering self-awareness; you're not just a sum of borrowed traits. I've been there—feeling like my identity is a kaleidoscope of my friends' characteristics—but sometimes you've got to dig deep and explore untouched parts of yourself!!! Have you tried dedicating time to autonomous activities or solo ventures? It's shocking how enlightening it can be when you spend time developing skills or hobbies in isolation! Your unique persona is in there somewhere, waiting for discovery; don't underestimate the power of introspection!!!
