Acting

Lately, I've been obsessed with the idea that I'm an actress- that just I try on different roles based on ppl I meet or see on TV. (This all stems from one little but strangely intense and creepy comment my mother made about me being an actress). I'm scared that I have no idea who I am and that I don't have an identity because I'm not one person, I'm just a mix of a bunch of other people. I now monitor everything I say to keep myself from "acting" or seeming pretentious, but now I say very little. I want to "find myself" but am scared that this is just pointless and that I'm just needlessly complicating my life. But I feel like if I don;t really know myself, I'll never be able to connect with anyone else-- which is the biggest thing I want out of life. Help me!! Tell me if this is normal and how I can stop because I don't know!!

    Life is a stage filled with drama and tears.. and we're all God's puppets. Does that help? Yea, it doesn't really help me, either :p

    Here's the way I look at it. Your personallity differs, based on the people you're around, correct? This could be because you ARE like those people, and the way you act when you're near them IS you, but you can be that side of you, because that's how they are, and that's what they accept. It's not two-faced, or "fake." It's natural, I think. So don't worry, you're you. There're just a couple variations to your personality, and you let each one out when it's the appropriate time.
