Is it normal to feel completely lost?

I'm never myself around anyone and I do/say things that I don't want to do/say but I do it anyway. Everyone thinks I'm so happy and smiley and loving life but I'm so unhappy it's unreal. I just don't know who I am, I don't know what I want or where I want to go in life. I feel trapped in my own body. Is this normal, does anyone else feel like this?...

    Welcome to my world. I look in the mirror and really don't know who I am. When I come home to my house sometimes I question if I truly live there and my taste in decorating, etc. I constantly wonder what other people think of me and usually I only concentrate on what might be negative.

    Do you go to parties and try to act the part, but really all your thinking of is why you are there and why you don't care about so many things that others do?

    I have had more jobs than ANYONE I have ever known, and still I don't have a passion for any one industry.

    I'm generally the cause of my relationships breaking off because I don't know what I want while I'm in one.

    One thing that will help you:

    I find the secret is to get even better at what you are good at already, whether you like it or not. This will at least give you some satisfaction and money to live on.

    Sounds like your depressed. At some point in everybody's life, we have all experienced this. :)
