OK, I have been trying to make myself someone I am no for 3 years since I have moved from my old counrty. Now I have forgotten who I really am, what should I do to get people to see ME for ME not someone else and except that?

Many people spend their entire lives trying to figure that out
I know how you feel! I'm a christian, quite a deep guy, I know what I'm good at, I know what I like doing, I know what I want to do, what I'm not good at (seems to be a joint category with what I want to do)
I know the sort of people I want to be around, but guess what
I don't have a clue what to do with my life.
I'm an artist, what the hell am I meant to do with that? I want to do music, but I don't know if I'm good enuff at it, I'm learning guitar, and I don't think I can sing very good... which sucks, because I just want to sing...
Anyway, what do you enjpoy doing? What are you good at?
Maybe if you want to have other people see you for who you really are, maybe its more important that YOU know who you are. Its really really important to find out at least what your going to do.
A good way to look at it, is think.
First think, your dead right? What do you want your epitah to say? What do you want to have written on your grave? What kind of people mourning you? How many of those mourners are only alive to mourn because of you? Who's lives have you changed? What age of death does it say on your grave mate? Does it have a little cross? Maybe a star of david on it? Maybe it has no religious mark at all. Next, after you've thought about that, think, I have 3 days to live. What am I going to do it that time? Who will I talk to in my 3 days? Will I cry? Will I smile and laugh? Will I stand in the rain, appreciate its beauty, or mope because its raining on my last days? Will I suck in all the pity and sympathy, or will I stop, in my last few hours, and help that poor old lady cross the street?
So mate, think about those questions.
Then think "what do i wanna do with my life?"
