In my opinion, the journey of finding yourself is an everyday thing. Each day we question the things we enjoy, the choices we make, and the future ahead.
Finding one self never does end, since we constantly change. At one point in my life, I may wish to be a veterinarian... 5 years later, I may have a very strong desire to be a basketball coach. But careers are just one aspect of ourselves.
To me, really knowing yourself is understanding your strengths and weaknesses.. knowing how to use those to your advantage.
Honestly dealing with the issues that bother you, and not completely forgetting about them -- but being able to come to terms.. at least finding peace through the pain.
If I were to believe I truly knew myself, I would be secure in my thoughts, actions, and self. I would be able to overcome obstacles by knowing how to best approach them. I would have the ability to be a strong, vital person.
We can all hope... can we not? :)

it makes no sense to me either. to me tho, its just an EXCUSE to run over a certain subject w out being ?d on it. id say to find who you are in the sense that they want to find out what they want to do w their life. like what line of work they really want to go into and what their plan for life will be. now you can do that on ur own or w someone, unless that someone is bringing you down! ppl could be or have been going thru bad times and want to get their lives back on track and that would be getting to find urself. doesnt make too much sense tho, no. bc if u dont know who u r, then why r u here?

Over time a person can lose themselves...they may become a nurse, lawyer, teacher, wife or mother...or a combination of them...and they allow their profession to define who they have become...I'll speak from personal experience, my partner says I don't know who I am anymore, this was during a transition period of always being mom and our last child becoming an adult herself. Mom didn't know where that left her and who is she suppose to be...change was inevitable but she wasn't prepared for it...she needed to find herself in order to readjust to her changing role and responsibilities as a parent with adult children....this can be a difficult transition if you don't want to let go of the one in fear of the losing who you've become.

right now I wish I could go out and "find who I am" which means I'm so busy all the time being a mom, and a fiancee to a jealouse man I wonder who I would be if I didn't have all those responsibilities and dependants in my life. Don't get me wrong I love my daughter with all my heart but I feel I missed out on finding out "who I am"

Actually why do you need to find yourself when you are already there? Sometimes we get so carried away about what we think we should be, this image of perfection that we need to find when we overlook what we really are.
Take away all the masks, all the charades, all the self hate and you will find yourself. Finding yourself is acceptance of who you are, not a search for the holy grail.

I don't think it's BS. It has something to do with finding out what really matters to you, who's the real you and who's a fake. We all make changes to gain approval from others. But if these changes interfere with what you really want in life, it's time to look inwards and..yes "find yourself".

It's BS for "I'm very selfish and don't care about anyone else in the world but me right now."
