interesting question...
did life make me the way I'm or did I make myself the way I'M?
I think it's a bit of both...
but mostly it was the situations n circumstances, struggles n pain that I went through that has shaped me n my personality..
all the events in my life has made my psyche very strong...n numb...n I have lost the liveliness I had as a kid...
so, nope...dont really think I like the way I'm...as a kid I never imagined this is how i'm gonna turn out to be like...
but at the same, I accept myself the way I'm...I have no regrets..

I think most people know how they became the way they are now.
All down to past experiences mainly as a child, and possibly the way we were taught! But mainly I feel down to the initial stages of life.
Am I happy with the way I am now??
'Content' would be a better word, but my idea of content could well be some one Else's nightmare, for example, you may be one who requires lots of love and attention, I don't, I squirm at the very thought! In fact I will go out of my way to ensure that I don't get it, except from a chosen few.
A very thought provoking question, I enjoyed thinking about it

I'm not totally happy with the way I turned out, but I sure have a pretty good idea of what led to the way I am today: heredity and upbringing, and I come from a VERY crazy family, and not crazy in a GOOD way.

did i tell you that i like your questions? lol. i like your questions.
"do you ever wonder how you became the way you are?" yes. i have dissected that part of me. since the moment i started to wake up from my long slumber in life, i've always wondered why i am the way i am. mostly it has to do with the environment (i.e. my character, virtues, principles etc.) and the part of me that i inherited from my parents (i.e. IQ and such).
"and are you happy with the way you are?" yes and no. there are some things about me that i like...e.g. the way i always try to see the two sides of the coin, the fact that i always try to be fair, that i look before i leap, that i always am frank no matter what cost.... but there are also some things that i don't like about myself...e.g. how badly i procastinate, how impatient i get sometimes with stupid or slow people, how i hate the fact that other people degrade other individuals simply because of their ignorance etc...
but you know, the thing is, it is always a matter of choice. if you realize the things that you don't like in yourself, it is always your choice to change them. every once in a while, i encounter these things about me that i dont like and i try to change them. i try to be the person that i want to be. i know it takes time, but patience has its worthwhile results. and besides, we have a lifetime to change the things about us that we don't like, dont we?

i think about it all the time. i always look back to events that happend in my life that may have caused me to be unhappy.
i am happy with the way i am though, i think the world would be a better place if it was full of people like me. im not being cocky, i just think theres a lot of cruel people in the world and id put them down before id put myself down.

It is all because of genetics and our surroundings. We all wonder where we came from. I think that is natural. We all think about our past and what it could have been. We all wonder about who we are now and where we are going. Again, I think it is natural. It is human nature.
I know I am not perfect but yes, I am happy with who I am.

Events in early childhood shape who you are today. Some say that it even begins in the womb.
Am I happy? No. But I am willing to except myself for who I am.

I have wondered... I dissected myself mentally to find out what makes me tick... Only to find out after having the epiphany... I had changed again. I am happy with what I know about myself.
