the best way to find to find yourself is by asking others about yourself, your behaviour, attitude, reaction,etc. the more you will open to others the easily you can find or discover yourself. Ask from your friends, family, your loved one and take their advice seriously. By acting on their advice you can improve yourself if you are wrong in some cases and it will also help you to become a nice human being.

MY EXPERIENCE: I was once told to find myself. It was after a devistation. The timing was perfect because after losses and near death experiences is when people really tend to figure things out. It really gets a person thinking. (which you already seem to be doing. well done.)

HOW TO: there are many ways. a basic meaning of finding yourself can just simply mean noticing yourself. Finding what you like. But I propose to you to go beyond that. Why not find what, but also WHY you like what you like. On this adventure keep in mind that there are 2 reasons why people are motivated from a psycholological point of view:
1) genetics: are you like you family because of inherited traits?.. (Nazis looooved twins because they could use them to study genetics, at a beginner and barbaric level)
2) behavioral: you do things because of you environment. (try Pavlov or B.F. Skinner if you are curious about pshchology)

If those don't suffice, you could always try to understand why you feel you are motivated to do some things and not others. Again, this is the same as finding out what you like... but maybe not... maybe it's a parallel thought.

==========

Now I leave you with this: Once you've found yourself, enjoy your self. There is a difference between lonliness and solitude. to be loney is to want others around. to be in solitude is to be with you self and to do that you must enjoy your self. (This sense of 'self' is all anyone totally has. most people flush it away on mind numbing devices and loose their individuality. aparantly this has happened to you. so, don't let it happen again.)

Go beyond your Mind..... for that
1. Listen / Study Vedantic Scriptures (Shravana)
2.Reflect on what you read or listened (Manana)'
3. Contemplate & Meditate (Niddhyasana)
Go to a Guru's Ashram like Swami Chinmayananda's ashrams in India at Sidhbari,Himachal Pradesh or at Powai near Mumbai.
and take up study.
There would be a Chinmaya Mission Centre at your place. Pl visit the web site : www.chinmaya.org

To find yourself you will first have to loose yourself, that is risk it all: its ironic that once you do find yourself after losing the self, you will be a new being (at least all religions say so), in other words your true self is the complete opposite of what you are today. I'm talking about the stranger in the mirror.

I usually find things I've lost in the place I first looked.
Beaches are supposed to be good places for finding oneself.

You need to search within yourself shutting yourself completely from any external stimulus. Meditation techniques help us shut out all external stimuli and direct the mind inward.

What kind of egg do you like? Scrambled, over-easy, boiled?

Start with something small, everyday, you'll notice yourself.

Heard that meditation - calming the mind helps.
