The best way to find out who you are is to spend time with yourself. If you aren't sure what you really like to do, just spend some silent time. No TV, radio, computer,etc. If you know what you enjoy doing, do it by yourself. And if you discover that there are parts of who you are that you don't like, don't judge yourself! This is why you feel fake. You need to accept you for who you are and not what you think other people want you to be. I went through a mental illness years ago and this really helped me 'pull myself together'. I still discover things I never quite knew, some good, some bad, but as long as you let yourself be who you are, you will find out

To find who you are, you have to search deep within yourself. Take a look in the mirror one day. It should be easy to know who you are and the fake you. Some people who are fake put on a happy face to please the world, to be accepted, and because the only time they feel safe, is when they are not themselves. I agree, there are influences out there, but that shouldn't affect you to the point you can not identify with your own individuality.
I do understand the feeling of being lost, it is difficult to realize exactly who and what you are. Sometimes, I even question if it's possible to really know. Just be yourself, forget what people think, be diverse, and let your voice be heard in this corrupted world.

You know it is a very hard thing today to know who you are, cause there is so much going on in the world, and there are so much presser that is being put on you by your peers, and that. It is hard to know who you are, and if you are being a fake, but you are not, you just need to go and get out there, and find what you want to do and do it. Live your own life, and enjoy it, cause if you listen to everyone everytime then you are not going to get to be yourself. Cause some people think something is cool does not mean that you have to do it, or if they think it is not cool, well why worry, it is your life, and you do not have to prove to them that you are cool. You need to be who you feel you are, and not what they expect you to be. So please just be yourself, and do not try to impress those that think you need to. You have no one to impress, but yourself , and the lord. So just be yourself, and you will find it will work out ok.

There is, in fact, so much influence in our world but take every single aspect of your surroundings and define the similarities, let's say,.. your friends like to dress in certain way, do you dress same as then or different?, are you a follower or have your own personality. You might be surprised you do, and nothing wrong with that, it's great not having to please anybody.
Also, what your friends have in mind in terms of education or gaols, I'm sure you probably don't have the same.
Everyday you'll find things you like and dislike and that's what make you so unique.

To find yourself all you have to know is what you want out of life or what you want to do. That is it. Do not allow yourself to be infuenced by anything else except what is important in the overall scheme of your life. Ask yourself what it is that you want to accomplish here and then take control of your own destiny. Its really not that hard to exclude the fakes because nothing exists except what is in your own mind and heart. Just believe in yourself no matter what happens and things will always work out.

"Mind Your Head"
[Verse 1:]
You wanna be in the headline
Your name in black and white
You wanna go for the big time
Can't shake the feeling
You wanna walk in the limelight
And take the road by storm
You wanna reach for the highlight
And be the new thing
[Pre-chorus 1:]
I told you from the start
There's nothing wrong with what you said
But deep inside my heart
I wanna tell you
[Chorus:]
Mind your head
Get out of bed
Don't realize your own demise
You gotta redefine your state of mind
So take as read
The word has said you gotta mind you head
