I was looking for myself?

Question

I found myself in the 90's, now I am stuck there, and I luv it! sad that I left myself there.
(now time for the question!)
have you ever lost yourself and then found it somewhere, if so where and are you still there?

Answer 1

I think I lost myself at age fourteen, a year after my father died. Before my father died, I was a little shy, grounded, outspoken, and opinionated; I know you're wondering how can a person be outspoken and shy but I only opened up to people who I thought needed to hear what I had to say or who treated me right.
When my dad died, I thought no one wanted to love me because I wasn't getting attention from my mom who favored the other kids over me and a few other siblings. I lost myself and began looking for love in all the wrong places; I became all the things I hated and encouraged other people not to do and not to become - I did this for three years. At age seventeen, I met my husband who opened my eyes to the mistakes that I was making, he opened my eyes to see all the people that were hurting more deeper than I thought, he helped me realize that I had to regain who I was in order to save our relationship, and he also reminded me that he is me (in more ways than I care to reveal here and now; just yet). I found myself during me and my husband's relationship which has been about four years now. I'm continuing to find myself and I am still here because a person keeps learning as time goes on; learning never stops even after death.

Answer 2

Yeah, same as you, I found myself in the 90s and loved it there, but I slowly moved out of the 90s. I haven't quite found my new self in the 2000 yet.

Answer 3

Yes i lost myself so many times, i only found it now- for the last few months anyway.
Now I can actually know what I really want in life.

Answer 4

I lose myself every time I fall asleep. I find myself every time I wake up. In my sleep, my self becomes de-unified--it comes apart into component pieces--and when I wake up it re-integrates into a more or less unified person.

Answer 5

The last time I lost myself, I eventually checked under the sofa cushions, and bingo, there I was.

Answer 7
