Your real self is who you truly are. Who you are is simply what makes you happy. You know that gut feeling you have at times, pulling you toward something? That's your true self trying to come out. We suppress it alot, for many reasons. We may ignore it because what we are being pulled to do is something that is not an interest of the people we hang out with, so we ignore the tug because we don't want to lose friends. Or maybe we feel we will be ridiculed. Or maybe we feel we will be a failure at it. There are many reasons why we suppress our true self.If you want to figure out your personality, first of all, rid yourself of caring what others may think about you. This doesn't matter. If you lose your friends, you will make more who are more like minded with you. If you are ridiculed, lets face it, there are always going to be people who disagree with your choices. Even if we changed ourself to please THEM, there would be others who disagree with THOSE choices. It's a never ending battle trying to get everyone to agree with the way you are, because everyone is different, and it simply is not possible. Think about what makes YOU happy, not others. It is YOUR life, and you are the one who will be dealing with all the choices you make, not them. In the end, their opinions do not matter.So get rid of the fear of being ridiculed. If you fear failure, remember that you will always be a failure if you do not even make an attempt. It is better to give something your all, and be 2nd best, than to not try at all, and be left with nothing, not even the experience. In the end it is the experiences of it that you will remember, and be proud of. Next, after you rid yourself of your fears, you need to start to remember the true you. To do this, you simply pay attention to those little tugs you feel, and go with them. You may not know where it is leading you, but to ignore them, you will be missing out on a great number of opportunities and experiences. When you feel the tug, you are either being pulled toward something that will bring you ultimate joy, or you are being pulled away from something that will not bring you joy. Listen to yourself. Your true self already knows who it is. It is always trying to get us to remember. Its the outside influences that make us forget. Ignore the outside influences, and begin to listen to yourself. You will begin to discover a whole new side of you that you never knew existed. And you will be truly happy, because you will be truly yourself. Speaking from experience.

15m you say? well listen, that's is probably the most miserable, obsessive, self-focused time in anyone's life. the whole self-esteem thing is bogus as far as teenagers are concerned. everyone has low self-esteem by definition when they're 15. but you show a great deal of introspection when you say "i act really different in my mind compared to the way i act outside my room and i beat myself up in my mind everyday"--everyone does that, to some degree, even once we're grown up. how can you reconcile your real self to your best-case-scenario self? set aside the stuff like, "i hate my nose" or "my knees" or anything else that would require surgery to correct. imagine your best-case-scenario YOU. do you feel more confident, flirty, funny, clever around certain people? do you find it easier to be your "best self" when you're meeting people for the first time? well, practical solution: put yourself in situations where you're likely to meet new people and try out your best-self persona. the more you get to flex your social skills, the wider your circle of friends, and the better you'll like yourself. if you posted the same question as an adult, i'd give you the "change comes from within" spiel, but i KNOW that at 15, you define yourself by other peoples' reactions. it's OK to seek positive attention if you need a boost, but the goal is to eventually TAKE IT FOR GRANTED that other people like you. give yourself a chance this answer assumes that you're dealing with typical 15-year-old-girl angst issues. if you've got specific stuff/situations, ask, ok? hang in there!

That which is the 'real' self is that which distinguishes one's own sense of self from the self of others.
The easiest way of doing this is to make a list of favorite things. A measure of one's self esteem can be the degree and frequency to which one compromises what is on one's list in order to satisfy what is on another person's list. If you like the Beatles, but you rarely get the chance to play them because someone else is always playing their music instead (unless its at work, at which case certain other rules apply) AND you consider the Beatle's music very important to you, then your inability to demand a space for such can be an indication of low self-esteem.
We build and maintain self-esteem by surrounding ourselves with things (books, music, movies, colors, whatnot) that reinforce that which we identify with. When we constantly give up the things we identify with for others, we lose our sense of self, and consequently lose our self-esteem as well.

Authentic spontaneity usually means the self esteem is free and able to present itself.

Self esteem comes from accepting your REAL SELF. That is when you know you and you like you.
