Is it only when you lose yourself in somebody else?

Question

That you find yourself?

Answer 1

sounds like love. i guess im not really good at giving advice in that department. i suck at love

Answer 2

What you may find is a mirror in which you may see parts of yourself, and it is only just that -- a partial reflection.

We can't lose ourselves; however, we can give the power to validate ourselves away by looking for it in another.

Eventually this will lead to a dependency on the other, and since they are human (which means they will make mistakes), they will let us down, whether by accident or intentionally.

Romance is wonderful. It is the icing on the cake. It, by itself, is not love, nor is it consistent or dependable over the long haul.

What may feel like losing yourself is more a sense of validation in finding and connecting with another that is similar and attractive at:

1st an intellectual level, which leads to,

2nd a form of spiritual level, and

3rd a physical level.

The only problem can be that when the other differs from us, we may ignore or explain the difference away. Differences don't have to be relationship stoppers. Some can make life with the other interesting. However, some can be "unsafe", and are NOT in our best interest to be removed from consideration.

In the end, to find yourself, one must look within. Owning yourself is where the truth lies and real self validation can happen.

Hope things go well

Answer 3

Absolutely not. Unless you make a horrendous mistake of course. Then you find out really fast just who you are NOT.

When you can love yourself and be comfortable in your own skin and make decisions that you feel good about is when you find yourself. It doesn't happen overnight either. You are constantly changing and morphing to the world around you. But you are like a house, and you have to know where your foundation lies.

When you lose yourself in someone else that is exactly what you do...LOSE YOURSELF.

The very words imply that you become something you are not and often that is what most people do is change to become what they think their partner wants them to be...but that cross becomes very hard to bear.

Answer 4

No, you've got it wrong. It is only after you lose the "somebody else" that you find yourself. You can never know who you are, unless you do that on your own.

Answer 5

No, one may think that, but you have to find yourself within yourself before you can see yourself in anybody else. What the hell did I just say?!?

Answer 6

I think what you are saying is that you are not comfortable with yourself as a person ( and perhaps a tad depressed about it ) but you light up with another ( particular ) person and feel good all round! You're in love my friend ... enjoy!

Answer 7

noway! establish yourself and who you are, as best as possible, before you find someone. Make sure they know themselves as well and then lose yourself in them! You both will have something to offer eachother!

Answer 8

Never, ever lose yourself under any circumstances. Forget the romantic nonsense.

Answer 9

you cant find yourself in somebody else literally because you would have to break out of their body to get out of them which would result in alot of blood lost for them.

Answer 10

Yep, it can be true!

You sometimes never appreciate who and what you are until you see yourself in someone else that you feel deeply for and trust because they love and trust you! It gives credence to what you need to know about your ability to love, trust....

Hope this makes sense?!?

Answer 11

No, no it isn't. When you lose yourself in someone else, it's time they went on a diet.
