Im not really happy with the way i currently live my life. I want to change and figure out who i really am but something holds me back. Im not sure why this seems so hard... I guess i just think that people view me in a certain way and i feel like i should continue being that person. How can you radically make change in your life ?

You have to be true to yourself.
The way to do it is to just do it.
It might help if you talk to these people first and warn them about the coming change or it might not. It might be better if you just start doing the new things you want to do and stop doing old stuff you are tired of and deal with any consequences later. Consequences, you should probably think about these. Like Davy Crockett used to say, "First, make sure you're right, then go ahead!"
Don't let what people think hold you back. Don't be slimy, you know, when people can't count on you to do what you say. Honor your commitments and obligations, do your duty, but beyond that do what makes you happy, be you, somebody's got to!

There are a lot of things you can do to radically change your life.You can move to a new city,change careers, start or end a relationship, lose weight,start practicing religion,etc. First you have to figure out what exactly is making you unhappy.You have to know what you want to change before you can change.You also need to consider why you feel a need to please other people. That in itself could be making you unhappy.You have to be happy with yourself and forget about pleasing other people. One of the most radical changes you can possibly make in your life is to stop being scared.

Take the time to think before you speak or act. Decide what you REALLY want to say or do. Then have the balls to follow through on that decision, no matter how the people around you will react.
There's a good chance you won't get as much negative feedback as you think. If you do get some, do you really think those are the kind of people you want in your life?

Imagine that you are the director of a movie and you can make the decision of how the movie goes. At the same time, you are part of the show, an actor with different roles to play.
Sometimes things may not always go smoothly as per plan, but at least you've tried....

People change for two reasons:
They are so uncomfortable that they have to...
They catch a vision for how life could be, so they have to...
So, has life gotten so bad and uncomfortable that you have to change? Doesn't sound like it.
How could life be under the best circumstances?
Is it compelling enough that you want to be there?

Pretty tough. If you're serious you should move to a different part of the country; new job, new friends.
Worked for me, although I frequently visit back home.

move, change all major aspects of your life, heck, get married, have kids, do some soul searching and find out who you want to be. maybe look into religion, anything is possible. and don't worry about what other people think. be who YOU want to be.

By not being different than what you are.
Most people act different than what they are; in that, they are not being different from most others, but by being yourself you will be different.
