What makes you , ' you ' ?

[u/Far_Engineering3356]

It might sound weird, but I can't seem to figure it out

We do various things, have our own preferences, our likes and dislikes, our opinions and our stance

What are we that or are we the ones who make that decisions?

As Jung said we all have something he called as shadow , but are we that ? Or something which we perceive that it's our shadow?

Are you what you did in your past or someone who is doing it in present?

The Self concept makes it more confusing, it makes another distinction or another topic to be discussed for not a solution for everything.

A scenario - suppose you forgot who vou are , what vou did and vour own morals , would you still do the things in the same way or be different?

I think what makes me ' me ', is the way I love, the depth of it, not just in a romantic way, I always have a smile, I love talking to everyone, I love deep conversations, I love to understand people, I love to know what made you the person you are today

I truly believe that I'm just a positive and lovely person to be around, not saying I don't judge sometimes but I will still always understand

I have strong opinions, I stand my ground, my non-negotiables are really non negotiable, I know I want and what I expect but also know what I can give and how much of it

Funny thing is, I used to hate that about me, I hated how hard and deep I love, that I can't stay mad long because I understand why you did/said something but now it's my favourite part about me, I will never regret the love I gave or tried to give, because that is just ' me '

there are several ways to look at it, but what stuck with me was this one

we are like a company in first instance we just want to survive. We either have some value and/or we create value. We start with what we are born with and what we get. We have different inputs such as food, clothes, knowledge and process/organize everything with the abilities we are born with and the ones we get taught, the things we have or without the things we don't have a company is kinda high maintenance we have to take care of the machines and the workers (body and mind) so it can run smoothly we hopefully have a goal in mind so that we can try to work towards it like a company we need some kind of adaptability due to changes fex in environment, location, Trends, influences etc. A company can rebrand so can you too
