I think with this condition, we often need for people to tell us what to do, what to say, and how to feel. That's why when we come up against something new or challenging it is always overwhelming and confusing, regardless of how normal this event or situation or choice is to other people.
It could be as simple as choosing how to spend your spare time, or what to wear, or your career path next, follow your passion - I don't know if I know how to feel passion for something and when I look at the things people say I have an interest in, I wonder if I'm truly interested in it. I also wonder if I'm just a warped mirror of other people's ideas and what they've told me to say and who to be and what choices.
Now that I've isolated myself from most people who've influenced me previously, I've begun to question why I speak a certain way or why I chose that path or idea and everything has begun to crumble because it all comes back to the fact that someone told me to do it, say it, be like this. I don't know who I am or what my personality is, or who I'm meant to be.
There are some things I like, but I don't know if I like them or if someone told me to like them and it's just stuck because I've done it my whole life.
How do I figure out who I am?
