Can you choose who you are?
Where I am now, I feel like I am just a regurgitation of my parents. Other than my music clothing and food choices, I think and act like them. I don't like it at all. Do I have a choice in this matter? Is my brain really wired like theirs permanently? Do I have to act like them or do I have an actual choice? Psychologically, can I be someone other than them? I feel like I don't even have my own personality. It's just a regurgitation of their personalities. (Which aren't the best, mind you) Not that I don't care about my parents, I just have no interest to be like them personality wise or the like. Basically, I want to know if I can make my own personality, character traits, etc,- or if I just have to learn to accept the way I act and think now.
I'm sorry if the question doesn't make much sense. Thank you for your patience and thank you for the help.

The answer ultimately is very confusing. Do you make your own decisions or is it predetermined based on your environment experience/genetic makeup. Just remember that you only control yourself and that is what makes you (and I) unique. Be whatever makes you happy and think about your feelings before others, follow what you think is right. We all have different morals and opinions.

You are unique, there is no one like you. YOU choose who you are! It's your choice no one else's!- juanita
