what kind of person am I?
so I am so confused, I have no idea what you would call me. I am very intelligent and I soak up information like a sponge, I hate my generation, kids nowadays are just horrible. I like old tv and music from the 20's-60's. however, I love todays technology, I love video games, and long for past and future to come together.
im a hopeless romantic yet I long for loneliness. I cant put one perspective on something, I have to look at everything from every point of view though I don't like it most of the time. I am so very depressed, yet so very at peace with myself and the world.
I have an untampered bible from the 1500's and know it front to back. I believe in a god, but knowing history believe that god may be not one but many, or possibly an idea or object more than a person, or mystical/spiritual being.
my interests are not exactly my own. though I think for myself, I take others ideals and viewpoints and add them to my own.
i am so confused anymore as to whether or not im my own person or just a living collection of others. i mean of course i am my own person, but my mind adapted to a lot of different people and types of people. but i cant think straight, not like i have bad decision making or inability to answer a question. i just have major problems with life.
i don't know what i want because its like different parts of me wants different things. i own 1000's of video games, ecords, know 1000's of lyrics, and 1000's of controls... i know 3 languages and 8 instruments... I can remember almost any information presented to me upon interest of the subject.
but i feel like i am a renaissance man
i don't know how to feel about everything presented to me. for i retain so much information, it gets jumbled up, yet i want to learn more.
i guess in a sense i feel like a quote from Edgar Allen Poe "I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity"
if anyone can help me better understand me haha i would like to know
PS I tried to make it short, but I ended up having to add the rest in updates to the question also thanks for reading

How old even are you? Lets hope we're not in the same generation. I'm sure you're a great person but you're not doing yourself any favours in this question, you sound like you think that you are above everyone just because you happen to be smart and like certain things. Personally I think you should stop worrying about what kind of a person you are and just focus on what you are doing in your life. Also I doubt a load of strangers can really judge your personality fairly just by what you told us.

First, your question is nonsensical. What sort of answer could you be looking for? One word to sum up all that stuff and everything else about yourself?
You're not nearly as intelligent as you think you are, since you hate every member of your own generation for NO real reason, except to be able to think of yourself as better than all of them. If you WERE intelligent, and you weren't inhumanly arrogant, you'd realize that all members of your generation aren't identical to each other.
You're gullible. You think supernatural, imaginary beings are real. AND you take ideas from everyone else, without EVALUATING them, in the light of reason or evidence.
Soaking up information is worthless, unless you're able to think intelligently about it. It sounds as though you've never developed your reasoning abilities -- evaluating, applying, integrating and synthesizing facts and ideas.
Randomly taking other people's ideas in a hodge-podge isn't thinking. Some ideas are more sound than others.
Anyway, it's completely unclear what you're asking for here. What kinds of people do you think there are?
And, of course, what you've mentioned doesn't in any way address anything of the most important things, like whether you give a cr@p about anyone, how you treat people, and so on.

A bible from the 1500s? BS. Then it would be in Middle English, and I doubt you can understand that.
Whan that April with its shores sote
The droute of Mars in ev'ry hath and holte,
And bathed ev'ry vine in switch licour
Of which vertu engendred is the flour,
And smalle foules maken melody,
So pricketh them nature in hir courages,
Than longen folk to goon on pilgrimages.
And Palmers, for to seke strange stronds,
Inspired hath, and koothe in sundry londes...
That Middle English would still have some Olde English in it:
Caedmon's Hymn:
Nu schulon haregayan,
Heavenriches ward.
Maytoadas machtah,
And His modgyuthunk.
Hey aerest shope,
Eeldah barnum,
Heaven to hroftah,
Haileigh Schippend.
Tha middenyarde
Monkines warde,
Eche drichten
After teode,
Firum folden.
Freah, almightig.
That was common, everyday English back then, since prayers were written for the common man to learn, understand, and recite. If it was REALLY from the 1500s, EVERY upper museum would demand it.

I totally feel you. I've been in that same place- who am I, and what is my purpose?
Depending on your age, I would suggest to go and find some satisfaction in life by volunteering! Surprisingly, it's a great way to find more about yourself. Also, go to 16personalities.com if you want to check out your personality, I am a mix of many, so I get where you're coming from.
You said you speak 3 languages- go out and use them! Talk to people and learn about their lives, give some of your knowledge to others. Also, if you really want to find out your purpose, and gain everlasting peace, go check out the Bible. It's a great guide for life, and, you never know what may happen...

You're a big head guy, big ego, but you know how to be humble. If you want a survival technique, try one other thing. You do a lot of complaining about the way the world is and that is a negative tack you have to let go.

Stop brooding about your personality, dear. If you want to find yourself, try so by offering help to others. Go out to the hood, help the old lady from next door carry groceries. Help the Mexican kid do its homework. Buy the homeless man under the bridge a burger once in a while. Talk to him, not in a conceited, schoolmaster sort of way, but by simply listening to him. Report to the local breadline to help ladle out soup to the needy. Do also help your folks at home whenever they need it. In doing so, I promise you that you will find yourself and sort the many things you have learnt and read into the right pigeon holes in your brain. But by all means: quit riding yourself with thoughts about who you are. It will all fall into place, my love, if you go out and help and love.

This is so good I can almost smell the monster energy drink on your breath... taste the doritos dust in your unkempt beard... feel sweat trickle down greasy unwashed hair under your signature fedora...
