Your life is like being an amusement park ride, only in addition, YOU ARE the ride! Personal ideas develop from genetics meeting environmental influences, expressed via complexity and chaos as complex as how weather and climate shape up, through millions of little data inputs!.
One's own "personal idea" of who one is is 99!.99% illusion , social indoctrination, and wishful thinking!. Guaranteed!. No one but one in a million is really "real"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am shaped by both!. of course, I have an idea of who I am, and idea which, regardless how subjective and biased that is, helps me define myself as!.!.!. different from everyone else!. but that idea is not an immutable one, it changes according to the circumstances of my life, to my successes and my failures, and to the people I allow around me!.
I will only be able to say for sure who I really am at the end of things!. Or not even then!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, you are shaped by your personal idea of who you are!. It aids you in finding out who you really are, and how you can become the person you're meant to be!. If you don't have a concept of who you are right now, how do you proceed from that point toward the destination you seek!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

What is real!?
The "I" is a psychological construct!.
Reality is an existential nightmare!.
Denial is the only thing that allows folks to get out of bed in the morning!.

Is any of that a "personal idea of the person one is!?" I don't even know if that means anything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The latter part of your question should be first!. Finding your real self, starts with a dissatisfaction of some facet of one's personality!. Therefore, one could say, the first part of the question will be answered in the positive!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Finding the real me and becoming the real authentic me!.

Although the real me changes because time and circumstances changes as well!.

The person I am right now is not going to be the same person in 10 years!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The second one sounds a lot more freeing!. I find out more about the real me and things get easier because God helps me and I enjoy life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I shape my life to a certain degree,but i also search for the real truth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, by your ideals and the resolve to be the best you can be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

None of the above!. I am what I am, and its not something that I put any thought into!. There are much more important things for me to be thinking about!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The opinions we hold shape our environment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wait a minute! You changed your avatar!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
