SELF AND IDENTITY

When do you most feel like your real self? Post your comment here.

I always feel like my real self. I guess I’m lucky because I 1 have a strong sense of selfC1. Pietro

I only feel like my real self at home. When I travel, I often 2 feel a loss of identityB2. It’s my home and familiar surroundings that 3 give me a strong sense of identityB2. Clara

I know what Clara means. I feel kind of awkward when I’m abroad but as soon as I get home I 4 feel like my normal selfC1 again. Will

Travelling’s difficult if you find it hard to 5 identify withB2 people of other countries and cultures. I’ve never found this a problem myself. Susana

I think 6 having a sense of belongingC2 is crucial to your identity. If you belong to a group – family, friends, whatever – people recognise you, they reflect you, so you know who you are and where you fit. Chung

I 7 am my true selfC1 when I’m with my friends. I feel completely comfortable with them. Christa

I believe that if you 8 are true to yourselfC2 and don’t try to act like someone else or be phoney, you won’t have identity problems. Ahmet
