How does one find themselves and what does it mean?

[Pinkbutton85]

Just that really. I hear of people 'finding themselves' or 'discovering who they are'. What does that even mean?

I feel so lost at the moment. Is this what I need to do?!

Anyone found themselves?

I think it’s about dealing with those feelings of being ‘lost’
What do you feel life is like at the moment and how would you like it to be?

You could also book a trip and traipse around a distant town or country on your own, doing whatever job comes your way, spending plenty of time by yourself and evaluating what you actually want from life to make yourself happy, as per fiction.

I think it's working out what you want from life and being comfortable with yourself.
Some people go traveling to just get away and spend time away from familiar but that doesn't have to happen.
If your unhappy at the moment then planning what you'd like to do and planning how you could reach that goal is a way of doing it.
I don't know if you ever have a moment that you say there I am but over time you'll realise your more comfortable in your own skin.
