My identity!

I’m indeed in search of my identity! As a student; I was confused with what to do with life, how to identify myself, a champion or a ragtag! Ragtag was not my cup of tea 🍵 I lived by the axiom; be the first in every game that you play or never play! I lived by that indeed and live still! You might say; I’m boasting, but that’s the reality( not boasting)! People who actually know me know it and this is virtual world, here lies spread faster than truth and we are hardly physically known to each other! How much I would explain; people will take it with a pinch of salt!

I live by my set of rules, you can call me an outlier, arrogant! I hate living life the way others want it to be! That's not life, that's complete surrender and I do not like surrendering! Still I talk to achieve a common ground 😌 and my other side is; I'm an introvert!

Yes 😂 I'm an introvert, talk to a lesser number of people! I hate crowd, hardly attend parties, hardly socialize, have very few friends! Not exactly a loner! Emotional! I believe in prevention is better than cure! I avoid relationships! I cannot bear with someone 😃 hurting me emotionally! I'm searching my identity still! 🙂

Loved machines a lot! When formal training( engineering degree) did not work out, I self trained myself; I won't say, where I'm now! That would be premature! I'm searching for my identity ☺️ Identity of a normal human, who does not like relationships! Everything formal with colleagues, vertically and horizontally! So that the day I quit, there'd be no regret, I'm missing someone!

Too much ‘I’s; this is about my identity and hence, no offence friends!

My identity is who I am, the way I think about myself, the way I'm viewed by the world and the characteristics that define me! Is my identity my name; name is to identify me, this is not my identity per se! Is my identity determined by the characteristics determining who I'm; my race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, physical attributes, personality, political affiliations, religious beliefs, professional! Is that identity! I'm confused!

Searching for my identity 😁 Is my success or failure my identity 😉 I don’t measure it that way ☺️ I’m different everyday! That’s my identity! My contribution to the world for its betterment is my identity! Living for self is simply life, living for others is more than that and that’s my identity!
