Authenticity of oneself is a concept desire by all but known to few. To become ones “true self’ takes serious selfishness and discipline to achieve. It is a life long journey that begins around eighteen to twenty-five months.
The older you get the stronger you desire to discover your true self. Testing yourself ad exploring different things like relationships, friendships, and even religion up until you find your perfect fit.
Do you think it's possible to find your authentic (your true self) or is it an impossible goal?

i think that it is an impossible goal to find your true self. in the society that we live in, we are told that being your self is a good thing, as long as being your self falls within there opinion of normal. Even those who go against this idea still fall into a group and start to mimic there ideas and identity. In that way i don't believe that you can find your true self in the world.
I think it is impossible to find your true self. In this world we are easily influenced by the characteristics of others and we train ourselves to be like that. We try to mimic the characteristics of others so that we can fit into groups and make friends. In these kinds of situations we often do not be our true self. I think it is impossible to be your true self.

I think it is impossible to find your true self beacue you are always under the influces of the socity you live in. Its life. People change to fit in even if they do not realize they are doing so. This why i think it is impossible to be your true self.

I also think that it is impossible to find your true self in society. With different groups of people we act differently no matter how comfortable we are with ourselves or them. For this reason I think its difficult to pinpoint where exactly our truest self lies and with that we wouldn't be able to find it and be our truest self. There is far too much influence in society with peers and media and culture to possibly allow us to be our truest savage self.
i think in my opinion that finding one's self is a goal that each human being must have because then we can understand our lives and what they mean to us. i think that finding one's true self if a fulfilling goal because in my opinion it brings peace to our minds and we know what is the main tings in life. but i do believe its very possible to finds one true self. for an example a person that plays in the NFL, Ricky Williams gave up his life to find himself, he left everything behind including his family and once he found himself he was able to go back into the NFL and his family to once again live his life as a true and peaceful human being.

I think looking for one's true self is an impossible and foolish goal to strive for. Situations or past experiences will help shape someone's ideas or even their feelings on certain subjects. Your personality can change, therefore you can never find your REAL self. You never stop learning and therefore you can never stop changing. Striving for the unreachable is simply a thing with humans we dont quite understand.
I agree with Margot. It is almost impossible to be your true self with society's influence hanging overhead. Sometimes you don't realise you are conforming to society but you are. For example, the way people dress. Maybe you have a certain style of clothes you like but you buy different ones to fit in with society.
