Can you lose your personality?


Recommended Posts

I am 19 and I broke up with my girlfriend of 3 years 4 days ago. Past year and a half my personality has changed and I am now more unhappy than ever.

 

I was looking back on my Bebo comments today going through months of comments, I noticed I was fun, funny, flirty, cool, sociable, confident and people made an effort to talk to me and wanted to hang around with me, everyone loved my company.

 

Currently I am none of the above. I want that person back but where do I begin?

 

This change in personality has cost me my friends, girlfriend and I feel I have lost my direction. My confidence is low and my self esteem is zero. I put myself down all the time and I always self defeat.

 

Since our brake up I am finding that I have been able to get motivation past few days and have applied for a new job at a Tv centre. I hate my current job which I have been in for a year and a half, I think this has contributed to making me unhappy. I have forced myself to go out even though it's with some people I would rather not it's a means to get out of the house, most of my friends went to University, I didn't go as I wasn't sure of which career I would enjoy and if I would be bothered to do all those essay's.

 

I want to be a successful happy guy but when your faced with so many issue's you doubt yourself.

 

Where do I begin to recover my old personality or will I never get it back?

 

Thank you for reading.

Seems to me you just mislaid it for a while....

 

As for getting it back - have you not now begun that process....?

I think this would be a fake it till you make it kinda thing. I have gone through many times in my life where I lost my outgoing character traits and felt very self conscious. The only luck I had in bringing it back was when I tried to pretend it never left. Always felt weird at first, but since it is a part of my personality, I eventually became myself again. Don't search, just act like it's there and it will be :)

 

Hope that's of some help. Only thing that worked for me. Good luck!
