I am what I think I am

When I was young, I couldn’t understand how these words go around as I became older and met many of my kins, friends, and people through social interaction. I gradually have a smaller circle, and the trust I have in all of the said demises slowly. Whom should I become? Where has the thought of the self gotten dissolved? Sometimes, the people I love dearly, care for, and trust slowly swap away to make me feel lonely again, just like a baby was born alone. Why does the self have the glitches in me? What should I do to get it away? It becomes hard to be with the person knowing it all. The strength that I have the self has no more. It’s hard to be someone I am not. What makes me indeed a person has gone, but to be who I am, I have to be. C. H. Cooley says, “I am not what I think I am. I am not what you think I am. I am what I think you think I am.”
