Am I right to take it that you see yourself more like an onion than an apple (i.e. layers without a core)?

Think that's a fair way of describing how I take myself, yes.

It is a question I struggle with - How did you come to your conclusion? Have you always felt that way?

 

[Quirkybird]

I am me.

"Who are you?"

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us -don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

'fraid I do. It is strangely liberating in a way.

 

[Contemplative Cat]

I'm energy. I'm pure me.
As individuals, energy forms intellects to percieve and interpret the rest of energy.

If you could legitimately call me a person, it would be only for a moment in time, soon ill be meat, then dirt, then daisies when they pop up.

Interesting, so who are you?

Interesting, so who are you?

A true orphan with little to lose and a streak of brutal, often unbearable honesty.

Do you know?

I am Brahman, the only consciousness and reality, but temporarily in an illusory state of identification with a particular form.

 

[Revoltingest]

I am a lowly beast who is fortunate to be able to contemplate my place in the universe.
I'm a groundskeeper too!

 

[Willamena]

What does 'me' describe?

'Me' is the objective case of illusive agency. 'I' is the subjective case.

I am a Ship of Theseus, only labelled "me" because of social convention derived from a degree of physical continuity along a chain of different "mes".

 

[methylatedghosts]

I'm pretty sure I know who I am. Problem is, I keep changing, so it's hard to keep track all the time

Every day I keep learning new things about myself, new interests I didn't know lurking inside of me, and just how far I'm willing to pursuit passion. As of late I'm also quite surprised by the amount of ambition that is stored in me.
I consider myself to be my own best partner to share in an adventure. That is until a vagabond wizard or a ranger from the north might enter my life.
