Hi everyone, this is my first post here and boy, I guess it's a big one. I'm just thinking back to this period between 2009-2012 where I had probably the peak years of my life. I think the reason I did so well in those years and felt so good, is because I maintained a consistent personality the entire time. Of course we all struggle with this, and I think it might kind of be the root of our problems. I knew who I was, and that alone was so reassuring, it was really all I needed. For a short time a few years ago it happened again, and I got really heavy into Asatru, which helped me a lot. Well, I'm not into anymore (of course) and I don't think I want to be, because I found the community after a while to be toxic and not good for my mental health, but the point still stands. I want - I need to develop and maintain my personality. I've basically accepted that I am a chameleon in a lot of ways, but a few things about me that remain consistent are:  


Metal music  
Cyberpunk  
Computers/IT  


Everything else, from the way I dress to the things I do and am interested in, seems to change with the wind, and I'm constantly bouncing around from thing to thing, never really knowing my place in the world. Has anybody here been successful with developing and keeping up a consistent personality? A consistent, I dunno, 'thing'? Subculture? Hobby? I'm sure that if I can do this, at least 80% of my problems will be gone. What do you all think?
