How to find your true self......?

Don't expect to find your true self after someone tells you so.

Your true self has always been with you. It's just that it is hidden from you. Basically you're ignorant and asleep. Until you are awake it will delude you.

Instead of trying to find your self, let your true self find you instead.

Experience.
Don't do it on purpose, but often getting into fights with people can really bring everything about you out of its shell. Sad times can too. Such as deaths, accidents, ect. It can make you realize why you're even alive.

Music
Are you one of those mindless lemmings just following crazes one after another? Explore through all different types of music. Pop, rock, metal, screamo, electronic, country, ect. Find one that you can easily listen to when you're happy, sad, angry, ect. I remember I used to just listen to anything that was popular on the radio. But, ever since I started listening to classic rock, I realized there's so much more to life than just trying to be the first one to hear something that's gonna be famous.

Good friends
This one may take time. Just go around every person in your life. Find one that you can relate to, confess to, and ever get bored with. After you get comfortable with them, you let loose and you can act however you want with them. That may be your true self.

Religion/spirituality
Depends on which religion you are, but if you are religious, dig into that religion. Find out why you're even on this earth. What is your purpose. What you could do to make yourself proud of your life. Don't know if this will help with EVERYBODY but hey, it's worth a chance.

Self knowledge can be gain only by meditation. Most don't know what meditation really is, thats why they don't use it, well i will tell one thing about meditation is : it is vital !!! you will gain clarity, peace and most importantly self knowledge and more, thats why most say theres no way, or its really hard, because they don't know about meditation. If you want to learn how to meditate seek guidance. Good luck.

All things take time.
Trust me, I used to worry and stress over these things all night long. But I realized that isn't helping, there's nothing you can do but let time show you.

By accepting the truth and the fact, who you really are. strengthen the strengths and accept the weaknesses, don't blame others for it, deep inside, you'll find the "real" you. good luck finding the "real" you :)

The true yourself, you can not find it when the time you want, YOU only can find you unexpectedly.
When I have my dreams, I feel the real me. When I alone, no friend with me, I can find myself. On;y 2 ways to find, One: when u are happy, Two: when you are sad..

Let go of the false self with all the masques, pretentions etc. Then the true self has space to be there. It is already there, just it needs space.

Live each day to the full, when you feel comfortable within yourself even in adversity that is your true self. It takes a life time for we ever change as life goes on. Just enjoy do what feels comfortable for you.

no way.....there is no way to the self
when there is nothing ...you find it
by answering .... i am destroying it....silence is the way

you can try several things ...at the end you will know that you were a fool trying to find it...because you yourself(ego) was in its way....it was always knocking at your door

Become at one with your own soul particle or fragment.
Also become at one with God and Christ.
Christ is on earth to now show us all the path of self realisation.
These are part and parcel of meditation and subsequent initiations.
Amen.
