"How do you know if you're who you're supposed to be?"

I can completely 100 percent understand what you're asking. As a matter of fact yes, I did recently come to a point in my life where I wasn't happy with who I was, and I was starting to question the things I was doing, or who I even was anymore.
I'm not sure because I only know from experience but I think that most everyone goes through this every once in a while, usually after you've experienced a lot of change in your life, or when something goes wrong, or you're just having an off month or even year.
You will find yourself, and it may take just sitting back and waiting to see what you're supposed to be, or maybe even to realize you're supposed to be who you are right now.
What I realized was that I wasn't happy with who I was and the main reason behind it was because of who I was surrounding myself with. I found myself forming into other people, and being too dependent on my "friends". I wouldn't make decisions for myself and I pretty much felt lost if that makes any sense.
I ignored the feeling for a while but then it only got worse, and I was becoming really unhappy with everything. I knew I needed change so I stopped hanging out with the people who were causing me to be unhappy, and in that case for me, it was because they were very dramatic and always had some sort of negative comment to say about everything and everyone.
Anyways, long story short, I found some friends who were a lot more confident with themselves and didn't need to bring other people down to make themselves feel better.
So my advice to you, is to take some time to yourself, and think about your life and everything that has been going on. Think about when things started to change, or if they did at all, and think about what you'd like to be different. You might surprise yourself.
It's never too late to change your life, especially now being so young and having so many opportunities.
Goood luck and sorry for the crazy long post haha.
