Teenagers "discovering themselves" at 13? I don't think so...every one has their own path and takes as long as needed there is no requirement age or expiration date also depends on each persons own unique experiences.

We never Truly fully "discover" ourselves we are a constant work in progress :0

Oh as for my Self discovery date its very very personal as most who have truly traveled the rough hard work road of self awareness feel.

BTW your "date" not sure what to make of it :0

Good luck keep searching for enlightenment and attaining your true will!

I'll give you a respectful answer, and I hope you'll give my answer enough consideration, deal? I know you're a sensible guy, and I know you can very much empathize with other people, and with how they feel. Have you stopped to think about what happened, that made this friend react so strongly? Have you considered that this friend might have been too much confused, disturbed and hurt? Can you understand the feelings? I know you can. Do you care about this friend? Why don't you try to have an open and honest conversation with this person, with calm? I'm sure you two would benefit from it, and feel better. Will you try? Good luck to you and your friend! I sincerely hope you two can find a way of understanding each other, and that all will be well! Edit: Frequently, to understand the questions here, we have to know the person who asked them, the other person(s) involved, and the situation. In this case, Fallen Angel and I know what we're talking about. The "guess what..." was NOT meant as an offense. It was more like a cry for help. "Help me to understand you, and what you just said to me, because I can't understand it, and what is going on. I'm confused, disturbed and very worried". The "suit yourself" came when this person didn't get an explanation, and was left wondering. And incredible hurt.

Eh, I'm far enough past it now I don't even remember.

Though was discussing with my mother the other day how when you get to around mid to late 20s and you look back and see how clueless you still were in the young twenties, back when you're convinced you knew what you were doing.

This coming up because my sister is soon hitting 25 and HOPEFULLY her ability to think ahead and whatnot will be better in the coming year or two since the brain supposedly finishes development around 25. I'm not sure a person can fully discover themselves until then. I wouldn't say I was completely the same person at 21 that I am at 30.

I don't know, really. I'm still working on me, I don't consider myself to be a completed work yet. So in that aspect, I'm still trying to "find" myself. I guess that's what happens when a person has a life full of turmoil like I have. In a way, I grew up without parents (dad was sick and dying, mom was focused on him, siblings were much older than me so were occupied with their own lives), so I didn't have the guidance that a lot of kids in my generation had. But I stopped rebelling around age 20/21, for the most part, and quit drinking almost entirely by the time I was 24, and I've allowed my anger to manifest in more healthy ways.

Looking back, I've been trying to "find" myself since I was about nine. I'll finish eventually. I think these things take time, especially when one continually faces setbacks like I have.

age 6

Wow I'd like to meet the person who isn't confuses about life anymore. We should never stop questioning things. Sorry for the sacrcasm

17-18 im 18 now but I think I still have about 2yrs left. Just making a lot of big decisions and life changing steps right now.

probably about 2 and a half years ago

yeah, it was not long ago, so i was 29

i cant say life doesnt confuse me anymore, knowing who i am, doesnt make life itself any less confusing , life will always be the same, it is what it is, but i knwo who I am now, or at least a large part of me, which has realy helped me settle into life

how about you?

I just discovered the Discovery Channel!

In a way I'm still doing it.

The discoveries are deeper and require more work now.

In fact that seems to be all life is about, so I'll probably be on this journey of self discovery until I die.
