A man’s personality is being formed it is being shaped by the noise of its surrounding he does not see himself throughout his own eyes anymore and as one can assume he cannot decide what is of his best interest. This symptom of lack of self love and confidence seems endlessly however he is watching TV.
He cannot see nor decide but he can watch TV, he must go to school where the new shoes represents students’ new value, he has no shoes because these shoes are expensive, he is then for the first time labeled as not enough and he is naturally ignored by these people who loves to watch TV.
He is not himself anymore he is walking and dressing like them his essence is fading fast and as he runs away from himself he becomes just a follower and he is watching TV.
Years later and the man is sick his mind is lost and he wants a change, he then reads and writes and reads and writes over and over. On these years the TV is not there as strong as instagram and facebook but he is reading books about economics and physiology and he loves software engineering books as well.
At a given moment he has to decide among buying an Iphone 6 and Iphone 6, then he stops and maybe after many years of blindness he is about to make a decision on his own. The man can see now, he now think slow, it has been four years now without TV, he is thinking on his own the man is free.

It's a nice blog with deep thoughts . However , I think u have wrote ur title wrong it should be " who are u " . I do agree with ur notion that outside factors shape our identities , a thing that most of us cannot escape
I would say it is about being a victim of the society we are living in. We have to compete to get respect. Isn't it sad that these kids at school who have more expensive clothes, phones etc. get this silly respect instead of those who know something, who are smart or have some cool hobbies??!! This comparing makes me feel sick!!!
The whole life we have to fight but we shouldn't live locked in the world of social media and should face reality because being disconected from it might really lead to what you mentioned in your blog..
I hope the man doesn't think slowly now. :)
Is this blog about yourself? Well, somehow this blog reminds me the movie "Fight Club". You are right about losing our personalities, but what is the solution of this problem?:)
I understand what do you want to say. We are influenced by TV and Social Media, used to all this stuff.
We do not want to appear "unpleasant" in the perception of others. We are adapted and uniformed.
We try not to leave the well-trodden path because we don't see any reasons why we should do that. It's like as if we are wearing a uniform until we have to make a decision.
Is it so convenient?
Then, one day, we don't feel comfortable with our life.
We ask if we are just the copy of someone.
Are we just a "someone" without own personality?
We have to find an own way for a self-determined life, and it's a very exciting and the most important challenge for our living.
