How do I know who I am?
Lately I’ve been thinking and…Mostly everyone knows my personality as Vincent, but everyone knows me as Brennen. It’s like I have two people inside me. Or it’s like a dark side of me and light side of me. I know it doesn’t really make much sense…Just that how do I know who I really am? Nobody likes Brennen and everyone accepts Vincent. Any thoughts or ideas on it? I’m lost with myself…

I’m being completely serious when I say that you might want to discuss this with your doctor.
Punch yourself in the dick whoever screams is you.
I’ve never meant Brennen. I’m sure I’d love him though, Vennie.
Also, ”little red! little red! wanna watch some porn with me?” Now who can I have an awesome inside joke like that with? Obviously Vennie and Brennen. If you’re worried though..go see a counselor okieday? :)
ducky <3’s vennie and brennen. :P
I’m confused. Are these both different facets of you? That makes sense. My work self is very different from my personal self. Bot they are both part of me.
Do you have your wallet with you? Check for any IDs.
It can be a deli ma for those who think deep, or those caught up in names. We are many in one. I am a mother, my name is Mom, I am a sister, a daughter, a friend, a girlfriend, My names are all that I am. My birth name is Chelle, my nic name Mickie, to some my name is Angel, to others Bitch, and the list goes on…...I am many to many. To me I am all of those names and then some. Brennen or Vennie, or “deep one”, you are all of these and many more. You can decide what name you want others to call you, but beware of those who won’t. Whatever they knew you as, is what they will call you. My nephew is Paul , middle name Michael, he is gay, now after 30 years, he wants to be called Michael….......Not…he’s Paul to me and always will be. Enjoy your names, both names are really nice. Nothin’ wrong with that!...Define your character, I think that’s what you’re really trying to do. Don’t put so much emphasis on multiple names. Or how about Vinney Brennen! Sounds good to me!.......Lots of luck on your journey!
seeing someone about it is a great answer if its too serious like you dont even realize who you are at times.. like the movie “Me, Myself and Irene” with Jim Carry. but if you know its just your personality types in different situations say if someone says something like ” I hate dogs, they will always turn on you” and Brennens response would be an argumentative one, where as Vinnies would be a more neutral or political one, i would think you would just have to learn each side and control them, use the right one in right situations.. not to let them control you but combine them to make a whole.
thats what i do, ive heard the phrase “be your self” well i am meny diverse types, sometimes im “gothic” sometimes im a “girly girl” sometimes im that “sweet down home girl” sometimes if you piss me off ill knock your fucking lights out with out warning” each of these have their own personality to go along with it that will last a few hours to a few days. so i learned over the years to know each side of me and use the rights ones at the right time. like if im at an interview and the person says something that would raise the fighter in me, thats not good, so when i feel that tension rise i stop myself and switch to one of the “good girl” sides of me.
Are you the boy who is 14? Give yourself another 30 years and you’ll begin to know the real you.
Who is Brennen if your last name is Lloyd?
we all have different sides, or “shadow”. I am known as wolfie, jan, planet…..
But I’m all the same person, just with a feisty streak.
It takes a lifetime to figure out what values you take on.
and nobody’s an angel. we are human.
sometimes a therapist can lead you to wisdom.
You’re a good kid.Deep, man…...
You are the way you are. Seriously,how could we know? We don’t exactly know about you and your personality.
I have a evil side and a good side.
I have several different names. Nick names.
But it all comes down to be me just ALL wrapped up in a neat little package.
They are both you at different times. There is no consistent you. Just what is now at this time and place …which will be different to now… and now… and now. Who will you be tomorrow? Will you be tomorrow? Exciting isn’t it.
Uh, well you know…I don’t know…it’s all good, though.
Look on your birth certificate.
watch this 3 part video when you get a chance..it’s about how we all project different versions of ourself to defferent people..and even to ourselves sometimes. not sure if it will tell you exactly who you think YOU are..but might help.

From “Jekyll,” a marvelous British TV drama series…
Jekyll: [After changing from Hyde “Just once, seriously – just bloody once, could you tell me where you parked?”
Hmmm. Well, you could set up a death match between the two of you.
You could get therapy and see if your multiple personalities could reunite.
You could voluntarily euthanize one of your personalities.
You could try dialectical behavioral therapy.
But really, what I think you should do is hold a battle of the bands: Vincent vs Brennen.
Similar situation here
I accepted the darker one as a manifestation of my Id. and my Id he remains while I, the “brighter” one, is in control.
Is not “dissociative” a life tool for some of us? It certainly is for me. Not something that needs cured but something I can’t function without doing.
@Vincent_Lloyd great question my friend…please forgive me for my previous answer! Just laughing at @ucme‘s answer. Just hit my “funny bone!”
My answer to your question would be, I like both (both, are who we are)! We all have another person inside of us. One good, one bad! Personally, like the “good guy side” of myself, but occasionally, that “bad guy side” sticks his ugly head up. The “bad side guy” of me needs the most attention. Everyday my “good side guy”, has to calm down my “bad guy side” and say things like, “don’t get mad that at person, they did not mean to hurt your feelings, they are having a bad day, cut them some slack!”
So, @Vincent_Lloyd your two guys are Vincent and Brennen, mine are “good side guy” and “bad side guy!” Never thought about giving them real names! There will always be a struggle inside me to overcome bad with good.
“don’t get mad that at person, loll…that make a lot of sense…excuse my poor proofreading…should be, “don’t get mad at that person, blah blah and b l a h!
