This is how it goes when you complain about any of the following: appearances, family, origins.
Don't let it get to you!
You shouldn't let your appearance define who you are.
You shouldn't let who your family define who you are.
You shouldn't allow where you come from define who you are.
These are things sort of considered "out of your hand". You're born with these facts about yourself, you don't get to change them, they never change.
Then there are the things you choose -or you don't- like your studies, your career, what you do for a living. But again, they tell you when you complain about them that you shouldn't let them define who you are either.
What defines who I am?
I'd have thought that what I choose is what defines me. But what if you don't choose the right things that are supposed to define you? What if you don't choose right? Then the things you choose won't define you in this case. May be in this case your definition would be: " A person who doesn't choose right."
I don't really know what defines me.
Is it my thoughts? My beliefs? My opinions? What's their worth if there is nothing that I can do that would fully express them? What's their worth if they only stay in my head or stay on a piece of paper? They're supposed to show in your actions somehow. But in what direction exactly? If it is not in your work, then where?
Is it the people you choose to be with?
Is it what the majority of people agree that you are?
Is it all of these things when put together?
What defines me?
Who am I?

well , i have to admit i got confused when i read this but the answer as u said a cocktail of these stuff :family factor which affect personlity of human being postively like Farooq Elbaz , Taha Hussein , Albert Einstein..etc or negatively such as Ed Gein the famous thug that terrifies all US and his mother plays a role in making that killer! Another factor u forgot to mention is friends : we fe hath fema m3nha ''tell me who is ur friend and ill tell u who u r'' ..so simply i can see ur friend and i can define who u really r ..and finally ur future life partner-assumly of they r chooses by u- plus minor factors:ur concepts in life , ur thoughts , ur beliefs , ur opionions even if u cant establish them cuz when u get the power ull do it , but what can u do with bare hands ?!!! altough ur books , the bang of music u like , ur movies , the way u deal with ppl , the way u express ur anger , ur life style , ur clothes style ..etc every single detail of these express u and if u add them all the result is the definition of urself as u said at the end of the blog..
