Constant change of plans can show I’m unsure of who I am because it would show a lack of real goals and purpose. When asked if I changed my mind about things/ideas a lot, she said, “You didn’t really change it a lot. It was average”. This shows that I knew who I was but was also open minded. Another example of me having a sense of my sense of self…
