You.

A while ago, I read a book that I can't for the life of me remember the title or plot of; I just remember that it was contemporary. Anyway, in the book, the protagonist's art teacher made her class do this exercise where you get a partner and facing each other, one person keeps on asking, "Who are you?" while the other person keeps on giving a different answer each time their partner asks the question.

I thought that it was a pretty cool way to see how you think about yourself. I never tried doing the exercise with anyone, but after reading that passage, I tried it in my head, asking myself "Who are you?" and answering myself mentally, and I was surprised at the answers because I never consciously thought about myself like that before.

I don't remember what I answered, which is both a shame because I would have liked to see how my answers differ now, but I guess it's also a good thing since that means that my answers won't be biased  when I do it again.

Here is how I answered the question, "Who are you?":

Who are you?

If you couldn't tell, I don't have such high thoughts about myself, lol.

You should try it out yourself. Who are you?
