Someone very bright once said that you don't find yourself, you create yourself.
I like this. It suggests that you make yourself who you are, rather then looking for someone or something else to define you.
And by the way, this is an ONGOING process. You don't just 'find yourself' and stay that way the rest of your life. As you learn, grow, experience new things, your outlook on things will change too. So that the person that you decide to be today, might change next month or next year.
Your core values may stay the same- but you will always be redefining who you are. Think of it as a journey and not a destination.

Watch the movie "Fight Club."
Perhaps that will help.

what it means by finding yourself is to know who you really are,to know yourself very well,what your weaknesses are,what your strengthes are,what your hopes and dreams are,what your future plans are,and how to acheive them,what religion you beilive in,what you want to do with your life,who you are.....thats what it is to find yourself

In addition to what Michele said below, sometimes people call it soul-searching. You can watch the movie "Lost in Translation" for an idea.

Well it means knowing who you are and what you want. It means that you have thought long and hard about what kind of person you want to be, (example: kind, caring, loving, hard working, go-getter, risk taker, risk avoider, world traveler, ) and you won't let anyone change your mind. for example, lets say that you think that all humans deserve respect and should be treated that way, even the ones who don't respect themselves....and someone wants you to join in and make fun of a person who is mentally challenged, and you REFUSE. That means that you are a person of your convictions. No one can make you stray from your beleifs. You don't follow the crowd. You don't get caught up in fads and the "latest thing". You make goals and you work to achieve them. You know that things worth having are worth working for.
When a person is sure of who they are inside, and don't change their personalities to please their friends or their boyfriend, and even some times their parents. Then that person can say that they have found themsevles. Of course you can change your mind about how you feel about things, or your beliefs, but when you do it is because you studied the situation, or you have more information about something and you made a conscious decision to feel differently about something than you did before.
Most of all, you are good to yourself, you insist that other people treat you with respect and if they don't, you don't bother with those people, and you love yourself. I firmly believe that you cannot love anyone else, unless you love yourself. OF course you can be needy and think that you can't live without a person. And make a fool of yourself trying to make someone feel something that they do not. So a person who has found themselves, also knows that they cannot control other people, and they do not allow other people to control them.
I hope this helps
