Does this define me?
Hello,
Does the person I am now or the person I use to be define me?
What about the person I want to be?
Does how others view me have any effect in who I am as a person?
Can I be the person I want to be?
Am I bounded by my limitations?
Can I only grow so much?
Does my family define me?
Does my friends define me?
Everybody has their own perception, should I cut those out of my life that have a view of me that I find repulsive - I don't particularly like those people even though few are family.
Sometimes I feel that I wouldn't like a person if they liked me - at least whoever I was at that time. I end up despising those people.
Is it worth putting my life on hold until I come to be the person I want to be?

Hey =).
Ultimately, the only thing that defines you is yourself. Sounds a bit cliché I know, but you are who you are and nobody and nothing can change that without your own consent. Yes your family made you into who you are today, as well as all your past experiences etc. But you can't go back in time, and you can't change those things. So it's up to you to decide how you handle what has happened, and approach what is still going to happen in your life. As for other people's views, friends etc. you need to handle each case independently. At the end of the day, you should surround yourself with people who you are comfortable to be around. That's a lot easier said than done I know. But just remember as well, in a world with nearly 7 billion people, there are always new people to meet and replace those people who are insignificant in your life. And as for your last question, no. You should never put your life on hold. You will never get back that time lost. Life is about living, loving, growing, getting hurt, and getting over it. This cycle is permanent. So live your life and grow and adjust as you go through it all.
Enjoy =)

I think you, like everybody else in the world, are a work in progress.
We often strive to be the person we'd like to be but sometimes stumble and fall by the wayside. We just have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and start all over again in the words of a song.
Those people you feel see you in a particular way that you don't like, although family, are not your best friends. Fine. Be polite and tolerate them. You may need them one day.
You don't say your age but I'd guess that you're a teenager as such feelings and thoughts are often part of growing up. This kind of confusion shouldn't last too long. You'll learn to trust your own judgement and that of other people you like and trust.
I hope this helps a bit, let me know if you think I can help further?
Best wishes XX.
