Have you had a life changing event, and you feel you are not who or what you are supposed to be?

Asked by JLeslie (65446points) January 9th, 2011

It can be career, or identity, anything. Like you pictured yourself to be a wife and mother, and wound up single. Or, you planned on being a surgeon, and then an injury made it impossible. I know some people have life altering experiences, and later find themselves in a good place, and feel the life changing event was meant to be. But, others, never get to that place; their life is short of what they expected, instead of simply being different than they expected.

I feel like this in some ways. That I am not who I am supposed to be. I saw Mark Fuhrman on Oprah, and he said the same. That after the publicity of the OJ trial he had to change careers, and he does not feel fulfilled, and is not doing what he feels he was destined to do.
