Interesting philosophical question. Let's discuss! 😄
Our experiences are carving us like skilled artisans do. I recall some lines from Jorge Luis Borges telling that "I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women that I have loved; all the cities I have visited." I think and feel the same way. Without any of those, we are nothing but a massive pile of flesh.
So you're going with the "brain"-theory 😄 your thoughts and feelings 🙂
Sorryyy if that is not the correct answer. But i think from inner is more important than outer like ur looks. So that is why i choose mostly how u are from inner part like thougths and feelings and believes.
But i also like what @diogenes_cask wrote above except the massive pile of flesh!!! 😬😬🙄 That makes me feel like an elephant!!! 😵💫😵💫

Interesting take as well! Are you still "you" once you get alzheimer's disease and start losing your memories? At what point aren't you "you" anymore?
And @Yue_ there's no right or wrong 🙂

Thank u very much!! And im not sure about the answer for the last question. But for example my grandmom has dementia and it is getting more and more and the last time we saw her she was super anxious and confused all the time and before dementia she NEVER had that at all and she was more like super zen. And when u talk to her then she has often not an idea what u mean even if she can hear u or that she forgets even who u are or where she is even if she has been there a LONGG time.
So i think she is still her of course but a LOTT of her is not there anymore. Bc who she was also was a LOTTT of course about how she is from inner things and a lot of that is damaged now or she doesnt know anymore. I wrote more about it in this forum if maybe u like to read it.

Memory... is the diary that we all carry about with us and when we have some pages missed, that's no more a whole, and the same story. That's my point of view, somehow.
what makes me me hehe thought about that for a moment, cheerful, too honest, too empathetic, senses people's energy (even the bad stuff) nature lover, moon, sun, clouds, thunderstorms I love those, long conversations, pure nature, my 3 kids, other cultures,like cleanliness

I think the way you go through life. Pretty much everythingggggg about you makes you youuu. But some people leave a different sorta mark behind with how they went through their livesss. The way you think, the way you love, you naturee. Everythinggggg. 🐣✨
