Riddle #4

Solve the following riddle:

                                                         ANSWER 

This riddle leaves most solvers without a clue as to how to solve the question.  Similar to riddle #3, this riddle can only be solved by a trial and error basis, but the only difference is that after every wrong quess, you are back at square one.  You can't really learn from your mistakes because you don't know if you were headed in the right direction or not.  There are a thousands of possiblilities to contemplate over.  The question appears to be so simple yet l it seems as though there is no real answer until it is actually revealed.

I could have sat for hours attempting to find the solution for this riddle and I probably still wouldn't have thought of the correct answer.  It is especially difficult for me to admitt that now, knowing how simple the solution really is.  We spend our lives contemplating over our own issues.  Throughout high school we struggle to figure out who we truly are by joining cliques (see my Community Discourse).  It seems like a simple task to find a group of people to hang out with and become close friends with.  For me though, this seemed like the ultimate task.  It wasn't just about who I liked the best or who I related with the most.  Instead, I questioned whether hanging out with a certain group would make me unpopular, or if talking to one clique would turn me into a bad person, or if my parents would approve of my friends if I joined this other group. I was so concerned with what I should do, rather than what I really wanted to do.

The stupid thing was instead of worrying about who I was or was becoming, I focused on who I was surrounding myself with.  You have to solve one thing at a time  in order to figure out a riddle such as this one.  You must first understand what could have caused there to be a puddle of water undernearth a man who had just hung himself, before you can figure out how he killed himself.  If I had just figured out the first problem (Who am I?), the second one (Who should I hang out with?) wouldn't have been a problem at all. 

I honestly still am not sure that I have indeed solved the riddle of "Who am I?"  Which may be why I still can't decide which community I belong to.
