How do I cope with the fact that the entirety of me i.e. "myself" is just an amalgamation of everything I am influenced by and not unique or new at all?

I literally cannot be myself because there is no way to know who myself really is.

Start things and try to finish them.

The problem of authentically "being oneself" disappears when you actually set out to "do" anything; your success or failure will constitute whatever you were as you continue to "become" whatever it is you are.
Why do you feel the need to be unique and new?
All people know are things others remembered and shared with them; basically all of those things are/were derivative of something else.

That's just the way it is.

You are by the necessity of determinism unique. In a very fundamental way the arrangement of what constitutes you cannot be replicated.

Of course in that sense, everything and everyone is unique, so it's largely meaningless.

I think you're operating on countless faulty syllogisms anon. You speak of knowing who your true self is, but there is no you. That's the truth.

Oh come on.

Read Stirner. Stop believing in a fixed you. We're all meant to be in flux.
