I guess when you start to feel a certain way and as a result behave in a manner where you no longer recognize yourself,its time to sit yourself down and ask yourself questions as
"is this who i am? is this who i want to be? or am i just a product of conformity? am i being truthful to who my parents brought me up to be,and what my environment in the very beginning made me? can i still find back any semblance of my past and lead myself back home?"
I don't know man,but it works for me all the time,especially when i start to chase a certain trend which really adds no merit to my life,but instead takes away any form of honesty that initially existed. At the end of the day,i only want to answer to myself,be honest with my soul(because a person is always going to need his/her soul) and know that i've never,not even one single time,been someone i'd be disgusted at on hindsight some months later.
(ok this does not apply to certain characteristics such as temperament because my bad-tempered nature consistently disappoints me,as quickly as 5 minutes later)
