There are certainly a lot of things to think about when looking at yourself
What is important when thinking about all these issues is what works for you. It may be different to how your friends may sort things out for themselves.
You have to decide what is right for YOU.
Also different times and situations may mean you want to sort out your issues in a different ways at different times, and that is alright. If you are not sure, you can ask the advice of people you trust to help you go in the direction that is right for YOU.
