Today this is my Conundrum
Is it really me (who I am) that makes me feel like this or is it my feelings that make me who I am?

I would say that.... it can work both ways.
Who you are that makes you feel a certain way: e.g. I've always been sensitive about things, so if things don't go the way I need them to, I'll start tearing my hair out.
How you feel that makes you a certain way: e.g. I may not feel so great today & I may end up being cranky + belligerent.
That's what happened to me recently, just b4 the career fair.
HOWEVER, more elements/factors come into play that can offset both! e.g. doing damage control, training yourself to cope or to respond a certain way to the situation, possibly even willpower/determination, etc.
