The problem with that is that it is very possible that from each temporary state, a very specific outlook on oneself follows, which would make it nearly impossible to give an accurate, objective or even slightly stable description of what one considers to be the 'self'.

There are probably characteristics you possess that you parents could tell us about that you still possess fron childhood. Maybe intelligent, argumentative, introspective. If you meet a girl later today that tells you that you are the smartest person she has ever met, it would probably make you happy. In some way, there are characteristics you possess that are at least "slighty stable". I'm sure your parents could tell us a lot about you.
