"It's me who has influenced my life". "I myself have influenced my own life" or "Me myself have influenced my own life". Are these sentences correct?

Look at the spelling of the longest word in your post. It's the same word three times. You spelt it correctly once.

It is I who have influence on my own life.

But I think "Who" should be followed by "Has" because we are referring ourselves as "Third person". Like "I am the one who does it". "I am the person who works here". "I am the one who takes care of children". Am I correct?

Are these sentences correct?

They're all nonsense to me. I have been in control of my own life would work better IMO.

Is it OK to say 'I am the one who dictates my own life'?

No. Like Tdol, I don't find any of the OP's statements natural either.

I'm in charge of my own destiny.
I'm in control of my life.

Please guys, answer my questions also. I am confused. "Who" should be followed by "Has". Am I correct?

'I, who have nothing, am happy enough.'

'I am the one who has nothing, but am happy enough.'

Not me! I am none of those who are constantly hungry (if you didn't mean chocolate, of course ;-) )

Lotus888 has written "It's I who have influenced my own life". So it should be "It's I who has influnced my own life". Am I correct?

Rover k, has written two sentences with "Who". In the first sentence he has used have whereas in second one he has used has. Why?. Didn't get it.

Because 'I' is the first person and 'the one' is the third person.

1. "It's I who has influenced my own life" is grammatical but weird.

2. Rover and I illustrated for you that "who" doesn't have to be followed by "has". (It can be, but it doesn't have to be.)

3. It's probably best to stick to one thing at a time. Otherwise, things can get confusing.

So, should I say I am the person who have done it. This sentence doesn't have one.
