Why is it so difficult to be yourself in public?
I'm always trying to make other people happy at the expense of my own that I forget to just be myself.

It sucks

And bc I care more about making other people comfortable around me, a common phrase I always hear is "you're a joy to hang out with"

But do they truly enjoy my company or do they simply like the way I make them feel when I'm around them?

Nah a brief review of sociological theories will explain this. We are conditioned from birth to find our identity in other people's opinions of us.

We literally formulate our own self image from other people's opinions of us. It's completely whacked. It's also how we are manipulated and controlled by the elite.

Co-dependency, OP, you’re probably suffering from that. People pleaser at the expense of your own nonexistent or minimal boundaries.

Yeah I'm also going through a lil rough patch right now that has impacted my confidence a little so I feel I'm purposely keeping a low profile to avoid attention.

But you're 100% right, people pleaser for sure even though I know how much people love my personality when I'm just being myself.

I suffer from it myself so I can relate, my friend. It’s such a hard thing to overcome.

I’m sorry you’re going through a rough patch rn.

Question: How would you act around other people if you could just be 100% yourself?

Mild autism, or low confidence levels. Lift weights and sprints as fast as you can. And stop eating problematic foods like processed sugars, dairy, and lastly gluten.

I just learned about it being ok to have boundaries. Between serving God, and the USMC and a mother that loves me but is very hard to have as a mother. I never learned them well.

Life is going better with them. I worry less. I have learned to take care of me.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80820327


It's sort of a difficult question to answer bc it's been a few years since I've truly been myself, and that change sort of coincides with the beginning of the pandemic and being locked down for close to a year working from home.

But I'm usually just goofy and very personable. I'll literally try to start up a conversation with any random person

I think the definition of happiness is living life how you envisioned it, and not in the shadow of another person's life or how they believe life should be lived.

When I'm in that zone, life is complete bliss.

But I'm rarely in that zone, and I'm usually either extremely depressed or extremely happy. I haven't been able to find that middle ground, and that's affected a lot of relationships in my life.

I watch porn maybe twice a week, but it's been about 4 months since I've had sex, so I'm sure that's contributing to the lack of confidence.

Regarding falling, per urban dictionary

"The state of mind and feelings you get when you begin to feel love for a person you are sexually attracted to. It puts you into a helpless state where you want the high and can get into trouble chasing it because you become blind to everthing else - hence the term Falling."

Not sure if this is what you meant, but I used to be like that, had my heart broken a few times. Now I'm single and just learning how to find happiness in other things, like music which right now is the only thing really getting me excited in life.

Well Ellen Degeneres once said

"we spend most of our time thinking about what other people are thinking of us when all they're really thinking about is what we're thinking about them"

I guess it works both ways, but you're right, I'm sure I have little to no influence on most of the people in my life, as I'm sure is the case with you too

Digestive health is your second brain.

I lifted weights today and got a crazy good workout in. Definitely feeling those endorphins firing.
