What do you wish people knew about you?

How hard it is for me to ask for help. People always compliment me on my strength, but if they only knew how severely tired I’ve become doing everything myself.

Everyone thinks I am strong but in reality I am just to stubborn to ask for help.😒

I have too much pride for my own good.

I don't know how to ask for help when I need it. I always tend do always just do it.

I may not always have an answer or a clue on fix it. But I'll figure it out on my own without asking for help.

Say a modern car breaks down and I don't know to fix it. I will rebuild it to work like its from the 1960s-1980s cars. I will rip out all that modern junk and make it run on the basics.

You don't need all that useless bullshit for a car to work. I done this for a long time

And I'll do it all by myself

When I go quiet is the time that I need support the most.

I can't find the words to reach out and ask for help - and I struggle to answer questions like "How are you???" but I can often hold down a conversation when it has a direction.

I'm happy with people not knowing anything about me.
As long as I know me.
My interactions with other people do not come from a hope of something in return. I used to look for my needs to be met externally at one point in my life. And there was an element of pleasing people in how I engaged with them. It always left me somehow feeling let down and betrayed.
Because I was not true to myself and my needs. Because I didn't even know what they were, not really. I thought all that came from outside of me.

Nothing because that's when they see my weakness and use it against me.

That I'm really, truly, shallow and selfish and vain and an awful friend.

And sometimes It's hard to explain it all - Because I'm lazy too.

But thanks for asking 👍

The less they know the better because you can’t trust anyone with anything. I get what you are saying though. I have to remain stoic because I’d crumble and fall apart from lack of love, affection, and comfort if I didn’t.

how very hard it is to wake up to the same groundhog day daily grind, when i contain multitudes, fever dreams, acid trips, and daisies...that those things can't JUST BE revealed..they have to be ACTIVATED

I tend to be the same way. It can be very hard to be everyone's rock when you stand on quicksand. You can be strong as steel, but even the strongest steel can break if it's not forged with care.

That I'm actually an intelligent guy, or at least I think so. Just because I'm handsome, doesn't mean I'm the equivalent to a male "dumb Blonde." 😎

I wish that peopleknew that I was an alcohloic because I care, and that I am gay.

That my bluntness and honesty is meant to be helpful.

That my tourettes is real and I can't control it

Nothing.

People will know and think regardless.

Most, on this site, know that I am alone.

Few here, where I am, even want to know. It's like being a shadow, which is most often ignored.

I do go out most nights. Tonight it was Micky D's.

I’m a bit like you, if I have problems or hurt I tend to internalise rather than seek help or advice. I trust few but I’m getting better.

I'm not sure. I wonder if people knowing me better would be better or worse for me. Or whether it would make any difference at all.

That I'm really only 5'11

Just because I've been to outer space doesn't mean I'm comfortable with everything

Just because you can see right through me doesn’t mean you know who I used to be 👻

Don't really think about it to be honest

I like British comedy.

I don't even know myself anymore

Literally 100% the same for me

I take things slow

That I'm actually caring and kind

How to love me

The reserve, the distance isn’t arrogance—it’s shyness.

That I'm here for you. Just ask.

What my life has been

I got dropped on the head as a kid and I ran to the side of the table hitting my head when I was 7. I have never been the same again. It is why I am the way I am

Exactly! Thank you very much 😊
