Do you ever get confused as to who you really are?

I grew up differently than most people around me now. Didn't recieve as much affection or validation. My beliefs are always changing too as I discover new things. I was an outcast.

Not knowing who I am was step towards healing. Not associating it to my psychopath father, violent context, the things I did as a child,the losses I faced, the things that were done to me by others and by me..it was the beginning of a rebirth.

I think our self perceptions are just social products, illusions. We have the ability to make our own.

Part of that is how others treat us.

Someone close to me treats me like I am an asshole.

I enventually convince myself I am an asshole until I realize there are so many people (work/Friends) who love me.

You sit there driving yourself crazy wondering why someone so close to you would treat you like you are an asshole.

Most of the time when I get confused over who I am its because I am thinking about what society thinks of my stereotype. How I should act versus how I do act. Thinking about what I expect of myself sometimes I wonder If I even like the things I say I like. Im trying to live a life in which im doing what I want but sometimes i lose myself thinking about what I [i]should[/i] be doing. Then even without thinking about others expectations I still lose myself. Its a complicated thing for me im not even sure if this makes sense

Mostly what the hell to do with myself in a poor community. Maybe the answers just to leave this redneck hick town and find somewhere with real opportunity. 🤔

good question I've never really thought about it, but I suppose I do at times.

I know who I am without a doubt. I've been through too much to have any doubts.

All the time. That mind machine which keeps me on auto-pilot just doesn't want to stop.

no i know who i am. ive spent most of my life on my own

No not at all.

I am perv 😊

I know who I am:)
