This is the real me

So, I already have an account on here which is my darker side, but funnily enough I am more scared and anxious about sharing the rest of who I am with anybody. I've just started a Masters in Counselling and as good as I am at helping others (I'm pretty good if I do say so myself 😉) I'm awful at helping myself. To work on this I decided to create a new account on here which is just me, no worrying about pleasing others, no hiding the parts of myself like i do irl just to fit in, no hiding from myself. This account will be where I can express things that are really happening or have happened in my life. things i have let myself ignore because admitting them means big changes which have negative affects in people in my life, pointing out to myself the red flags i pretend not to see so i have no excuse not to work on dealing with them. No idea if this will work but tbf this will be the most honest I have been with myself, in, well, ever and I have no idea how I will react writing it all down but what's the worst that can happen 😅

Welcome, real you

Hi, I think you'll feel comfortable here.
This is incredibly brave and honest of you to share. It sounds like you’ve spent a long time putting other people’s needs first and hiding parts of yourself to fit in, so choosing to be truthful with yourself is a really meaningful step. You don’t have to have everything figured out, and you don’t have to face it all at once. I hope this account becomes a safe space for you to explore what you’re feeling, at your own pace. Please be gentle with yourself while you do it, you deserve the same compassion and understanding that you give to everyone else. 😊
We all haveva light and dark side and eventually both come out no matter what your other alt is

I made an alt too when I was on EP. I was like 19 and for the same reason - to be able to say and do anything without the fear of being judged by my friends on there at the time and just other people too. That account ended up being more popular than my main acc. Lesson of the story - be yourself. That's why I didn't feel the need to make on here when sw started
