"Be yourself"

[Greenmind]

How many of you think you honor your own truth and are yourself?

[Om_Sadasiva]

I feel it. 666999

I don’t think I’m always true to myself. I’m a people pleaser, and I hate confrontation, so I find myself compromising to not make people angry.

Ever since starting therapy two years ago my self esteem has improved significantly. There are things about myself that I’ve accepted long ago. One thing I wish was different is my becoming a people person. Real life interactions drain me so quickly of energy that anything beyond standard greetings and small, small talk becomes joyless.

But I think it’s important for a human being to know yourself so you can be yourself. Imho.

[MisterCrowley]

im always myself have never managed to be any other way

[green5]

I practice be yourself most of the time but not all the time because I did compromise and give up some times.

[HalfSpider]

I think I will spend my whole life trying to.

[NotSeksoEmpirico]

If I were true to myself I’d be in heaven discharging thunderbolts at the wicked.

I try to be myself, but have been severely oppressed. I’m usually just quiet around other people.

It’s really nice now that I’m older I know who I am and I love myself and I love who I am and I love who I want to be.the person I want to be.

I wanted to be a vegan and now I am a vegan.

I know I am not able to do many things people “normally can” but I am pleased with what I do do and can do.

I am a bit of a pushover and feel like I’m in restraints and everyone’s bi tch kindof which I’m not overly happy about.

I don’t always feel I have a strong voice and I don’t speak up for myself and others.
I have seen someone do bad on a few occasions and was unable to speak up against them and I suck socially and avoid socialising yet want a social life and friends etc

I know my bad sides such as above .

I am a animal rights activist wanna be but because my voice is not strong and I’m a pushover and feel like I’m in restraints and everyone’s bi tch I can’t speak for the animals.i can’t be a voice for them because I can not even be a voice for myself but someone said I am a activist just by being a vegan and that’s enough.

I went years without laughter and now I am able to laugh again.not daily or super often but I can and do laugh and it’s great.years with no laughter at all was awful.

I don’t pretend to be someone I’m not but I am socially awkward I think and have difficulties socialising so my true person is not always or usually seen perhaps unless we communicate in spirit then they can know the true me better.
It’s symptoms you know…

I had so many positive symptoms before so I was always paranoid against people n had delusions about them etc but now that I’m better and stable it’s not as difficult.

I think I am true to myself but I don’t like that I suck socially and am a pushover etc
I would love to have friends etc but believe I have friends in spirit.

Being with my x boyfriend helped me see who I am and who I want to be.
We are very different.
He is very right winged and I am not.
I could see clearly I did not agree with his politics or all his beliefs etc and he hates veganism but he is a great man I hold high despite that he does things I disagree with like hunts animals.
