I feel like this all the time.. it gets to the point where I don’t even know who the real me is, I’ve spent so much time pretending to be slightly different to suit each aspect of my life (work, family, friends).

When is the introvert only dating app happening?

Be yourself, everyone else is wrong.

Plus sticking around for this psychedelic techno future that is coming upon us rapidly is going to be wild to witness.

And I cleaned up the shore. Can you guess what role I'm playing ?

If we know ourselves, we can be honest and true. We live honest and true lives unto ourselves and so likewise unto others. Those that stick around regardless of our honest and true selves, honestly and truly love us. Those that walk away don't. Truth always wins and comes out in the end. You can't go taking life from somewhere and putting it all wherever you please because you "know" things will workout better for you if you do. The Universe does not stand for this. The Universe has it's own plan. You get on board or you get thrown out.

It's like Star Wars. Anakin Skywalker has a fearful vision of the future losing the woman he loves in child birth. In trying to prevent this bad thing from happening he leans towards the dark side of the force and becomes engulfed by it. He causes her demise, but luckily not the demise of his and her children which he very well could have... a child that enabled his redemption later (Luke Skywalker).

If you want to make it right then first you need to grow some backbone. Secondly, some relationships that were never right for you, you have to walk away from so lives their lives and yours can be made right by the Universe. Thirdly atonement and restoration is both decided on, and then comes from the Universe for yourself, but also for all the relationships you made wrong by playing your "roles" which was wrong of you to begin with.

If you feel the Universe is trying to correct you from the path you chose in life, don't think that the feeling of displeasure and anxiety over it as a punishment. It's a service warning to you. Think of it a last ditch act of Grace from the Universe with all the potential of leading to forgiveness and redemption. Punishment only comes if you refuse to correct yourself. You don't have to be dragging those that are around you now (which you are doing) down into that dark hole by not correcting yourself out of these wrongful relationships you were not meant for. Someone else honest and true was meant for them and they can still be out there waiting for their part of life that you wrongfully took for yourself.

Don't fear to give up everything that's wrong. Don't fear to accept everything to come that's right.

Trusting someone just one time and the right dude will change your life.

I have lots of people who love me but I often feel the same way. Practicing gratitude is really important for my mental health. Make a list of things you are grateful for everyday and try focusing on those things for at least 20 minutes a day. Dancing around in my underwear helps too!

Fear of the unknown.
Fear in itself can be debilitating.
Just have to rip it off like a bandaid. Fear !!
Quickly be done with it.
If a situation is not right and you stay, it will eventually hurt everyone around you.
Even with you think your doing whats best for everyone.
Your not.
Damn life is annoying.
You have to be happy with yourself first.
Each person is responsible for their own personal happiness.
You are not in charge of anyone elses happiness. Not your job.
Two people should enhance each others lifes, but not be 100 dependant.
Its not healthy.
Im ready for a new adventure.
So ready.

Hey @ universe
You sound like you are still in love with someone and are speaking from a personal life experince.
Care to share ?
I like sharing.
Maybe that special someone still cares about you too.
Have you contacted them directly ?
Cause I think you should Man :)

Hey it actually sucks being introverted but there are a lot of us. If I have anything useful for you, it’s that there’s a difference between faking your feelings, ideas, and principles and pushing yourself to get out of your comfort zone for the sake of acquiring new experiences. The first will turn you into a liar, the second will make your grow positively. Maybe you need to enlist friends or find groups that force you to interact with people, and mastery of that skill will help you in all things, not just love. Be well.

Lots of advice here.
Are you willing to accept who you are... as is? I mean, really accept all that you are? I'm not saying to love who you are, or even like... I'm asking you to merely accept it for now.
If you can change the things you don't like, then please do. Anything you try will grow you, and any change will empower you. And others will applaud you. Maybe not right away, but over time people will notice.
If you can't, then appreciate those things (unless it’s stuff that causes harm, then seek help at once). These things are what makes you the person you are. Everybody is weird. Everybody has something going on. Really, look around, the world is packed with freaks. Chances are others have seen these weird things you think you don't show already and accept these things more than you do.
Everyone shows pieces, or the best versions of some or most of themselves. Sometimes the do this in certain places, sometimes they do this everywhere except in front of those close to them. For the most part, that is normal.
Giving up on hiding yourself happens a lot more the older you get. As you get older you realize that other people's opinions don't really matter as long as you're not hurting others, causing harm or being so selfish as to hurt others. You have to live with you. Trying... however you try to improve the things you can work on... is what counts.
So take some time, make a list, separate the things you can possibly change from the things you know you can't (or just can't right now) and go from there. And unless they sign your cheques or pay your rent, unless they're people you love and unless you're causing harm, the rest can suck it. You have one life to live: yours.
You'll never get 100% love of every aspect of you from everryone. Different people like different things, some people can never be pleased, some people expect way too much and give too little, but if the ratio of your good-to-bad is higher on what people like, you're on the right track. Just remember you can't please everyone!
Please be you. Live your life. It's yours to live.
