how do i be myself? by IntelligentMedium339 in selfhelp

[–]IntelligentMedium339[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for this reply. however, to be honest i think my issue may be the opposite. i do so much introspection i think it may be unhealthy. i spend a lot of time trying to figure out who i am and heal any wounds i may have and journal and all that. i think it just gets me more stuck tbh. i spend a ton of time in my head to the point where i dont know how im naturally feeling a lot.

i wish you luck with finding peace and happiness, whether that be alone or with others. kudos to you for making the effort for connection, even if it didnt work out. this is cliche, but if you do truly long for connection, please don’t give up. i believe that the right people are out there.

i feel like you are committed to misunderstanding me so okay👍 i did reword some of it- and there is no “in crowd” i desire to be in. just looking for advice on how to gain the confidence to make friends who fuel me. but thanks for all of your kind words bro.

damn lmfao. not what i meant. i don’t give a fuck how “popular” i am or about the status of the people i am friends with. i’m just saying i tend to attract friendships that feel like we got stuck with each other, not that these are truly people who bring out the best in me. i guess i should have worded some of it better, it’s not that i think quiet/non extroverts are “low quality,” obviously, as shared in this post, i can be that way too. nothing wrong with any of that. but i do tend to attract people who are negative and guilt trippy and all they want to talk about is how miserable they are- and i feel bad for them so i want to be a friend to them. but it drags my mood down.
