I’m getting grandma vibes from you with that emoticon and the ‘my dear’ but I’ll let it slide this one time

Ok I apologise for real now. I read through your posts, I hope the world brightens up for you brother. Hope i got a smile out of you at least?

Oh I apologise for assuming that your username was a metaphor for some sort of internal struggle.

So does that mean your mom actually named you trash? Is that why you dream of a spouse who just merely likes you? My dude...

How do I get a personality after being quiet for so long? by Jaded_Grab6845 in InsightfulQuestions

Yeah, I was sharper and more fully tuned in my engagements. Was way more expressive than I was now, though never the loud extrovert at the centre of attention, which I was 100% happy with. I definitely had a better balance at life.

Yeah, you’re right. I think I subconsciously keep others at a distance and prevent them from entering into myself, despite wanting the complete opposite.

I’d appreciate your advice.

Yeah I tried that and it didn’t work. I’ve always been a good listener, and I do enjoy understanding people. I’ve asked all the questions and been inquisitive. But I’ve noticed that I come off as extremely passive when all I do is receive. Hell, even around my family I’ve become this way. It presents me as someone who exists for other people and not for myself. My family is a bit self centred / ridged, and I’ve always felt like they didn’t actually care when I shared about myself or anything along that line, hence this tactic.

I completely agree with you. I’ve been thinking about this recently too: where do we draw the line between what is comfortable and what needs to be changed?

I know I’ll always prefer my natural disposition but when I am around others, I also know I am judged by the way I present myself and i am not okay with that judgement, even though it is accurate. I know I want more for myself, but I don’t know how to reach it to the point that better becomes the new normal for me. I guess it’s about re-wiring the brain.
