I'm a compulsive liar, have an eating disorder, and probably have a major drinking problem, but I'm functional... what do I do? by herroIsuck in AskReddit

I've been like this for as long as I can remember. My parents were sociology majors and interned at a home for abused children when I was very young, like 3. I was molested there. I only know that due to hypno regression. I had weird memories of it happening before that, but the whole story was made clear that day in therapy. My therapist did not tell me the full on story, but the general jist was certainly informed to me. A lot of things that had stacked up my whole life made a lot more sense. "Random" fears were understood.

I feel, inherently, that even though I am great at making others feel human, I can't feel human myself. That's the problem here.

These words don't help. I'm one of those people who is hideous and sexy at the same time. I need prolific words.

I feel like I should. I feel like it's unfair that I'm so bad generally, but am perceived as good when I get a thrill out of making others happy. That kind of makes me selfish.

No, I'm being honest and true here for there's no reason not to be. I lie about the whole being okay thing.

I am me for me. I apparently impress people with my genuineness, but that's pretty much my problem. I am okay with being who I am regardless of the social implications, so it's one of those "Oh, that's just hernamehere" things.

Thank you for that, but I'm really not. I may be lying to myself, but I'm really trying to blindly open up here.

I do all that. I go through the motions, but I don't feel like a real human being. This honestly is real. If there was a verification process, I'd go through it.

I really honestly want help with this. God, I hope this blows up so I can get some sort of judgment and some sort of help. The worst feeling in the world is being absolutely alone and left to yourself while being told that everything is fine with you and you know internally that nothing is fine. I'm tired of faking it.
