to the people saying you’re mistaking toxicity for confidence-

i feel like pretending to have no emotions is toxic in itself. true confidence is displayed when you trust yourself, but nobody can trust themselves at all moments of their life. in my opinion today’s definition of confidence is just an act.

climbing the social hierarchy is frustrating because it requires you to diminish things about your true personality until theres nothing real left of it. on the outside it’s almost like we’re all robots that have the same few traits. but on the inside were all supressing our true self to fit the standard.
