Forum: Friends

someone said they could be themself on here and it made me wonder, what is the difference between myself and who i have to be for other people? i'm a little weird, i definitely don't think like other people and have to put in a lot of effort to make sense. i guess a freedom would be to be that weird without worrying about massive social consequences or being mistreated for it.


what is yourself? how would YOU define being yourself, and what responses from people give you that feeling of safety to express who you are? what do you feel like you need to hide in the fast paced world that you can let a little bit loose on here?

Danitza, I totally relate. I have a tendency to say things and then after I've said them realize just how little I actually feel that way. It's hard to balance being honest and just staying quiet because the words that come first can end up being hurtful or reactive

I don't even have an answer for that question. I'm still trying to figure that out.

 That's probably a good thing
