One of the hardest things in the world is being who you are, instead of being who you think you are.
@Felthry I try to be who I want to be.
@starkatt That may be better still.
Just don't do what I often fall back on and try to be what you think other people want you to be. That's a recipe for driving yourself crazy with vague and unrealistic expectations. I spent so long in that state I'm not even sure who I think I am, let alone who I actually am.
@dodec Yeah, that's another tough one. And _then_ all that combines with the fact that who you are frequently does drift somewhat towards who other people want you to be anyway so it's not like you can just try to ignore all influence of others
I try to be who I am instead of who I think I am, but I'm not sure how well I'm succeeding.
