Be myself

Haven’t I been myself this whole time? I mean, sure I’ve changed and all.. But my goal isn’t to ‘be myself’ but to ‘be comfortable with myself’, I think.

I do enjoy looking back at my entries and everything and keeping this goal as a reminder to ‘keep it real’ haha :)

When you’re not being your real self, I believe that there is some pang of guilt or disappointment at yourself. That being said, I haven’t had any such pain recently, and I think this goal is pretty much completed. Though I don’t want to say I’ve done it officially because it’s a lifelong work in progress.

It seems so hard to decide who you want to be; therefore, you don’t know how to act.. Or you don’t know how to be yourself because you don’t even know yourself enough to be like you. And especially when you’re trying to improve yourself, it’s hard being yourself when you’re trying to break bad habits. Then you should NOT try to be yourself?

Agh. This sucks. How do I become someone who is more caring towards others if I’m too stuck on myself to have this goal and be trying to be myself? Sometimes being yourself is being selfish… But it’s more importantly being genuine, and not fake.

I need help/advice/someone to talk to.

“Everyone is a genius at being themselves.”

You know, I’m getting these quotes from this site :D

“Maybe being oneself is always an acquired taste.”
- Patricia Hampl

So the more you’re honestly acting to your friends, the sooner you come to realize that they love you for who you are. I think that’s what this means…

I’ve been feeling a lot more comfortable being myself around people… I feel like the person I am now is the person that all my friends like hanging around.

I definitely have also been judging my friends less and not criticizing their choice of lifestyles as opposed to mine.

I think that everybody has the right to be happy, and that’s kind of been my way of thinking lately.

PS;; And I’ve been talking to my Chomper more, and he helps me with my internal conflicts.

Well, I would really like to be myself all the time.

I’m tired of forcing myself to conform to every situation I’m dealt with. I feel like the ones that are closest to me are the ones who I’m so anxious to agree with in personality and opinion.

I’d rather stay close friends with my current friends than have an individual mind with dynamic views. I always regret my actions of blending in afterwards.
