Regardless, the idea that "confident you" is a lie is still a depressing thing. I'd much rather you actually be confident and not terrified of fucking everything up. I say this because I hear this a lot from a lot of women I've known over the years, and in articles online about "what motivates women today", and I find the idea that everything in their lives seems to boil down to managing levels of personal fear and guilt to go about their daily activities. And that statement sounded a lot like the others I've heard. Which saddens me.putowtin said:
Not trying to preach at you or anything, just sort of bummed by the statement and the larger symptom it seems to reflect in our culture.
I'm a lot less sarcastic to and around people I haven't met before. Also, when I hear a stranger say something stupid or ignorant, I let it slide. I care enough about my friends to correct them because I don't want to see them turn into idiots.
My wife, maybe some of my friends. Curiously my father (whom I love and respect) doesn't know me at all, and it has been like that since I was very young. I always remember that when I was 6 years old, he gave me a soccer ball (safe assumption considering where I was born), but the thing is I never played Soccer. Same goes for my mother and sisters, it is sad but for example, I play several musical instruments... one of my sisters doesn't know I can do that, mainly because she doesn't care and she let's her husband (who hates me) tell her what to think of me.
In these last years the breach between me and my family has grown a lot, despite doing what I can to avoid it, but I have always been the black sheep of the family, the rebel, the one that did not do what was expected of me.

I don't even really know who the hell I am myself, let alone that any of my friends or acquaintances know.
Over the past couple years I've went through so many dramatic changes, I changed masks, thought I found the real me, changed again and again and again. Maybe I'm still wearing masks, maybe I'm still hiding the real me unaware to even myself. At this point I don't even remotely know any more.
Especially the past six or so months have been very dramatic in that regard. I'm still not sure whether I'm really comfortable with how I'm behaving right now as it doesn't really seem to be working out. Then again, no matter how I act it never really seemed to click with my environment. Used to be too much of a shut-in so I made a radical change, and now I seem to be too out-going? Dammit, is it ever going to work? I just want to connect with people already.

On the internet? Very few people.
In meatspace? Everyone.
I may be nuanced, but all my nuances lead to a very simple point: I'm amazing.
I am the hope of the tri-state area!
I am the leftover meatloaf for all living beings that cry out in hunger!
I am the night-light in the darkness!
I am the terror that writes bad emo poetry in the night!
I am Souplex!

In person, I only really open up to someone if I know them well enough. On the internet, however, I'm not afraid to be silly or hold conversations with total strangers.
I answered "friends" on the poll, because that's how I am in real life.

My friends get me I guess... I don't know who exactly that person is though.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
