I can be the social chameleon. I know how to attract people. I have sacrificed myself for this. I used to hide my depression with it. NOw, it’s more a sense of hiding my evolution. I can see through people within seconds. It’s easy to see whether someone is false or rude or shallow…. and in the past I would simply walk away from these people…. but it left me isolated… so by act like I like them, it makes them want to have me around….
I guess I’ve sacrificed my power and masculinity to be popular…. to fit in
I start work soon and I’m aware of the importance of fitting in…. I want these people to like me if I am to be around them five days a week for the next year…. the last thing I want is to feel stress on a daily basis over just being myself…. but it’s hard because I want to be the strong male I know I am…. I don’t want to feel I have to entertain or put up with geeks or tards or uninteresting people just because we lack chemistry
I guess I’m still trying to figure out who I am exactly and who I’ve lost along the way…. I thought I had it sussed, but really I was forcing myself to expose myself to people I lacked chemistry with….
I shouldn’t feel I have to be anything more than myself
I shouldn’t feel I hate myself and that I have to put on a front
I shouldn’t feel that I’m not enough
