For me I can't stand the way I am because of my issues and have no sense of self as ok or likeable or acceptable neither to others nor to me, and so a magic pill would be wonderful if it could get rid of all the negative stuff that is messing me up and leave me with a sense of self that would allow me to feel safe inside my own head.

I really envy those who like and accept themselves, I really wish I could feel ok about being me .

Bring on the magic pill I say

You can get there, to the self-acceptance place. It's actually kinda must... but it's in no way impossible.

Of course, you still need to act normal around others... There's character in Coelho's Veronika Decides to Die who talks about keeping a bit of insanity while still functioning in the world.
