Simple but great answers. The 3rd one is something that is not brought up into discussions that much ,specially compared whit the first two, but it resonates whit me. At my best, I consider myself an interesting person so I don't want to become someone who is "normal" just like everybody else. I want to believe that is possible to feel both authentic and liked by others, as for now, is hard for me to believe anybody likes and I neither feel as authentic as I would like. I won't trade the least bit of authenticity for happiness tough.
