However, I do think some therapy is advisable to explore who YOU really are or at least who you are right now - because this will change as you go through life. I think the fact it's causing you issues within yourself is enough reason to get professional help to assist in exploring who you are and why you feel you have to 'act up' for people.
I am 34 and I still act up with certain people. With some ppl I am quiet, with some people I am loud and funny. Certain people or groups will bring our certain aspects of your personality so maybe these characters are all some part of you or at least becoming some part of you.
Whatever the case is, some short term therapy will help you work this out and understand what's going on but IMO there is nothing malicious happening - saying that, I am no doctor...just my opinion!  |
Thank you for your comment. Right now I am being myself to you. Idk who that is but I feel safe. I feel relaxed. I am in therapy actually :-) it has helped me have hope instead of feeling like everything is going downhill and I will be stuck like this forever.
It annoys me when I completely change myself. I absolutely HATE it. And I hate it when I see other people do it because it reminds me of myself.
Not knowing who I am and changing myself has made me depressed before but not so much right now. Right now my big concern is knowing who I am and what works for me and what doesn't. Should I speak up or no? Should I be nice to this person or no? Should I make this decision or no? It's all that
