I believe over time we hopefully learn to understand and accept ourselves.

I hate labels but I would be considered an extrovert... and was bullied about many different things as a child/teen.

As an "extrovert" I wanted acceptance for "who I am" just as an introvert would want.

We let people in and out of our lives because we do or do not share the same values (and values change throughout life).

You have the power to live the kind of life you want as best you can. You choose who or what you want in your life. I'm an "extrovert" but I have just a very few people in my life that mean so much to mean.
I think it's smart to find a career that fits who you are.... it takes time to figure it out. If you do not fit in at work... and are miserable, you better find something different because we spend a huge amount of time at work.. and life is going to suck more and more!

It does not have to.... live by your own shoulds!!!!! No one is like you and that is GREAT!

Like I said, it could take a while to figure it out but do not view your own life by someone else's standards.

I am not getting any younger or richer.. or so on.. there are those days that are so hard and wonder if it's all worth it...but I am much happier with MY life choices... and if it is not the right choice I figure it out and move on!

It's good to discuss things that are hard. It's good to be able to come to places like this and know you are understood.......

But action is required for your life to get better... you do not need to turn into someone else.... you need to accept yourself.. the good, bad and ugly.
