I'm actually making a positive post. Is this really happening?

Anyway, yeah, I'm not going to let others define me anymore. I'm gonna do my own thing and not worry about whether he cares about me or she wants to be my friend or they like me or she's just lying to me or whatever. If they want to be in my life then they will be, and I'll be here waiting, but I'll be okay either way and I'm not going to be the one making all the effort anymore. I'll give 50% only if they give me 50%.

This is just what I'm telling myself. I'm trying to hold onto this. Maybe it'll help me. Maybe if I pretend I'm okay for long enough I'll actually be okay.

Good luck. Let me know if that works. Seriously. I am not in a good place now and am sinking more and more.
if this truly works for you then awesome! May give me hope that I don't have at the moment.

Telling yourself that works to a point. You need to come up with something to act as a reminder for when you forget or your determination fails. Even some type of reward for yourself. You've set yourself a nobile goal, but one that will not be easy to keep. I wish you the best of luck. May your determination reign supreme and stay strong.

I wish I could be like that. I often have to put on a mask to seam ok and like I don't want to fall to pieces. I have very few people I can be me with, if I even know what that is. On a bright note, I do somewhat enjoy it. It's almost like a game to pretend to he someone your not. I do find it better when I feel comfortable and I can be me, both the good and bad.

For me it's like I have a hard time not being myself when I'm around other people. Like I get close to people too quickly and I reveal things too quickly, even though I'm terribly afraid of being hurt. I wish I could change who I am, or at least be better at putting on a mask. But then on the other hand I don't even know who I am.

Good for you!

This is very positive to me.

I am doing the same thing. No one anymore tells me what or who I am!

And, yes, we deserve 50 per cent or more. No more crumbs.

No more being treated like a worthless, second-class life form.

I've turned into a stalker. And I can't stop. What do I do. Has this ever happened to any of you? What do I do? How do I stop myself?

I would suggest some form of distraction, but I've never had that problem, so I have no clue if it would work. Sorry I can't offer more.
