How I wish I had more social skills. How I wish I could be more true to myself. How I wish I could be more connected with my feelings. How I wish I had a greater sense of self. How I wish I knew how to stand up for myself and that I am entitled to do so and that I don't owe anything to anyone.
How I wish I knew better how the world works what kind of people there are out there and how they interact with each other. How I wish I had more life experience. How I wish I wasn't so disconnected with everything out there.
I wish I had a life. I don't like how I live by others stories.
I don't like how I don't seem to have opinions of my own, how I will mostly agree with what others say, how I try to validate everything they say and how I feel like I have to excuse myself all the time with everyone.
I am supposedly an adult, but I feel like a child that has only one duty, be obedient.

I understand how that feels, mulan. I have a lost sense of self from spending most of my life being what others expected me to be. It has been difficult to find my true identity because my thoughts, feelings, and perspectives have shifted away from who I really am.
