I was just wondering if anyone feels the same way / knows how to get over this feeling?
Whenever im around people or in school or at dance or wherever im usually a very happy person. im very out going and love to try new things but unfortunately thats all a cover. i started to injure myself dealing with relationships and now it has just gotten out of control, but the point of this forum is that i feel fake when i injure myself too. I dont know what / who the real me is anymore =/ |

Hi Dance, do you try to be whoever you think you need to be to get approval or love (instead of being who you really are)?

thats a really good way of putting it, i guess thats it... its like whenever i dont put the cover on (of being all happy and outgoing) people ask me questions about whats wrong and they just get really worried?

Aha! You just had an Aha! moment as my therapist would say. Often times I feel like I need to be the person everyone wants and expects me to be . Like I get really silly, flamboyant, etc. and make up weird funny things to do at work and such. Then when I get low( my moods are unstable, very) , people ask me what's wrong? and they get uncomfortable around me. Well you know what, I'm me. That's me. It's hard to say to people I''m just having a moment. Or to tell them that you are thinking about something, or whatever. I don't know the answer to your question. But I'm working on getting comfortable in my own skin no matter what the feeling is. I don't know if this helps. But I think I understand where you are coming from?

do what you think is more comfrotable for you. if your not comfortable with it, then dont do it. my suggestion is try to stop cutting when your ready to. and why should you being happy be a cover? you should be happy. your going to school, your going to dances, and your around other people. thats fun, right? i loved going to dances, and if i didnt i actually showed that i wasnt happy. be happy. its not good when people are sad.
