I've noticed I don't like myself when I don't do what's in my true nature.

It's still interesting, but it would take quite a dissertation for me... and I'm still not up to par mentally right now. TC Just let you know I read it.

It's an intriguing observation, Jax. I have trouble knowing what my true nature is sometimes.

Hi, I didn't mean to make it sound so ecryptic. Is that the right term to use?
What I meant was-when I'm insecure, I become defensive and I act out in ways that isn't true who I am.

I do it trying not to appear vulnerable or stupid. I always end up wanting to bonk myself on the head, anyway.
I have to learn to put my defenses aside and just be me.

Thanks for responding.
(((((((((everyone)))))))))))))

I tend to agree/think the same way, Jax.

Someone just told me the other day "You're funny as [heck] when you're not all worried about what others think." And you know what? She's was/is totally right. So I get what you're talking about when you say insecurity causes you to act differently than what your true nature is. IMO, I believe there is a correlation between being true to oneself and being what they call "self-actualized". OK, I'm done rambling, but I found your statement to be kinda profound at any rate.

Hi therealme and ohlisafreespirit
Me too, ohlisa.
Therealme, I admire that you can smile and laugh. At least, that doesn't get people mad at you. When I don't like myself...
