Post 1,172: The Real Me

December 08, 20251 min read

I spent a lot of my youth really concerned with other people’s opinions of me. I was constantly concerned about being judged.

Will he still want to hang out with me if he thinks this about me?

Would she ever get into a relationship with me if I am this way?

Or even better, I need to become X, or possess Y before I can even attempt to befriend him, or date her.

I am the one who put all these prerequisites in my head. I decided I lacked, or fell short, or simply wasn’t good enough.

When I instead shifted my focus to liking myself, and doing things because they were what I wanted to do, I found a lot of people who liked the same things. I found people who like me.

Pretty simple result when it comes down to it. If I like me, other people get the chance to like the real me.
