Finding the real you

Post Reply New Topic

How do you do it? Personally, I’m doing it, but right now, there’s a setback. I mean, I’m wondering about the things my old self used to not like that I like now. Am I betraying my real self for liking these things? There’s a hole in my conscience every time I do something to feed one of these likes, is it the real me talking?

"The real you" is in my opinion something dynamic. There is no problem that your taste in things change. Everyday we have new experiences, and we incorporate them to ourselves. Therefore, we "evolve" over time.

It really depends on the day.

My "real me" for January 31, 2017 would probably be fake today.

The real me is the person of the moment, if I can relax and I don't put up a front that's it. No deep soul searching required.

I've always considered the person one is won't in any way remain static; personality, priorities and other traits all change over time, just as one does physically.

As whole, it's the now.
I'm a depressed anxious wreck as a 15 year old, but not as a 12 or 21 year old.


But beneath all that, or at least the kind that one thinks is their inner self, is held back by conscience, occasional mind fog, bad working memory, and social cluelessness.
Is it? But yes, those were the things I want to get rid of, to bring out the self I 'want' to be.

I would consider the real me as the guy I am when alone.
When in other humans presence I become a lot of confuse thoughts, tenseness, etc. I become an automata controlled by fear and it's self-defense mechanisms.

I've found the real me last year around this time. The real me prefers Germany over Britain and is not afraid to show it. The real me also likes the 40s and likes things to do with WWII. The real me is also proving to people that Germans are not monsters. The real me doesn't need to fake a Cockney accent because the real me has nothing to hide.

It's just that in the past, my old self forced myself to like certain things, and even today, so many tendencies resulting from faking it until I made it are still around.

The real us is within all of us and evolving to know that we're all saved forever in the end, everything and everyone, and that what we think, feel, say and do eventually comes back to us.

The "real me" is in a constant state of playing "hide and seek."
