When you spend your whole life trying to be someone you're not, thinking that will bring you happiness only to find it does nothing for you at all. What do you do next?

These messages of just be yourself and don't care what other people think are so vague and abstract to me.

Literally the one thing I've ever done is try to please or appear cool to others it is the one thing I know. It is the only life I know. I can't point to anything genuine besides maybe enjoying the taste of food, enjoying touching women, enjoying sleeping, not sure what else.

I'm sure there are more things but its hard. I don't know how to find who I am from nothing.

I will talk myself into not being afraid to do something, that I would have avoided for fear of being judged and then realize I only thought that I would be judged for not doing it, and don't want to anyways.

    "Be what you is, not what you ain't. Cuz if you ain't what you is, you is what you ain't." In other words this says JUST BE YOURSELF. When you wake up in the morning any thing fake, phony or not real throw it out. You need to dig down deep to find who you really ate.

        I just realized your rrsponsd,
        "What if you haven't EATEN anybody". That makes it a bit more humorous.

            Damn, I didn't realize I did that, lol. I usually try and check my spelling. I'm so wetawded.
            Anyway you don't mention age or if M or F. I think between the sexes we have different reasons for doing things how and why we do. Thank you for the "Your soo sweet" comment. I try to treat others how I would like to be treated.

        Then take a few steps back, ask yourself what kind of person you would be friends with. Someone who is down to earth, honest, has integrity, good on their word, trustworthy. If you strip away all the BS, Be honest with yourself, deep down what's important to you? Friendships, honesty, being a guy that people can say you are true to your word, you are trustworthy. Focus on those kind of things. I had a brother that died in 1999, I couldn't stand to be in the same room as him. He was about the most arrogant prick I ever knew. That was his downfall - Arrogance. Keep that in check and things may get better. You don't always have to be the best fastest richest best car etc. I tell myself "it ain't nothin bit a thing". Just be aware of your attitude and outlook and how you treat others.

    What to do next. be you. don't over think your resonses.

    The vague abstract of don't care what other peeps think. simple.

    don't place so much value on it. what you think of you should always out rank what someone else thinks of you.
    example.
    i have a sweater i pulled up the sleeves i'm hot. a co worker comes buy and says your not suppose to wear it that way. i looked at her and said i'm a rebel i'll wear it anyway i want. laugh and moved on with our day.
    i value myself and i'm the only one who can see the full hand of cards. so why take opinions of others who only see some cards and have the play your hand?
