Is it normal to be so secretive?

same. sometimes i think god made a mistake, and meant to put me in a different dimension. lol.
i know it sounds stupid... but i dont care
like im just so different
30% of the questions/ problems other people have on this website, i have too.
the funny thing if that i have a response to like every question
:)

I used to feel the same way, even though I had no real secrets that I kept to myself. I just didn't feel like my friends and family understood me. I felt that I was above everyone else; that my way of thinking was different. I also felt like I couldn't be myself with people, or rather that I wanted to be myself, but wasn't able to.

Now, I found one person I can talk to, but I came to a realization: everyone has multiple personalities. To clarify; everyone changes the way they act depending on who they're with. When I'm with my friends, who I feel aren't on the same level as me, I purposefully "dumb myself down" so that they'll connect with me. I'm not saying that I pretend I'm stupid; rather, I don't talk about subjects that I know they won't understand, or topics that they won't be intelligent enough to care about.

With my parents, I act a different way, and with other people, yet another way. So really, everyone changes into another person, so to speak, to adapt to the situation they're presented with; thus making them feel like they aren't themselves, and that no one knows the real them.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I feel like I lead two different lives. I haven't done anything bad but I keep my accomplishments to myself instead of sharing them. I even have a job that noone knows I have.

Yeah, its normal. I feel like no one really knows me. A lot of people probably feel that way and its understandable.

I'm glad to let you kno you're not alone, I have so many things I don't tell people and I think when if i do tell they won't understand and will most likely see me differently. So i just keep it inside, which may or may not be a good thing but i rather keep my secrets to myself than tell others and see them hurt by them.

it's normal, but this secret could change your live and others around you if you reveal.

If you think about this, expandables, as you can move on. Then you need to reveal the truth.

But if you feel that most people around you, you need and depend on. Don't reveal the truth because it could separate you from them.

Do you think the real you is worse then what your family and friends think you are? If it bothers you then simply stop keeping secrets and try to open up.
