This comes from personal experience: Don't over-analyze, don't over-think about anything. This leads to more questions and doubt, bringing out more suffering and confusion, especially in the mind of a pessimist like myself. Life isn't meant to be so complicated or difficult, it should be simple and enjoyable. Other people exist to make life easier, it's extremely difficult to live a life alone. 100 acquaintances doesn't match the value of a single close/best friend/lover.

Although inevitable, people shouldn't be put into 'categories'. Although this helps us understand each other and our differences, it leads to making assumptions, which may or may not be true for a unique individual. Yes, it's easy to group people based on appearance or personality, but it's important to remember that we are all unique, and we all have our own paths to follow.

:P I guess this was kinda like a mini-rant for me, but I hope some of it applies to your situation.

Post Re: I just need help understanding myself, my reality.

I remember when I moved in 7th grade, I haven't even found myself. I was just prey to everyone at school cause I didn't have anything to fall back on. No friends, no self esteem, I often wondered if life was always going to be like that. I hated 7th grade.

(What dosen't kill you, makes you stronger)

For some reason, through my whole life, I've never encountered anything thats made me doubt that. Every thing I do, I just try to make it better. At the end of the day, I just think about what all I've done that day, what kind of impression I left last on my friends. Ive been through just about everything with friends. I've encountered suicide, family abuse, sexual abuse, fights, not liking themselves, gay, straight, curious, fake, bipolar...the list goes on and on. I was lucky enough to be able to understand everyone, and help them on with there life. There problems helped me become stronger, and more knowledgable. I knew I could always be there for them.

I'm always myself. It always works out best for me. I love just hanging out with friends, that's usually where most of my time goes. I love who I am.

It just all comes from what you really think of yourself. It all comes from changing to what you want to be. Sometimes people change to impress others, sometimes people change because they know to be a better person, they have to do it for themselves.

Just think about what you want to be, whats wrong with you right now, how could you fix that, etc.

Leave the old you at the beach.

wow, you sound a lot like me (and apparently, everyone else)

Before I start, a lot of people have given the same advice , if so many people agree, there is probably some truth in it. I will try to mention new things, so pay attention. :P

You mentioned that you want to change yourself (I don't know if this is still true, but I'll comment anyway). Before you go on some huge path to self improvement, you should first make sure that you are the one who wants change. If your trying to change just to fit in, don't; it's not worth the hassle. If you are truly unhappy about yourself (you probably aren't, you sound like a real cool person (I just complimented myself :P)), go ahead.

If you aren't happy about who you are, try to explore new hobbies or interests that you might not have considered before(like kayaking maybe?(I love kayaking, yet seem to, like you, dislike exercise)this would fit in nicely with your fourth way to describe yourself). If you find one that you truly enjoy(even if it's not "cool") follow it and integrate it into your new you. You should also do this with the hobbies you already enjoy.

Even if you are happy with how you are now, it's a good idea to do this anyway.

Try to be open/enthusiastic about what you like. you may lose a few friends( who weren't really friends with the real you) but you'll make new ones too who you will, undoutably, be happier with.

Last but not least, I noticed that you mentioned anime music, drawing, writing and dreaming out your fantasies. This may not interest you at all, but I suggest you try to draw you own manga or comic book for fun.

Dont worry its critical thinking, everyone tries to sound smart, its what we do

Anyway my thoughts on what you have said about yourself and life:
Try and connect with people, not to the point where you are easily influenced but build relationships.

No need to categorise yourself because there is no catergory to describe you. Let other people try but know that there opinon is not the end of the world.

As per the whole teenage depression thing, I sort of havent hit or skipped that phase myself. IDK, personally my faith has gave my life direction and hope.

Emotions can be weird, ride them enjoy them but remain in control of your life and keep focused and positive.
(Feel free to hit me up on these things you said you dont understand, if you want some of my advice/opinons on the topics.)
