Honestly, I was thinking today just as every other day. I have these deep thoughts that may just seem like light thoughts to anyone else. Everyone says, be 'yourself', don't be fake. Don't act like someone else or act differently from how you normally act. Yet I can't do that. Why? I don't know how to be myself. Because I don't how or what 'myself' is. What type of person am I? How could I possibly be clear about what I'm like. I just act according to my mood. I'm normally relaxed, and generally in a good mood. That continues for a long while until all the pent up frustrations are built into my body with no release and 'myself' changes. I talk tersely, and less excitedly. After that, my friends say I'm not acting like myself and ask me if I'm alright. I tell them I'm just frustrated, and I act according to my mood. One of my friends respond, "So you were just acting all this time?" I didn't know how to respond. I didn't consider it as acting for the past few days. When I'm happy, I blabber joyously. When I'm angry, I don't talk much and act out of sorts. Is it wrong to change how I act now and then? I'm pretty sure it isn't. But it's upsetting when everyone thinks differently. "You were just acting like someone else this entire time." "You aren't like that at all, you're an entirely different person." "Fake. You're a fake person." No, I don't agree with those thoughts at all. I'm not that bothered someone would think of me like that. But I'm bothered they have that mindset.

..knowing they have never thought about things like you do, and so will never understand why you feel like this is normal behaviour. The truth is they’re the ones acting, they just don’t realise it themselves.
Replyi know exactly how you feel and it is scaring me how much i know what you mean. i feel fake when i get mad too.
Replyyou know ... its ok to act the way you are feeling... dont mind them... as long as you know your not faking every emotions you show to everyone...then its cool.. real friend listens ... to what ever you feel or you need to say.. or have to say just to let go of something ... and by the way.. as a 14 years old.. you talk like im younger than you.... :)
