@pearlguitar-88 Idk man am going through an identity crisis idk if am me anymore i feel like am wearing a mask 24/7…
jadetiger-51

At that point, you are the mask.

jadetiger-51

💀

jadetiger-51

but if you FEEL like you're wearing a mask.

jadetiger-51

then that means you have a sense of self.

jadetiger-51

which means you can still FEEL your sense of self.

jadetiger-51

WHICH MEANS YOU JUST NEED TO DO SHIT FOR YOURSELF.

jadetiger-51

jadetiger-51

Pretty much.

jadetiger-51

Yes.

jadetiger-51

That's difficult.

jadetiger-51

for someone who has worn a mask for so long.

jadetiger-51

which is why you need to start small.

jadetiger-51

start instinctual, 'what kind of snack do I like?'

'What's actually my favourite colour?'

'What scents and perfumes do I like the most'

Etc.

jadetiger-51

don't ask yourself the big questions right away.

@jadetiger-51 which is why you need to start small.
pearlguitar-88 OP

Being a secretive person makes this very difficult.

@pearlguitar-88 Being a secretive person makes this very difficult.

pearlguitar-88 OP

@pearlguitar-88 And by secretive person i didn't mean doing things in private i meant if am sad about something or…
jadetiger-51

I don't see how that can interfere with what I said.

jadetiger-51

You don't need to tell anyone but yourself how you feel.

jadetiger-51

@jadetiger-51 You don't need to tell anyone but yourself how you feel.
pearlguitar-88 OP

@pearlguitar-88 But you said to do things i wanna do
jadetiger-51

Yeah, I just gave you a few examples, you don't need to them to a T, I just mentioned because to me, and I hope to most people, these things are small.

jadetiger-51

miniscule.

jadetiger-51

things that people accept can be changed.

pearlguitar-88 OP

pearlguitar-88 OP

And act like he was

@pearlguitar-88 So how can one drop the mask
jadetiger-51

I told you.

jadetiger-51

jadetiger-51

start small.

jadetiger-51

jadetiger-51

@jadetiger-51 take it step by step, inch by inch.
