I get it for safety reasons sometimes, but for people that are just minding their own business and in the background or just having a moment of being human and having a bad day, doesn’t mean they need to go viral or publicly shamed for it. It just seems so invasive to people’s privacy.

Sometimes I wonder how much of my personality is actually me, and how much is just a collection of things I learned to become. The way I act, the things I hide, the person I show to others. What if I’ve mistaken my defense mechanisms for my personality? What if I’ve spent so much time trying to understand myself that I’ve never really stopped to ask who I would’ve been if certain things had never happened to me? I think there’s a version of me somewhere that I never got to meet, and sometimes I miss them without even knowing who they are.

I mean ive wasted so much of my life hoping for love. Hoping to meet one i can build a connection with. A foundation with. Its like they say they like me. They truama dump on me way to fast but oh they said thry liked me and then they ramble on how their ex abused them or how he pretended to be gay to escape her. Im like why the fuck are you telling me that. Now everytime i see one i turn my head so she dont notice me. Im like nope im not gonna get rape allegation. I decided I have no motivation to approach. Any of them anywhere. They wasted my time. And so did i. They mistaked my kindness for weakness.

my childhood was based off christianity and it gave me a lot trauma

Morally, behaviorally, humanly.

Who is this "best" person that you know and why are they the best person in your opinion?

Update: Bruhhhh, why this sub has SO MANY old people? lol I don't mind it, but Reddit is mostly young and middle-aged.

Old people love the deep questions?

Personally, life's been treating me good lately. I have work and I feel productive, paid my bills and able to buy foods whatever I want but there's something missing and idk why

I know so SOOOO many people with horror stories, but personally I’ve never had any issues. On the flip side, anytime you were afraid to trust a doctor but they really saved you from something?

Like i love to care for the people but sometimes i think people take advantages of my soft heart

Currently 28 realizing I’ve spent msor of my life fearful and engaging in negative self talk. Always scared to try something new or stick to something hard or apply for positions/ opportunities or speak up.

I’m in therapy and Ikeep hearing the brain is adaptive and we as people can really actually change in a meaningful long way but I don’t feel it’s possible
