    A few important things I forgot to mention:
    1) You can never really "find yourself". You are already everything you need to be. Finding your authentic self is all about letting go of ideas and beliefs you have about yourself and what you're supposed to be.
    2) Notice how much you try to hide from the world. How many things are you ashamed of? Embarrassed of?
    Make a list of all of your insecurities. And ask yourself "Can I fully accept these things?". Sometimes just by acknowledging and accepting them, you begin to stop caring about them.
    3) You will become truly authentic once you let go of the fear you have of being rejected and accepted. Contemplate in which you ways you avoid being your true self, due to the fear of what others think. Can you begin to change this?

      @@myselfasevan oh my God, then you need to make a trip to San Francisco. This is a city that’s truly is very creative very spiritual. Remember this is where the hippie Revolution came from. Yes I know that all this tech money has come in from all over the world including its assholes from all over the country and all over the . But at the end of the day, the city does drive those people away. They go off to somewhere else to leave their trail of destruction make their money good example Elon . But the truth spirit of the of the city is anything goes. I really hope you take some time to make a trip over to the city especially during the summer when we’re having a lot of street .

      Like New York & LA every everyone’s trying to be a star. When I visited friends I noticed the hippie and the spiritual scene was more like contrived wannabes fake it didn’t seem authentic like it does here in San Francisco . But here in San Francisco we don’t have that industry here. The only industry would be the tech world which doesn’t really mix with any other group but itself not to say that they won’t try to join the hippie group, but you can quickly see who they are. I was born and raised in San Francisco. I live in a suburbs right now But the amazing thing about the city is whatever it is your into you’ll find your tribe here.

    Being happy and at peace in solitude is one of life’s most beautiful experiences. A person doesn’t have to do it all the time, but if a person can’t ever do it, it is an indication that some self-work is likely needed.

    All my past life I was different and I even believed at some point that I was not ready for this world, but after something huge woke in me later on in my life i Knew that the world is not ready for me, and I still keep going by being myself to the core of my soul as its my mission, and now it even doesn't matter anymore that people who I thought loved me fallen apart, I am like a taking off rocket losing some parts as it reaches the atmosphere what will remain is what was waiting so long to finally simple BE. God bless good people...

      To try to "fit in" and be a "people pleaser" type is one of the worst things I feel. I ve tried to just enjoy simple things in the past few years, looking out over the ocean at 10 am in the morning, or walking through a lush green forest.
      Interactions with people can often be extremely stressful, or otherwise just underwhelming, a lot of superficial BS.

    Well, you are fitting in. Almost everyone is doing this nowadays whether in secrecy or not. Being alone is the new trend, which explains most of the misery nowadays.
    We’ve become so polarized, I seriously can’t blame those who off themselves.

      Interesting perspective. I agree I think the lack of community today is making us miserable. Every man for himself mentality is not serving us, at the same time everyone is scared to be vulnerable or admit that we in fact need each other to live in a better society. Unfortunately I don't see that happening anytime soon or even at all. Humans as a collective would need to enter a new level of consciousness to realize this and take action.

      Pushing this hustler’s “every man for himself” mentality is not only horrendously stupid but toxic and dangerous. Human civilization wasn’t built like this, history will tell you that. I don’t believe this terrible influence is going to go away anytime soon. Plus, nobody seems to really care but rather take advantage of the situation for monetary reasons and other malignant agendas.
      Bottom-line, If weak men don’t get the help that they deserve. Call me nuts, but a revolution is right around the corner.

    And run
    passed on to others. Then back again. Chasing your tail around and around.
    Affecting our autonomic nervous system. That's why a lot of people today like to be by themselves .

    The problem with this is that I have social anxiety disorder so it is very difficult to not care what others think and I noticed that when I do people tend to bully me, ostracize me and alienate me and attack me with little cutting remarks. Some people have even gotten physically threatening with me. Just because they perceive as rude and I don’t know what else. ❤

    I worked in NYC for 3 years- I was in media and entertainment and it was strange how fake the people were. I didn’t drink alcohol and even though I was good at what I did, I didn’t fit in with the people socially. I did find some people to hang out with here and there based on certain interests or events, but at the end of the day I was back home alone. Back then I felt very alone. I thought I had to keep up doing important sounding events to be noticed or accepted but it was a lot to keep up with. I did enjoy it, and I’m glad I had that experience, and it was mostly my ego on overdrive that enjoyed NYC, the attention I got through media etc. But my spirit felt out of place and lonely a lot. I met a lot of weirdos who seemed to reflect back to me that shadow side within me. Eventually life took me out of there, and I live in a quieter place now. So many times I have listened to conversations that sound incredibly scripted and fake, and people not listening to each other, but rather just waiting for their turn to talk. People talk a lot, but very little connection takes place. It’s usually just the ego trying to get its fix and using people to do that. True connection is rare and only among those who have connected deeply within themselves and have a certain level of self awareness and are more conscious. They aren’t always visible but we are guided to meet such people now and then by divine orchestration. As long as we get rid of the fake stuff that doesn’t resonate
