Current Events > You ever just not want to be you anymore?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Lately I've been really sick of myself. Not my appearance or anything like that but I'm just fed up with my mind, struggles and life in general. I don't want to be me anymore. Not if this status quo is as permanent as it seems to be.

i love me, im thankful for who i am

but yeah

my life is too hard. my upbringing, my job, my baggage. im permanently overwhelmed. there are those who have it a lot worse, but im fuckin tired man. i wish i had a different life

All the time

If I wasn't me I wouldn't exist so no. But unless you mean some weird scenario where I can like trade with someone? Then yeah if I was trading for someone who was rich and didn't need to work then yeah I'd definitely be down for a trade lol. Who wouldn't.

its not uncommon

was like that for a long while

but reevaluated then appreciated more and more

plus I lost a lot of faith recently and after reading a book and thinking about it a lot I have accepted Jesus as who he claimed. I believed in god ever since I was a child then as an adult gave up on him

but he never gives up on those who call for him.

I enjoy life but it has downsides as like what happened in the Bible as well as anything not mentioned in it. Life is hard and a lot we cannot change

you would be surprised by what all we can change tho.

For me that's part of the problem. If this life is all there is and I'm "the universe experiencing itself" for a few decades then I gotta say that's a pretty sorry excuse of an experience. The idea of never being able to escape some struggles is honestly kind of mortifying and anyone who says that wuote like it makes life better needs to check their privilege full stop.

Yeah. I love myself, but I would gladly be someone else if I could.

For a long time, yes. But nowadays? Nah. The last few years have been the most peaceful era of my life.

Life can be pretty shitty. Hell, it's mostly shitty. Look at animals. They're out there in the wild struggling to survive everyday. You could have been a deer that gets ripped apart by wolves and eaten alive, but you became a human instead. Kind of wild if you think about it, right?

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be me
I don't wanna be
me anymore

Don't get me wrong my life is pretty good compared to 99.99% of people who ever lived let alone compared to being a wild animal. Or even some domestic ones.But if my life is as shitty as it is, then people who think this life is so fucking wonderful really need to get off their high horse and actually think about people suffering in ways other than just seeing them as objects to validate their beliefs.

I've been psychologically broken and have hated myself every moment since March 2022.

If it makes you feel any better, take solace in the fact that the entire human race is pretty much screwed at this point and everything is going to hell in a handbasket.

Nope. I actually quite like who I am.

The issue I face is others not liking who I am. Romantically anyway. I have lots of friends and get along well with people unless I try to date them lol. Women want absolutely nothing to do with me romantically lmao.

There's nobody else I'd rather be than myself.

It's why I take care of my body and live with an assured peace of mind.

I have gripes with myself, but I wouldn't want to be anyone else.

I mean, yeah but then I started taking estrogen.

THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

Reality is only what your mind conceives of it. What is truly reality we will never know. Its more convenient to accept who you are and embrace what the world offers.

this place is somethin else man

I think less about things out of my control as often as I did in 2016-2019 period. I was really really really down on myself that time and wanted to.... But I'm over it now. I still feel down most days but mainly only over things I can control which doesn't feel as bad haha. since i can fantasize about improvement

I do get days where I feel so optimistic and energized but too bad I don't put it to good use though :(

I hate the body I have now, though I am happy with my mind...

i think i kinda lucked out a bit vessel-wise, i don't have allergies and appear a lot younger than am in actuality

get this

no wisdom teeth

I had one wisdom tooth erupt like 5 years ago but it came straight in. The other three are either nonexistent or staying in my gums forever. Ill be 32 this year so I think Im in the clear.

Yeah. I used to think I just wanted to be a better version of myself, but I realized a couple of years ago that's not the case. I do think I'd rather just be someone else.
