Inauthenticity Fatigue

[@333_Tarot]

People do not listen to what they know, they listen to the unexpected, the creative, the new possibilities. If you try to adapt, you will end up alone, but if you are genuine, they will find you, offer their company, and enjoy together with you what you have to offer. 🌹

I really want to be more authentic. Because I think that sometimes as a people pleaser, I was being fake. I was „nice“, just for people to like me and not because I wanted to genuinely help people out, that don’t really need help and are just using people.

Exactly - you hit the nail on the head there. You got this x

I love this! Been working in an environment where I don't exactly fit in. At first I really tried, and even dimmed my own personality to try to make them like me more. But honestly, it was too draining to be someone I wasn't. I can succeed the way I am, and it's okay to not click with everyone! I am loved by my friends and family, and even then I love myself! I lost myself for a while, but this video helped me back on track and be okay with being who I am! I'm tired of hiding who I am so I can be liked. I hate faking being confident and forcing myself to me liked by everyone. I'll do what feels right to me! I also loved the part where the mask comes off!

Thank you for sharing this! It really is draining to be someone you're not, that's for sure. Yes you can succeed the way you are - AND - your people, the ones who really matter, as well as aligned opportunities will find you the more you honour who you truly are!

I so agree with this about 10 mins short of finishing, but as a mid-late teen this has been something of concerns and it is so nagging n annoying. Its funny because with the whole split of neurodiversity, i myself just came to the conclusion that we are all quite literally operating/acting on masks.

[@sophierasheedcreative]

Indeed, we are multidimensional, complex beings made of many different parts! I feel there's a difference between masks rooted in inauthenticity and these different parts of who we are. Do you feel that too?

[@wild_cub_times]

One tip tho. Keeping your mask down might get other people to put it down too. Rn my authenticity looks like a black metallic pearl. Maybe somehow like a cannonball that want's to hit a lot of stuff and smash trough them... (Edit: oh wth, I cried a bit before so my walls are down, but somehow it's like I can feel this marbel..? Gotta go un-meditate) And to elaborate maybe, I feel like my true self want so radical, so big and unknown things to happen, that I would break every damn thin in my current self. I've been taught to not quit and turn around with decisions. To try try and try to make them work even tho they feel like shit. So I'm tied. Tied down with these chains to this place in life.

[@sophierasheedcreative]

Exactly. I've found that when something isn't right - no matter how convinced my mind is that is 'has to be right' - my heart will keep telling me. I've also found that fear is a normal part of the transformation process. Before the breakthrough, often there is a breakdown. Before there is the butterfly, there is the chrysalis. Shine your dang glorious light. Step by step!
