A few years back, I felt like I was the person I wanted to be. I was happy, free-spirited, and inspired (despite being single). The happiness that settled in on me, eventually showed on the surface of my being, and it was really great. That was when I was a senior in High School. Then College came, I arrived to a new environment. I had to go through drastic changes that eluded me of the person I am that I opted to define publicly through my performance--in school, in academics, and in my friendship circle. Then my insecurities started to emerge inside out, and I winded up becoming socially toxic, and an unhappy individual. In a snap, I felt like I lost my sense of identity. I became a workaholic to keep my head off my insecurities, and things worsened. I became too busy to even take care of myself (which added weight on my burden), and now I'm not even sure how to do it. As far as I can remember, when I had that sense of security, I was a bit more confident and warm towards other people. now, how else will i obtain that sense of security other than demanding it from other people? isn't it through self-preservation? **When you take care of yourself, what are the things do you usually have in mind in order to implement the idea?** ladies and gentlemen, please be nice.

Some people base their identity unknowingly on the people they're with. They feel they have to adapt to the environment to be accepted. I'm not one of those people. If they don't like me it's fine with me. I don't like them either.
