For some reason I've been feeling very cranky this week, maybe I'm a bit under the weather, but I'm trying to hide it to my friends and act like my normal self. This prompts the question of the week.
Is there a difference between how you appear on the outside and how you really are on the inside?


I have to say that I try to hide my insecurities and present a more confident person to the public. but I don't think I'm all that successful at it.
"Is there a difference between how you appear on the outside and how you really are on the inside?"
Good question. I think that's something I've struggled with over the years. I have finally come to the decision to be me, to be open and to not be shy about asking what I want or need, but to be myself wherever I may be. It's not easy and it's a vulnerability in a way, but otherwise, if I have a different "identity" in one situation or with one group of people, another "identify" somewhere else, were is "me?!" Who am I, but fragmented pieces...
Just ruminating... :P

I think there is a difference between being polite

Yea....inside I'm scared and shaky. I've been told that I have confidence and courage. Yea right. If everybody only knew. Only a handful of people know who I really am. The ones that don't know think I'm "Sunny and Summer".....But the close ones know that I'm "Winter and Moon". Honestly, I'm seeing a pdoc for my inner self. I love her and need her but she can get in my way. She can take over my being....not in outwardly destructive way, but inside she can destroy me. If the person on the outside of me would go inside then it would help me. I'm still trying to get the two together and bring me peace.
Thanks for allowing me to share,
