I´m completely fake. I´m not talking about plastic surgery or fake documents, I´m talking about my personality.

You see, I have this idea in my head about who I should be, and the worst thing is that it´s constantly changing. This “idea” that I have affects every decision I can´t even think properly without trying to be this person, even if I know that nobody except me can hear my thoughts. If I want to be a social butterfly I make sure that my voice is loud and clear, I laugh and smile all the time and even the clothes I wear are different. I come up with stories to suit my persona and fake my emotions and reactions to match what the person I want to be would do. Well, I don´t exactly fake my emotions but rather make sure to feel them, if that makes sense (it probably doesn´t).

If I, all of a sudden, want to be a misunderstood lonewolf the next day, I make sure (conciously or unconciously) to think the thoughts that a lonely person would think and change my character completely. For example, when talking to another person, I think to myself about rather wanting to go home.

And I don´t even do all of this faking for the sake of the attention/approval of other people! I wish it was that easy (at least it would give me a reason for my behaviour).

I don´t even think I know what my real personality is. The only personality traits I´m sure that I have are “ambitious and perfectionist”. The rest changes based on my personality.
These traits probably stayed in my personality for all this time because my goals are a major part of my life. I would even go as far as to say that the meaning of my life is to become successful. Although, maybe my so called “traits” aren´t even personality traits. Maybe they are just desires. I mean who doesn´t want to become perfect and successful? Forget it, they probably are

I think that this little “behaviour” probably has to do with me being overly perfectionistic and ambitious about myself, but many people are and they aren´t as weird as me! I´ve met people far more detail oriented, organised and hardworking than me, but their perfectionism doesn´t lead to them becoming hypocrites!

After going through a whole bunch of psychology I can confirm that I don´t have any personality disorder, mental illness or phobia of any kind that makes me do what I do. At least not any of those that already exist.

I guess my solution for finding a personality I can stick with will be analysing the most desirable traits that people want in friends. I alredy know that the traits empathetic, honest and comforting (or at least the impression of them) can get you far in a relationship, as I´ve researched a lot about why psychopaths are so charming and trustworthy. I will also make a list of traits i myself want to posess, like hardworking, observing,

My art therapist/group therapist and I were having an illegal affair. I would write secret messages to her and she would read them and respond to them in person. She would do favors i asked of her, like wearing outfits i asked her to wear, she’d even do me s***** favors. I made her a google drive full of p*** of me and then crafted a puzzle link to get to it that only she could have known. The link was a tinyurl with three phrases in the url that only she could have known. We would walk for an hour every day and swing at the park. I would write her poetry and play love songs for her every day. She broke the rules to play mario kart with me constantly when her boss was out. We had something magical. But she would never communicate directly with me because sge was afraid she’d lose her liscence to practice and her boyfriend and house, abd when I pushed her to unmask and be real, she told me I was wasting my time. Well that pissed me off and I crashed out a little abd she used that crash out to get me kicked out of my group therapy program. She wants out and I told her she’s not allowed to want out. I told her If she doesn’t reach out to me and continue this affair, that i will report her and get her liscence taken away and if that doesn’t work ill find some other way to ruin her life. You dont go from gooning in the bathroom at work to someone to throwing them away in the same week. Thats fucked. I’ll post her name here soon if she stays quiet and doesn’t reach out to me.
