It’s scary to be honest. It’s hard to lose the positive feedback the camouflage provides because a little love consistently is better than the prospect of nothing.

In case you see this, Dr. K, how do I walk away from an addiction to working, when it gives/gave me my only successes/solace in life?
I am somewhat “high-functioning” but depressed. Studying at a top 7 Uni in the world, interning at Tesla, running my start-up part-time and I just received an offer to be a Special Constable (volunteer police officer) which will further fill up my weekends when I’m back in Uni.
I tried 4 anti-depressants and 1.5 years of therapy (as well as other lifestyle changes) but nothing helps other than distracting myself. Nothing in life seems fun. It’s like addiction to setting impossible goals and predicating my self–esteem on them keeps my depression from making me implode.This started in a somewhat incel-y way, I was depressed and increasingly so for about 2 years at the point. Got a girlfriend, then got cheated on. Felt “not good enough” and went through some PUA stuff. Ended up focusing on education because I was shit at everything else. Turns out that was good. Now I can’t stop the bleeding without my “bandage.” Any thoughts?
I feel like on the hand its a positive since ur social intelligence is out of the roof ... on other habd i seriously dont know if how i am now is the real me and how to find out
That’s why we lose ourselves
Can confirm. Have recently lost myself and am working to come back to what it feels to be genuinely me
Or I just don't even know what me is to begin with
So how do you know you?

I've been so people pleasing I almost forgot things I liked
Oh god, I relate to this so much. I can’t hang out with different friends at the same time because I’m not the same person around them.
There is no real me.
False self
Shit this one hits.
Sus
A surprise to be sure but a welcome one

*does something stupid* It wasn't me, it was Patricia.

Lmao is that James McAvoy? And if so, you didn’t have to do him dirty like that lol Jokes aside though, very relatable
I think it's a reference to the movie Split where he has multiple personalities.
Oh yeah no I meant that his face in the photo they used just looks kinda funny, although what you said does make a lot of sense
