"I worry that my intentions get lost in translation, that my silences are mistaken for indifference or my nervous laughter for carelessness." Couldn't have worded it better
I've been thinking that what bothers me the most about being perceived is the assumptions they can make about me. But I want a life, I want to be free, and people will always have their own opinions. I can't control or change that. For now, I won't let that fear stop me from living and experiencing my life the way I'm supposed to.
i think what i fear about being perceived the most is intimacy. some days i know exactly who i am and want to be but other days, i feel hollow and fragmented. naked, even.
Thank you for your insight. This too is a fear that I've had for a long time and is dragging me further from my aspirations and closer to misery. Being able to read it from your perspective and relate to it as it explains the aspects I've been avoiding deep down, has been quite helpful.
I love this so much!! Related to basically the whole entire post. When I was 13 this used to really do my head in how no definite version of you exists because everyone else perceives you differently, so who they *think* you are is all illusionary. I think the problem comes from forgetting that we are not two dimensional people but rather souls always changing and moving at different frequencies!! And its hard to pin down a label on someone when it simply just does not work
I love this. Sometimes it’s like I need to decrease my thinking about how I will be perceived by others and just exist in my own way, to just flow without thinking as hard. I’m better than I used to be but there is more to go.
