People like to say "Just be yourself", "Be real", or "You can be totally transparent with me", but 99% of the time, this is total bullshit
Here's why:
To be one's True Self is to allow yourself to be unfiltered, wild, unpredictable, offensive, inappropriate, messy, impulsive, horny, volatile, emotional, sensitive, depressed, angry, dangerous, pensive, aloof, needy, and more, often all at the same time
The fact is that most people can't handle that kind of authentically dynamic intensity
Most people have had very sheltered lives and haven't had the kind of soul-shattering journey it takes to UNDERSTAND (not just "know" through book knowledge) how to become re-integrated and maintain the fire in your soul, much less help others in this process
They just want you to be unguarded enough for them to feel safe, but not so free that it feels unpredictable and out of their control
However, there are rare types who can hold safe space for this storm
These are people who have had severely traumatic childhoods, were emotionally pulverized by life, were reborn in the ashes, and have done immense amounts of healing work to become whole again
These people are experts at holding space and empathizing with the messy insanity that gets unleashed, providing you with valuable love & resources, meeting you on the level you need to become integrated in to your own wholeness
If you find yourself needing one of these rare people, rest assured we are out there. You are not alone. We were once as you feel now, and we love you
Through the courage to confront your own healing, you have the potential to be a rare, integrated, and amazing gift to the world
Keep going
Don't suppress yourself to make others feel comfortable
Just reach out and find the right people to connect with.
