Hello.

…so I haven’t been posting on the forums as much, and I’M NOT LEAVING, don’t worry, I just wanted to talk. Maybe a bit about why I haven’t been as active. I know a lot of people do this, and in the end, it’s not that big of a deal, but… maybe the reason might help you guys a bit.

Maybe.

So, basically, for the past 3 months or so, I think, I’ve really started thinking about interactions. Just interactions with people, anyone you know. Friends. Acquaintances. Family. Anyone, really. How do they go about? How do they… work? I used to think I did, but I don’t think so anymore.

How about we start at one point. How can we have a truly authentic connection with a person? Is it even possible? I’ve learned that it’s entirely dependent on the person. I looked at what it all really is, and I started to realise that I’m not really that real to anyone, not very truthful. I align myself to scenarios to get certain reactions. In fact, I’ve done that all my life.

And it makes you feel alone.

I may not be alone when it comes to people. There are people all around me, people who ā€œknowā€ me. But they don’t actually, they don’t because I hide parts of myself to make them like me, to make them think I’m cool. Because I’m not really. I’m not as cool as I try to convey. And I do it differently to everyone I know. To some I act jovial and talkative, because I know that’s what they want, what they see me as. To others, I’m quiet and to the side, because they want to be listened to.

I am a shapeshifter. I don’t have a true personality, because it seems completely defined by who I’m talking to. And the worst part is that the lie IS my truth now. I don’t have a truth because all the encounters I have ever had in my life have just been LIES. So I don’t have one. I don’t have a personality. It’s strange. It’s hard to explain, but… if personalities were represented as 1D lines, I feel like a 2D plane. I don’t have a single personality.

So no matter what I say, I’m not speaking as ME. All of me. It’s impossible. I’d have to act as a slice of my 2D plane to match the 1D line personalities we convey in conversation. Maybe you guys are planes too. But I’d never know, because we only express ourselves in dialogue using 1D lines. Even now, even here, this isn’t… this isn’t me talking. Just the part of me I want you to interact with, that I want to hear. It’s like we’re acting out a play.

But anyway… yeah. I just felt like putting that out there. Sorry if it’s intense or something. I hope it gets approved, it’s nothing major.

@ChimbroDaPro, I want you to know that it’s completely okay. You are truly a wonderful person.

I can understand what you’re going through. I’ve experienced a similar experience, of losing who I am. Often, I find myself changing who I am to fit what others expect of me, trying to make those around me feel more understood or valued. While I genuinely appreciate having so many friends and love them dearly, I often carry a hole in my heart which I suppress the pain and act like everything is fine. It’s as if I’ve forgotten how to cry, thinking that showing my emotions are ineffective actions. So instead, I cover my hurt with fake emotions of fake happiness, believing it would hurt less.

I understand now that, in trying to protect myself, I’ve ended up losing parts of who I am. It’s a tough realization, knowing that this choice has been both a refuge and a prison for my mind. It’s like a painkiller that dulls the hurt but doesn’t truly heal the wounds.

Remember, your decisions don’t have to depend on what others think you get to decide who you want to be as you deserve love just like everyone else. You are someone very important to this community, and it’s so important to love yourself for who you truly are. Being you is a gift as is something that you will never truly lose.

But other than that hope you continue making wonderful games as the games you make are truly amazing and are very creative

(Just to let you know i did use partly AI but the experiences I talked about are all true

You know, some times its just good to be your true self. Don’t just put on a masquerade because you want to be a people pleaser. A good way to understand your true self is to just to talk online, like right here in this forum. People won’t be able to judge you, we are all just a bunch of profiles.

I too have a few group of friends, but sometimes I think about how we even got here. I just stare at the screen of a bunch of them in a vc. I didn’t even have much in common with them. But sometimes, you just gotta be your true self. If they don’t really like you if you be your true self, its fine. But usually true friends should not be people who will make a big deal of you if you are not aligned with them.

Another thing you should remember is your parents are there for you. I’m not sure if you’re just a teenager or a working adult, but your parents will always care for you, so just talk to them about your genuine feelings — unless they are trying to kill you or something.

Anyways, good luck with the existential crisis. I know I never really talked to you before but I’ve seen your games like the MakeCode Forums, and it is amazing.

Ngl, everyone has multiple personalities, its your choice to show which one to other people. Also, none of us are as cool as we look, after all everyone is hiding something COUGH COUGH @Agentboom get a rocket and get off me For example: I’m actually not that funny- hold on this isn’t new- But what im saying is that just remember that the people you’re talking to, most likely do the exact same thing, and it’s ok if you want to hide some things from people, you never need to share everything (except for police interrogations, i know you’re smart, you know this.) and i don’t want to put it depressingly but in the sense you’re putting it in, you don’t know anyone either, uh in a way actually, in online form, we can mostly only speak in 1D lines, so really, you can’t know anyone online in the first place, you can only really fully know someone if they are your best friend in real life, or if some 87 year old grandmother named eridith has a fully decked out facebook profile.

But, look my point here is that we will NEVER know who eachother are, everyone has personal things they don’t tell you. But even then, we can try to communicate with eachother as best as we can.
I hope this was useful because its five a.m while writing this and i actually cannot type well to save my life

I view personality as a multi faceted object, it’s complex and ever changing and you never really see every detail of it. You might view it as a fragmented collection of identities but for me they represent parts of a whole connected identity.
