Feeling fake

[Jake.123]

I often feel that people dont see the real me. Im a dreadful person and if only they knew, the people around me would pretend they dont know me. Its why i push people away cuz they would do the same if they knew what i was really like. Anyone else like this?

We are our harshest critics. There is truth to that sentiment.

I feel this way ove often. Like if someone likes me i must have done a great job at faking being a unbroken person. It's probably not true but the thought lingers. I get it.

These past few months I've tried to "pretend" that everything is ok, but in reality it just fucking sucks. Friends don't see my pain, and my few family members say that they do, but don't care. It's like this, I can pretend everything is ok, and yet people will always believe me until it's too late.

Many people are hurt because of me though i did it intentionally or unintentionally. but i can do nothing.
idk i was always at the receiving end of everything.. thinking from my perspective and also about how others would feel..
i have no control over anything. idk if i could have stopped any of this..
but i know if others spend more time with me, they would only get hurt.

I do know this feeling brother, and I am sorry that it is causing you to hurt
It is okay not to be okay.
I agree with the other post that says we can be our own worst critics.
Maybe you have done some bad things, but you've probably done some good things too.
I know this is a horrible place to be friend and I hope you can find some light.
