What's an uncomfortable truth about yourself?

Question

Apulu_Imback · Accepted Answer

There was a time I was totally depressed and suicidal. I didn't said this to anyone. My mom would always scold me for acting all inactive. I always thought of the ways to die. Like suffocating myself in water, eating a whole 2 packets of random medicine, drinking whole bottle of dettol, drinking poison, sliting throat and wrist in late night so there are more possibilities of death. One day I almost suicided by sliting my throat and wrist but when I was about to take the knife I heard footsteps of my dad and went back to bed without making any noise. After a lot of courage I finally said this after whole 5 months of recovering from depression. It took a lot of effort to reveal such a negative thing about me. This was my darkest secret which I kept locked inside me for a year and half. However this hard time was all worth it. After a painful heartbreak the person either have the most beautiful heart or the most heartless one. I was heartless one before and had the same mentality that no one loves you, nothing like love exist, no one cares and all. But then slowly I became to what I'm now. Now I am in my strongest and happiest stage. Yeah I have breakdown now and then but it doesn't takes me long to smile brightly. I have that beautiful and mature heart now and hopefully this will stay forever. This is the most uncomfortable and dark truth about me.

That I am genetically fucked lol.

Maybe that’s not the right way to describe myself, but I come from a fucked up biological family. My genetic predispositions are fucked. Both of my biological parents side have mental illnesses, learning disabilities, addiction, and alcoholism… All of which affected me and not my twin sister.

Sure, I don’t have some genetic disease that makes me look deformed or whatnot, but no one would know that I have all these issues behind just a normal girl. It’s uncomfortable to admit, “hey, I have issues,” but that’s the truth. It’s not necessarily bad, but it’s uncomfortable for me to even bring up to anyone.

Every time I do something serious that involves interacting with people or advancing in life (careers, education, relationships, friendships, etc)… I have to tell them that I have these list of issues that can possibly interfere with whatever I’m doing, or they soon find out as I open up… And it obviously makes people look at me differently.

I am 100% totally cynical about marriage. I mean its totally fine when people want to belief in the values of marriage and get married... but when ever I am asked about it I have to tell them that concept of marriage to me is the stupidest thing, that I have been married and honestly the only to retain 100% protection of the law over your assets, income and property is to never get married, because you can have long lasting and emotionally fulfilling relationships out side of marriage, and by and large that will probably put away ahead of most married people.

I know it sounds terrible to say so some one totally in love with someone else and they almost never listen or take the advice and get married anyway. 50% of those come later be it 2 years or 20 years later and say I might of been right. But still its a very cynical perspective but its my uncomfortable truth.

That, and honestly I do give shit about people in general... I only care about those with whom I love, and that I truly think Trans genders have mental disorders and transitioning is not a cure to the over arching mental health issues... people hate that one.

I find I seem to be oppositely wired to most people in that I'm the happiest, most motivated, and most hard-working when I have the most pressure put on me. Yet I become so lazy when there's no pressure. I don't have much of an inner drive in low-pressure situations.

Oddly that has led to a perception in my workplace that I'm the hardest worker since I work the hardest during crunch when everyone else is most stressed out and exhausted, and that's when higher-ups tend to notice who is working the hardest. Yet I'm lazier than almost everyone else outside those seasons and I actually accumulate more stress when I don't have much to do or pressure to meet deadlines.

muscularbumblebee · Answer

1) I’m not very sensitive to other’s feelings. It’s not that I’m ignorant or do it purposefully, I just have a hard time connecting an emotion to a scenario if that makes sense and tend to disconnect from what someone is saying leading to a possibly unwanted reaction or non at all

2) when I like a hobby or want to achieve something I become so obsessed I tend to ignore everything else in my life and thing about it for hours daily. This sometimes causes issues with friendships etc

I’m working on improving them though slowly by setting mini challenges for myself

WonderBell99 · Answer

I distance myself from people when I get emotionally connected with them. I guess that's a type of defense mechanism? Not sure. I also hide my feelings and do not tell what truly is bothering me so that I would not hurt them.

In the past, I used to be very empathetic and cared about people's feelings. I used to go out of my way to help them.. but now I'm kind of indifferent? I don't know how to put it in words without sounding like a bitch. It's not like I do not care about them, I do, but I'm not as sensitive to their feelings as I used to be

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

I get lost really easily. I am not talking about geographic lost. That I can remember like a computer.

I am talking about career loss. I always need a person as a reference.
Right now I am following a girl on LinkedIn. She is an engineering graduate and is currently working in Microsoft.

I intend on building a resume like her.

normalice · Answer

I don't know what I'm doing. Imposter syndrome is common, I get it, but just because a lot of people experience it doesn't mean it's not true that they don't know what they are doing. Especially when you combine it with those who do think they know what they are doing but clearly don't. I'm afraid our species is a failure in all possible interpretations of the word. Even if I somehow become the most competent human, it means nothing because humans are basically powerless.

DizzyDesii · Answer

I care enough to hear everyone out but I dont care enough to do more than that. Like if you have a problem, tell me. I’ll probably give some advice immediately but after that i can't help ya. I’ve lost interest or just stopped caring or dont really know what else to say

jshm2 · Answer

That I actually give a shit about people.

I sometimes come across as the type who would run over you and your family using your dads car and walk away without a care. But I supposed being raised in a gang you learn to shut down emotions. I actually am the type who would spend money and time to help even a stranger out. Just not on terms they would understand.

worldscolide · Answer

I hate people. I can only really stand to be around my wife and her family. I can't stand most of my own family save for my uncle.

Not even kidding, my wife and I go to Walmart, and by the time we are done I am so mentally exhausted that I want to be alone for the rest of the day. It's art of why we go shopping close to midnight, easier for me to deal with.
