Tell Me Something About Yourself Tell me something about yourself. Not a question but seems hard to answer because it will be a way for others to know you partially based on what you say and later on what you do. Hmmm... Who runs here to Google and Youtube when there is a job interview? And copy their spill to get a good impression during the conversation even if the truth is, you're really far from the characteristics you were you're imitating. Rise your left foot! Haha. I am very guilty of this. I often, pretend to have characteristics and traits that I don't really have, well just to be accepted. I just say to myself that sooner or later I will adapt it. I will fake it now till I make it. However, sometimes I want to answer it honestly to reveal my true identity, which I kept for too long just to be liked by others and received good treatment. But if ever there is a chance that I won't be judged after answering it here's what I'll say.

I'm 25 years old and very tired of life. I felt I'm already left behind because look at me I finished with a degree but don't have a stable job. I look pathetic every time I see my friends growing and glowing while I, here, still don't know where I'm going.* *I'm very envious of everyone that wished to be them. Yes, you heard it right! To be them, not to be just to like them but to be in their shoe. I want to be in others' life because I hate the life I was raised in. Wanna exchange? But first, let me background you, check.* *My strengths? Oh, the reason why I only hustle so hard? It's for my bills! My bills! My bills! My unending bills! I'm so tired of thinking about the due date, that I always get scared that we'll be evicted from our apartment. I wanted to experience the feeling of being free from expenses and don't need to worry about tomorrow. If only we own a house. (Sigh)* *About my weakness, I can't say no to those who need my help. I give my all even if there's nothing left of me. I'm willing to be embarrassed by the many just to do their favor, but I didn't do it because I love them. I just don't want to hear anything from them because I didn't grant them their favor. I'm selfless to others but selfish to myself. Did you know? I don't love myself either.* *I'm pretentious about myself which gives pressure on me. What can I do? If I show my true self will all people still accept me? I have a lot of dark sides that I'm keeping and sometimes I want to let it out especially when I am fed up.* **T**his is all I want to say when someone asks me to tell about myself without minding what they will impression on me. I come up with this topic when I read @JulyAnn article, **"How well do you know yourself"**, it hit and questioned me because I almost don't know myself for pretending for a long time. I hope I can get through this because it really causes my self-esteem to be low. I get stressed daily. https://read.cash/@JulyAnn/how-well-do-you-know-yourself-c607ad23 How about you? How well do you know yourself? Can you tell others about the real you without making things up? Thanks for hearing me out today (❁´◡`❁)
