Does anyone else ever feel kind of like they DO have a sense of who they are, just only when they're not around people? Sometimes it feels like I absolutely know who I am, but just not around or in relation to other people. Almost like, if I could just 100% avoid people (which obviously I wouldn't really want to do), I'd have a very strong self of self, but it just falls apart when I'm around people.


Also, I've realized lately that it seems like the only way I know to relate to others is by people pleasing. It's like I basically shrink away in any situation around people, and just respond to them with whatever I think sounds nice or whatever I think they'd like.
The things I say are always a reaction, not actually my own thoughts/me being myself or having any control over an interaction or relationship, if that makes sense?
