I'm going through something similar

70% percent of our mental day is spent on the feeling side of who we are. Gotta let dat shit out. Not to mention that with how guarded and fearful many dudes are these days, I think women really appreciate rawness and men who are somewhat open. With maybe just a hint of mystery ;)

I tell people on the internet this ALL the time. I try to explain to them that being your true self is so rewarding. Caring what others think is silly. Real friends will love you for who you are. "those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"

I wish more people would have the experiences you've had.

Regarding the emotional conversations. I'm a person who people often confide in, so it's interesting to see the other side. People often tell me what things are going wrong in their life, and I can usually give advice and words of encouragement. I always loved helping people, but I never connected it to the fact that maybe I was helping them with self-esteem and confidence as well. Great post.

Could we get some examples of when sedditers have talked about how they feel?

Disagree with "being yourself". If you aren't happy with yourself, and not happy with who you are, CHANGE YOURSELF. You can be "TRUE" to yourself, but you do not have to be who you are today if you don't want to.
