- Will this become permanent over time? I don’t see the point honestly if I’m gonna revert back into my old self.
- Will this make me less socially awkward? Not asking for advice on listening to other “charisma audios” I already have them. Question is: will I actually seem less autistic to ppl or will I just feel “better?”
It’s been months since I’ve checked the YouTube version. To be fair
I still have TONS of ppl say I seem very autistic, and on the spectrum. Like hundreds
The way you described it! Umm… sounds very personal. Like you have been struggling with that as well but found the sunshine after a dark night. Then you embraced the darkness and bid it well.
But the idea “be yourself” is useless for me. All my life, I have been given this advice, be yourself. I was an awkward super smart teen guy in high school. While all the guys were busy enjoying their lives, I was toiling to upgrade my grades. I was intelligent but lacked the basic things. People used to say, I’m “good 'ol boy”, my grades are “envying”, I’m “good-looking but reluctant to throw myself to the girls”
All these pleasing talk didn’t make me feel good even a single bit. Trust me, it doesn’t feel good. It’s empty and feels bland. It’s because it wasn’t the things what I wanted to be. I was unable to find myself on the advice “be yourself”.
When I went to Uni, I was like a fish out of the water. (Going to Uni is not our family tradition, it’s useless according to them). But that’s where I found myself. I found that I love building and progressing. I love helping people and finding the true potential within them. It was possible because guys over there used to shit-talk about me, in front and behind me. That’s where I found my scope of improving and and why the advice “be yourself” didn’t work for me.
Edit: whatever you said, I fully resonate with that. I just found a way to share my opinion and experience with you guys, which I did.

It’s being myself, but not the way people always tell me, to make me feel comfortable!
Btw, is your contact number legit?

Well, being myself when I was plain socially awkward didn’t made me feel good. Being successful with girls and socially adept or helping my fellow community made me feel good.

I feel a grudge or challenge from you. I didn’t have any intention to counter you. I ain’t argumenting. All I did is just shared my experience.

I did, and it took me a while to figure out what “being yourself” mean.

fuuny, you mentioned her. I am a huge fan of The Simpsons.
Yeah, I have been sweettalked onto that for quite a long time of my life. I didn’t see any progress, felt frustrated until I faced the real world and acted accordingly.

You know what I realized now? The advice is great. Plain awesome. For adults!
For kids and teen, this is the worst thing you could ever give. They should be finding themselves instead of being themselves.
