I Am Not Who They Think I Am

I feel so fake. Everyone thinks I'm living a great life because I refuse to show any flaws or unhappiness. All my friends and acquaintances are full of praise for me and place me on a pedestal.The one thing they have got right is that I...

I just found out that I am employee of the month. They made a point to comment on my "upbeat attitude". Hearing that made me want to laugh and cry at the same time......they have no idea how I really feel inside. I missed my calling, I...

Don't be afraid by my profile on EP. I'm married with a gentle woman. Alas, she don't understand my 'particularity'.
She love me only like a 'man'. My soul is so feminine but 'crashed' in a male envelope. It's the reason why I search...

I think I can finally understand why people cheat. For years I have considered cheating such a despicable and cheap thing to do in ones relationship. I suppose I still do. But, cheap despicable or otherwise, there can still be reasons...

Just spent a few hours chatting with a friend on here, well laughing for most of it, he was on excellent form. One of the subjects discussed was why I get some friends' requests from people who are extremely sexual (well going from...

....someday they'll get it.

everyone once thought i was so happy. everything in my life was great. i never had a struggle. never had to worry. nothing. anything. they either made fun of me or wanted to be my friend, a happy friend. then they came to know me, or...

...but I also count the number of people I really trust on single digits.

It's not that I don't like people, I just like them in small doses.  I don't trust most people at all, though I've gotten quite good at concealing this fact...

Not sure why I'm here on this site...I guess I'm searching for someone who can understand me and actually listen.  A life built on lies is what I have.  I'm a lost soul that is losing myself...I'm drowning each day. ...

I have a secret that i share with only one more person outside of my computer. A secret so dark that it would jepordise all of my friendships. A secret so abnormal and unbelievable that no one would believe it unless they saw it with...

I've written many stories about my struggles with bipolar disorder, hypersexuality, weight battles, obstacles I had to face alone, bad relationships, lies, etc. And I found this group and thought it was a perfect place to write about...

I am not one of them. I must appear to blend into the crowd or something. It appears that I am like them but I am not. I am not the enemy. I just wish people could see that and not hate me because they think they see me with them or...

I recently read something that alternately disturbed, intrigued, and scared me.  To risk sounding egotistical, I'm constantly told that I'm nice.  Isn't it nice how I think of everyone else, only putting myself in the number...

Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder if I even know myself. Some people are clueless; they think they can see into your soul upon first glance. Everyone thinks I'm a calm, caring, kind, intelligent person. I guess you could say...

I’m so broken. It has become so obvious. I’m emotionally destroyed and there's nothing to do except watch me slowly fall apart. Each day it gets worse nothing ever gets better. I’m so alone in this world that it's starting to get...

The mask I take off for few people, two so far.
All the rest of them think I am sweet and quiet.
I express my energy in different ways than most.
My mind never stops.

The outsiders think I am boring, too.
And that I could do no...

i find i really enjoy being here on ep.i have to smile at the reaction to some of my answers. i answer questions according to how i'm feeling that day.  i think that is true for a lot of people on here.  sometimes i am a smart @ss...

So when people meet me they think I won't understand I never had something happen to me but they don't know me I've had heartbreak I've had loss I don't have my mom I take medications to calm me down I hate life I don't smile I hate...

It seems as though people enjoy defining who their peers are...especially high school students! My friends and classmates tell me who I am. This is not right, but what can I do about it? I am merely another student among 3,000 private...

My mask is cracking from being bullied, beaten, and molested but now my mask is cracking more from all the pressure I might have breast cancer or mrsa cyst, my sister might need surgery, and finally my older sister told 3 people about...
