2: 29 When I was younger, my family was big and weird, and we had a family of cousins to share under one roof, my grandparents helped by housing all of us, parents included, my father was violent and very problematic, he once brought a gang of people to the front of our house and the police had to get involved.
I dont know why, but at some point, I thought it was best to adopt the Weird and annoying personality, as a way to deflect the problems of the family, or perhaps, it was a coping mechanism to tell my parents and grandparents, Hey! This one is extra weird, but good weird! Hes okay, and getting straight As.
Drama was a constant filter in my life, and it didnt help being an introvert plus having a more adult-ish attitude; never got in trouble, was responsible for my age, and helped out the teachers and students, I basically had zero interest in the common things people have in school and as such, socially distant from conversation, I only talked a lot with my family, as even back then, the only real thing I valued was that: Family.
This came back to bite me though as, one, my family told me good job with the grades thing, but thats it, theyd bring it up not often, so my grades never really meant anything to me, two, I didnt have that many likes or dislikes, I was a child, so I didnt think much at all, so I just played and acted like one, so those two together made me focus on the only thing that existed in my life: my family and its problems, reflecting in my attitude of the Annoying and weird older brother.
I dont know what I am outside of my family, I dont even know if I can exist outside of my family, as they are the only reason I find a reason to be alive in the first place, I find no other reason to be alive in the first place, no one chooses to exist when they are born, after all

i've been struggling with knowing my real self. i tend to act differently w each ppl, and adapt to ppl's personality naturally and got me questioning myself, which one actually am i? w my relatives, i dont rlly have good relationship w them. we have some fam issues. i am the one who w anger issues, dont rlly talk, cold hearted and always alone. i tend to get angry easily but actually right after we argued, i'd cry silently alone. but none of my family has seen me cried. meanwhile w my friends, im actually the most patience one. never have i ever raise my voice, which surprising to me cus even when they do things i hate, i manage to stay calm. and it got me questioning myself, am i pretending w my friends? or i js dont have good relationships w my family? which one am i? i'm also tend to adapt to the situation. if my friends were the loud one, i would naturally be them. js like them. if my friends have issues w themselves, i tend to be the comforter one which tbh sometimes exhausting for me. whenever i need time for myself, i have to comfort them bc they need me more than i need myself. and frustating cus when i need someone, i dont rlly ask comfort for them cus they have issues themselves and all of these making me drained. i kept asking myself, am i js pretending for other ppl? and all these signs shown in the vudeo, i rlly can relate to it.

Hey
When you realized that you were looking for everything else and never looking at yourself, and all that effort, you'd still feel empty, because you were not being honest with yourself, and its too hard to know what is your truth now. not gonna give up because, afterall. it is me.

What actually makes me unique is that I take a little bit from everybody and add it to my personality and make my own mix of it all. People are there experiences throughout life

So a couple months ago my grandpa died, and my entire childhood reminded me of him, so I've been taking on a new personality. This is unsettling how perfect the timing was.

I like taking power from others. It's much more sustainable than hunting and eating humans and far more awe-inducing than just taking twenty minutes to wash my hands.
