i can’t play the game of “who’s real and who’s fake” when i barely even know who i am. it feels weird and hypocritical, even to judge the authenticity of others when i haven’t even figured out my own identity. ppl say things like judgment towards other ppl abt their realness so casually, but how can i call someone fake when i’m still unsure of what being “real” even means for me?
there are days when i'm not entirely sure if i’m looking at a version of myself that i chose or one that was molded by what people expect me to be. am i genuine when i’m smiling around them? am i fake when i stay quiet just to avoid conflict? if i shift the way i talk depending on who i’m with, does that mean i’m pretending or just adapting? these are the kinds of questions that loop in my head when i think about the idea of being "real."
we live in a world obsessed with labels. ppl want to define everything and everyone. you're either real or fake. loyal or disloyal. good or bad. but human beings are way more complicated than that. nobody is a hundred percent real all the time. everyone wears a mask at some point, whether to protect themselves, to survive, or just to fit in for a moment. that doesn’t make them fake. it just makes them human.

The only way you can feel real or be real is to not think about anything, Find out whats preventing you from not being yourself and you can try to block out that fear. Let go of all fears and anxiety and then you will become your true self. And the people that dont accept your true self arent your real friends.

everyone is "fake" because there's not a "real". Humans are MUCH more complex than that; Were a rainbow, more than just one color. For example, i don't text like this all the time. But it's still me, it's still my form of expression.

We all wear masks, we change persona when it is needed.
However this doesn't make anyone "fake" or "real" , people aren't monochrome, they are full of color.
We are all just trying to make the best of our given circumstances, we are human.
right?
very well said

You’re not fake for shifting, adapting, or even staying quiet sometimes. That’s not pretending—that’s navigating a world that doesn’t always make space for softness. I think being real isn’t about being one thing all the time. It’s about trying to be true to yourself, even when you’re unsure who that self fully is yet. And from what you wrote..,you’re doing that, even in your doubt.You’re not alone in these thoughts. A lot of people feel them, but you’re brave enough to put them into words. And that’s powerful. That’s real in a way most people don’t allow themselves to be.So if you’re ever wondering whether you’re ‘real’—just know this: you’re more real than most, simply because you care enough to ask
