>Corporate life has taken over my soul
>Really have no idea who I used to be
>No more hobbies, no more get together with other hobby groups/meetups
>Try to go to my old hobbies I once enjoyed, I just don't care anymore.

In my early teens I always thought that one should never care about what others think. One day while at my boarding school I learn that some people thinks I'm weird. I don't know why but it hit hard.

Four years later I got out of a bad breakup and worked my butt off, going from 108 to 80 kg. But I wasn't happy, cause at the same time I started getting in to Bowie and I realized how ugly I was. Going bald, mildly strong jaw. I just started hating myself. My gf tries her best to explain to me that I am pretty but I can't see it. I don't know how but I went from not caring what people thought when I was a kid, to having suicidel thoughts because I don't feel pretty.

tfw. has a gf

Some of us have never even talked to a girl before
No honest discussion with any females, but
I can always chat with a dude about anything

There is no "you". That is the ego which is an illusion. You contain multitudes.

Yes I forgot who I was. And thank god I did. I was a 110lb meek faggot that was afraid of the word because raised by a single mom.

Now I'm a dude who doesn't afraid of anything. I pretended to be at first, then I notcied that acting that way wasn't all that bad and people responded mostly positively. So I kept it.

That is my greatest fear - that I might become someone I would not currently recognize as myself.

Not to say I don't want to improve on certain aspects, but I do not want my core beliefs out identity to change.

Yea, my friends even told me a few months ago that I am changing, they said man you changed, I laughed they, said they were just joking but obviously that isn't the case as I really did change so much I am unrecognizable mentally as who I used to be. Perhaps life/depression has hit and I am just now seeing what I have missed

I think I can somehow relate.
Throughout my life I have put on a mask in order to fit in or to cope with my deficits, e.g. social anxiety, inferiority complex, the usual imageboard stuff.
But a few years ago I have noticed I don't know who I really am deep down and I also don't know in which direction I want to go with my life. I do not know the difference between the masks I put on and what the real me is.
There is probably not a single person who honestly knows me because all the time I play a role and pretend to be another charcter, sometimes more and sometimes less, but it's never me.

Sometimes I am the nicest person you will ever meet and sometimes I am a twisted fucking psychopath

This image hits me hard right now

I wish I was honest from the beginning

You have no identity.
Your identity changes every fracture of a time interval.
