Either cut yourself or live by yourself

To live by hiding your true self,

Life that is hated by people who do not fit to show their true self,

Which one is easier?

The former seems easy.

I won't be hated

There are no waves

For the time being, human relationships will go well

but instead

Always "not myself"

You will continue to play

That's

Without realizing it

How to live by cutting yourself

What about the latter?

When you show your true self

People who don't fit will leave

A little scary at first

but what remains is

a place where you can be yourself.

People who don't have to overdo it

After all, this is

It's not about which is easier

Which one

Can you take care of yourself?

Just because I showed my true self

Not everyone will hate you.

Rather

· People who like will like more

People who do not fit quietly leave

That's it.

People are

Because it resonates with what you're putting out

If you hide it

Continue to connect with misaligned people

If you take it out

Only the "right person" remains

to reveal your true self

It takes courage, but

it's a choice that makes life easier.

Which one would you choose?

Which one?

... Read more自分らしく生きることは実際のところとても難しい挑戦ですが、それを選ぶことで得られる安心感は何物にも代えがたいものです。私自身も昔は周囲に嫌われたくない一心で、本当の自分を押し殺して生活していました。人間関係は一時的に穏やかでもいつしか疲弊し、自己嫌悪に陥ることが多かったです。 しかし、少しずつ自分をさらけ出していく勇気を持ったことで、意外にも共鳴する人が増え、自然と心地よい人間関係が築けるようになりました。もちろん、それに伴って一部の付き合いは減りましたが、それは必要な整理だったと感じます。 また、自分を偽らずに生きると、自己肯定感が向上し、精神的にも余裕が生まれます。波風を立てない方法も短期的には楽に思えても、その場しのぎのストレスが積み重なり、心身の健康に悪影響を及ぼすケースが多いのです。 結局のところ、「どちらが楽か」ではなく、「どちらが自分を大切にできるか」が生き方の本質だと思います。自分を削り続ける生き方は、長い目で見れば自分を傷つけることに繋がります。今の自分を受け入れ、大切にすることで初めて真の楽さや幸福感を味わえるのです。 このテーマは誰しも共感できる悩みかもしれません。ぜひ自分にとっての「自分を生きる」意味を改めて考えてみてください。そこには勇気と向き合う価値のある新しい人生の扉が待っているはずです。
