Honestly, I think for me I am caught in between what I truly believe and what is comfortable in a social sense. There are many aspects of my personality I feel are only there to make others like me, but I don't think this is healthy. I think I need to get over the desire to have everyone like me or identify with me, and more so get over the fear of separation. I feel that I've worked so hard to be unified that I've lost myself and now anytime I experience difference or separation with others I experience it as a loss or sacrifice of self.
I feel like I'm supposed to sacrifice my views in favor of yours and not because I genuinely share your view but because I automatically destroy my own in an attempt to be 'united', but more lately my own beliefs have been fighting back and trying to gain their own space and this creates a lot of internal conflict.
