I think I'm having an identity crisis. I've had numerous identities online and off, but while I have morals and whatnot, I feel like I'm just acting or conforming to whatever environment I find myself in. Code switching personalities while I'm with different people is a common thing, but I don't know which one is the real me.

I think most level headed people do that. It is a survival instinct to conform, zaryan.

Depends on the situation. It's stupid to act out where people could have the power to fuck you over, but if it's important for you to stay consistent in the various environments you find yourself in I kneel. The rule of thumb is to say what comes more natural and see if the idea holds up on its own of if it's a byproduct of the environment you're in

I am the exact way. one time I was alone and forced myself to make friends, I turned myself into the opposite person I am to confirm with normies.

I think one of the problems that's causing this is that I'm emotionally distant. I'm kind of in this limbo area between antisocial and social, I can interact with people fine, and I'm a lot less awkward than in my youth. But it's like I can't physically hold a long-term relationship with ANYONE. The only person I'm close with is my brother, everyone else, even my own mother, is distant despite daily interaction.

Don't worry Zaryan I literally go months without talking to an actual human being minus the essentials I need to live like buying stuff etc. eventually you settle into it and forget you even needed it, some people here don't even have a brother to do that with

Thank you for your words, I hope I can find a path to follow that I'm pleased with. I can't tell as I'm writing this wether or not I'm just an idiot confused by his own mind or an eccentric who's overthinking everything.
Just now I went through multiple rewrites of this one reply, I can't even fucking tell if the way I write and structure these posts if I'm being performative or not.
