Anyone else feel the constant need to change there appearance and not know who they are . It feels like I’m never in my own body and everything I do is targeted to my favorite person at the time then it repeats . Life is shitty rn and I just turned 18 and my bf of a year and me are broken up and I am back into reality and I’m so confused with my life it’s like I was placed here like it’s not my life like o haven’t opened my eyes . There’s so much to say Idek

I have had mostly the same style since middle school but I just told my therapist I wasn't sure if I'm non binary or not. I got my Halloween costume and I just wish I could wear a costume every day instead of being myself. I don't really get the part about changing appearance a lot but I do understand not knowing who you are. Also not feeling like you're in your own body is something I have experienced my whole life too. I'm sorry you just broke up with your boyfriend and I'm not sure the reasoning for that but it might be more important to focus on figuring out who you want to be. I heard somewhere that you determine what you want to be and that's why so many people feel so lost because they're trying to find who they think they already are. Sorry for the long reply lol I just related to this one heavily

I totally feel you on this, life is kinda better than it was before but I feel so detached from life and my own body. supposedly I lost a big amount of weight and it was clearly in an unhealthy way, however it doesn't feel like it. I love fashion and I'm very indecisive (maybe I'm doing it subconsciously to appease people idk) but I've been going back between grunge, cyber streetwear, and very girly. I know obviously I can dress how ever I want, but I would for once just choose something and keep it that way. I genuinely don't know what I look like, probably some sort of body dysmorphia from the constant weight change and appearance, however I also in general just don't feel like myself. I feel like im forgetting this about my past. I describe it as a phone saying that storage is almost full so I have to delete files to make space for more... idk what to do :'(
I feel the whole changing appearance thing. I dress grunge and boho right now but it's totally different from how I used to dress so my family is like "this is you now?" I feel like I'm always trying to decode who i am
@depressedunicorn do you feel like breaking down and feel soft when you look in the mirror and realize it’s a mask

@Mmmomg kinda like when I really look at myself sometimes I'm like what am I doing is this really me? It sorta feels like you said like a mask but also it feels like part of me that's been missing
Sending love and hugs your way ❤ I can relate to feeling the need to change your appearance often. I have had many haircuts and colors over the past couple of years, as well as weight changes, etc.
