Is there a difference between what you show and what you are? Being soft isn't weak, it's strong because we can put our pride aside. We can only be compassionate with others when we are compassionate with ourselves. Never stop learning about what it means to be human. This life is yours. You can be a little more egoistical without feeling guilty about it. Don't make yourself smaller than you are just because you feel like there are people who want to look down on you. Be true to yourself and to your definition of a happy life. Don't make your happiness conditional on other people's opinions. Nobody can hurt you except you allow it. You don't have to feel embarrassed about your existence because you feel different. Whatever you do, it's okay. It's okay to exaggerate or talk nonsense for the fun of it. It's okay to be silly or do weird things. Everybody can do in their life what they want to do as long as it doesn't hurt somebody else. Boundaries are subjective, there is nothing wrong because you are different. Accept your imperfections and don't overthink. Mistakes are a part of life, don't feel guilty but learn from them. Never feel guilty. Shame is poison and it's self-destructive. Don't hide your sensitivity behind your ego. It's natural to feel things.
