Can't tell what is me and what is the mask. Unsure of who I really am

How do you drop the mask and how do you even identify it in the first place? It's so engrained Disappointed

  • Can I ask why you would want to drop the mask? I know what you mean. my masks are so engrained but I take them of when I am on my own at home - I tic, clap, and flap when no-one can see me :) 

  • I want to drop them because I'm exhausted and I don't necessarily want to interact or be around the people I'm masking for. The people aren't nice. But I do not want to be seen as their enemy because I have to be with them every day at work. I also wonder who the real me is. All the masking has made me wonder who am I beneath all of this
