What I'd be like if I wasn't masking - a mess of contradictions

Got to the point, particularly at work, where I don't know what's masking and what's me any more. I'm just trying to survive at work without a complete mental breakdown

I feel like I'm a mess of contradictions so I don't fit into anyone's box, even on here sometimes

I'm quiet and sensitive and I like nature and talking to ducks and wildlife. I like cuddly animals and collect hundreds, they're like friends to me. I love writing stories, and reading 

I'm also really sporty and love being around sporty, blokey guys and bantering about football and other stuff 

I feel like whoever I'm with I can only show one side of me and have to hide the other side, it's very confusing 

I'm feeling very low at the moment

    Thank you for sharing with us.. I can relate to sharing one side with someone and not being able to share all sides with one person. To some extent, I think that's normal that people have certain things in common and not all things, but when it turns into masking then isn't a good sign. I can also relate to the contradictions. It's not easy to figure the self out specially when the mask becomes part of us .. good luck! .. I hope you'll get better soon
