yes and no lol

I want to be fit but McDonald's is next to Smartfit 😢

1mo

Yes. One part of me is a responsible wife, mother, and working woman, while another part still longs for freedom, new experiences, and a life that feels truly my own. I’m learning how to let both sides exist without losing myself.

Always

I identify with Zuko, the answer is obvious.

1mo

Definitely 😂 I think I’m quite independent but still really value reassurance. I can be open but still guarded, and I love a good debate but hate being told what I should think 🤣🤣 so apparently I’m just one big contradiction 😂

1mo

Just one?

1mo

There is always going to be a contradiction at the very core of oneself Weather it be wanting to protect and Help everyone you can Or Cause as much harm and chaos as you can But It all ultimately comes down to what type of person you choose to be.

Only my ego n shadow. Paradox Paradise.

You can only contradict yourself if you haven't made an agreement with yourself. The internal dialogue hasn't formed.

1mo

The question is relative, the answer always depends on the present 😉

I am a walking contradiction: I wasn't supposed to walk, I did. I wasn't supposed to be a bodybuilder/Powerlifter, I was. I wasn't supposed to go to college, be a teacher, writer,artist, father, husband...I wasn't supposed to get a divorce and meet a lovely person in Scotland that changed everything....but I did...all despite circumstances...like Cerebral Palsy 😎❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We all have contradictions between what we think (and feel) we are and how we outwardly express ourselves. Social conventions, upbringing, old wounds, paleocortex 😅, subconscious and unconscious reactions. Don't only those have them who had a friendly gathering with Mr. Freud and Siddhartha Gautama? 🤭

1mo

No

1mo

My existence is a contradiction...

1mo

Not for now

1mo

We have the ability as humans to adapt to groups and social norms, so there will always be a contradiction in who we really are... of course, it shouldn't matter what we show, but the majority is like this these days, not that I’m saying there aren’t exceptions... at the end of the day, though, we know who we really are.

Incredible rage but also incredible love

I want to socialize (with the right people), yet simultaneously have a low social-battery. So I’m either a chatty and laid-back gremlin, or a silent and easily-irritable hermit (which I tend to be when I’m focusing on taking notes/learning or working on projects).

It depends on how it lies.

1mo

Non

1mo

Definitely. I think I’m both independent and someone who deeply values connection. I enjoy having my own space and being able to handle things on my own, but at the same time, I really want to have people I can be vulnerable and completely myself with

1mo

Probably

1mo

I don't think

1mo

I wouldn't say that 😂

1mo

No more than anyone else I expect. Everyone I've ever know contains a lot of different people at different times. Something we all have to live with.

1mo

Wanting everything and nothing all at once

1mo

Yes. There are times when I am polite and tolerant, but there are also times when I close doors hermetically shut to the point that you wonder... and yet you know very well what you have done...

1mo

But I AM a contradiction!

1mo

Maybe

I am a walking contradiction

1mo

Now and then, yes; it's just the personal insecurity that usually settles down quickly again 🙃

1mo

I don't think so
