I have asked this question a million times to most of the people I have met, even they probably haven’t heard it as I didn’t have it in me to ask it out loud. It was the fear that no one would understand me or even worse the fear that everyone would hate me if they know me that kept asking this question, I guess…
It is the reason why I am scared to be myself in front of everyone. I am terrified of the judgemental stares. The heights of Social Anxiety disorder that I have managed to hide well from others, coz I really don’t wanna be judged…
And thus began my life as the human chameleon… Everyone who met me thinks they know me, they believe we have the same wavelength of thinking… But in fact, it is me who adapting your wavelength of thinking, it is me trying hard to fit into the social stigma around me… And after years of special training to be a chameleon now I
lost my true identity. I have become a fusion of all those I have met.
Now who am I?? I am you; I am every one of you…
At some point of our life we all ask “Do you know me” to someone. Mostly it is because we want a confirmation that someone in this world to know us and to understands us. No matter how much we pretend that we are different and difficult to be understood we all just want someone to know us at the end of the day.
And thus we all turn into someone else without even realising the transition we are going through... Losing our true identity… Becoming a Human Chameleon…
And the day you start to believe in yourself is the day you can truly liberate yourself from such fears… And believing doesn’t comes easy as all this while all we did was to doubt yourself and looking for other’ approval. And the moment we try to be ourselves, all our loved ones turns around us.. As they don’t recognise us anymore… The truth is we don’t recognise us anymore…
And after a life crisis of lost identity and search for the soul and passion finally we define ourselves… Most of the time, this happens in your late stage of life, called as Midlife crisis by many… But if you are lucky enough you would have recognised yourself by now….
