original or fake?

I've always been a lonely teen. Usually people would think that as a teen you'd be in the *making friends and be open* phase.
I was living in a very different  reality.

I hated human contact even though I wouldn't express it as much as I do it now (I truly hate it), I would always dodge a unasked hug or shoulder tapping. Many would view me as a stupid and going through a phase person, but what I wanted them to realize was that not everybody was meant to be a skinship loving person, in other words an like everybody else person.

Being in the discovery phase I had to deal with being confronted by others because of the choices that I would make for myself. I wanted people to be able to understand me as how I was, not as just another 16 year old.
Of course it was hard to do so the only solution that I ended up finding for myself was to disguise my true feelings.

And that was one of the most idiotic ideas I've ever had (alongside with others that shall remain in the unknown).

You see now I wasn't just the happy Shemara I knew.
I was a double Shemara.
1st me: was the (fake) happy trying to blend in with others by having the same likes me
2nd me: was the IDGAF about you I just wanna be alone me.   

Honestly what I want to say is that you don't have to let what other people think is what you should be define yourself. If you have a certain like or dislike make sure people know about it. Don't life a fake double life, but always seek a one original life. It will be the only way you can find true happiness
