Where do I find Authenticity?

People pick and choose their personality now days, when all we crave is authentic connections with others. We will get a temporary high from achieving all of these likes on facebook, instagram, tumblr, twitter or youtube. You feel validated, special and appreciated. But then when you slowly move back toward reality, you are hit with the realisation that you are still alone. None of these people value your mind, your thoughts or your creativity. No one values your identity, they simply value your image. Now that I am leaving my image behind and living solely through my true self, I'm feeling very alone. Because everybody else is still consumed by their artificial relationships with those invisible thumbs ups. I am yearning for a real conversation: but nobody thinks it is cool to discuss emotions. Too real, not enough fakeness, not enough plastic, too natural. Too organic. Does anyone else just want somebody who will stay up with them from 11pm to 3am, discussing the existence of ghosts or aliens, talking about how you have grown and how you still want to grow, how you bot h want to achieve particular goals, talk about relationships with people, your desire to be a change in a world that is all about fitting in, etc. etc.

Hello and good time of the day to whomever is reading this. First, I'd like to say that I'm really sorry for everybody going through this experience. We have all been conditioned to expect more from the world for what it really is. I imagine it has to be painful to face this kind of dissapointment. When I was going through a similar kind of experience, what helped me were my books and my music. And I realized one significant thing. We often find our inner selves at odds with what would be considered socially acceptable. You should find peace with what you are and what you like, and try to follow what you want. You will find that doing so can possibly be much more complicated to do so then for me to tell you to do so, but trust me, I've been there. And by followingwhat you really want, you will gain the possibility to connect with like minded people. There is much more sincerity between people who share same interests. I hope that this could become a starting point to find this authenticity we all crave :)

This is to the tee. It really sucks to go out into the world and feel like you can't communicate in it because everyone has their phone in their face. But are the people who are engrossed in an idealistic image of themselves really the ones you want to connect with in the first place? If someone doesn't know who they truly are, how are they meant to know who they're supposed to be for you/in your life? You can't build trust on such a shaky foundation. We'll all wake up eventually. Much love to you, we all deserve someone who can relate to us. Not only because of our circumstances, but because of our internal differences.

Hey @Megangilmer, I completely relate to this. sometimes I feel so weird wanting to talk about these topics when ppl around me all seem so caught up with other things like Zara, H&M, hot guys, makeup, selfies, gossip, 9-5 jobs, uni, Starbucks & the new seasons of GOT. It's all so mundane, lifeless & uninspiring to me. I love talking about weird ass shit.....or what ppl have labeled weird ass these days... but that always gets me strange looks. I love getting right into things that ppl only talk about after they know each other. I wish ppl were comfortable with awkward silences starring into the distance. When it comes to emotions....y r ppl so afraid of discussing it? y does it hv to be so taboo & ...apparently creepy to talk about them? I've never had a discussion about emotions or how I've REALLY been with anyone except maybe my bf & a paid therapist/counselor. My biggest wish r n is that ppl would be much less judgmental so it would make it so much easier everyone (including me) to be completely authentic to what they are.
