7 Telltale Sign You Aren't Being Your True Self 

This morning, we also did a video on why you could be feeling tired all the time. Let us know if you've saw it.

Summary ❤️ 1. You tend to copy others 2. You are a people pleaser 3. You let yourself be defined by how others see you 4. You attract drama into your life 5. You give your power to someone else 6. You procrastinate 7. You justify your actions

If your watching this, Do not lose hope for yourself.

I cannnot stress enough how right the timing of this video is

me before watching: nah i’m totally not lying to myself after: 👁👄👁

"Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love." -F. Dostoevsky

*has homework "i'll do it tommorow!" *doesn't do it "i'll do it tommorow."

So, it is declared. You guys are stalking me ;-;

I’m trying to love my body and looks more cause it’s important. If you’re feeling bad about your appearance, just know everything will be okay and that I love you no matter what you look like. I hope you have a wonderful day, even if only 1 person sees this! Take care and remember to stay hydrated 💕

Honestly each video make me want be a psychologist so bad!! Love the content!

these videos honestly help me understand what im feeling so im happy when i watch these vids😊

Gonna be honest: I teared up watching this video... I related to this in every way & never even knew it. 1. *You tend to copy others:* Not necessarily this, but my own version of other's projects while trying to find my own originality. 2. *You're a people pleaser:* I hate disappointing people, so I know this all-too-well, even to my own detriment, especially in terms of my health. 3. *You let yourself be defined what others think of you:* I try not to, but 2018 taught me a lot about what others truly thought about me, which is why I've become so defensive. 4. *You attract drama into your life:* I do videos on auto racing... That's a given sadly. 5. *You give your power to someone else:* ... My ex-boyfriend, who's still my roommate & whom I still care for very much... but lately I found out he thinks I'm clingy... even after our mutual split & him now dating someone else... 6. *You procrastinate:* I had always thought of procrastination as a fancy term for laziness. I never thought of it as putting things off due to being hesitant. That does define me because I do fear failing & disappointing other people... Guess that explains my so-called clinginess. 7. *You justify your actions:* Not just your actions but your thoughts & how you feel about things. Recently my comments reactions videos were chastised for me having to justify my thoughts & how I feel about things... Also recently I made the bed for my roommate & I, putting everything on it & I had to justify it as a way to conserve body heat because it was cold the previous night. The thing is... if I haven't been true to myself, then who have I been?...

These are hitting home for me, lately I feel like my entire personality has been a sort of autopilot-cover up from my actual personality and that I'm very misunderstood and don't even like myself. It's all kind of pitted on wanting a significant other, but never having one. I'm aware this makes it so that I'm not exactly ready for a relationship, but I've been super dragged down and stressed, and I can't stop thinking about the people I'm in love with (one of them is 2D, lmao) but like this stuff sucks

Anyone who is here is wondering that about themselves

The procrastination one hit me like a truck.

me: Im happy and fine my brain: no you’re lying to yourself

This video suddenly pops-out in my home 2 years later and these points hit home. Thank you psych2go for reminding me at the right time.

1. You tend to copy others 2. You're a people pleaser 3. You let yourself be defined by how others see you 4. You attract drama into your life 5. You give your power to someone else 6. You procrastinate 7. You justify your actions

You are lying to yourself... • I can totally relate. We really need to learn to care about ourselves first before anyone else. How can you make someone else happy when you are bleeding inside.

I spent 9 years being a people pleaser for someone I really thought cared about me.... over the 2020 lockdown I had time to reflect and realise the truth... that they didn’t care a damn about me. As I worked through it (6 months of daily self reflection and counting) I realised how crazy I was and felt so stupid for all the things I did. Ironically, in many ways, as I improve my mental health, my life has got worse because all the little lies I told myself or excuses I made for others behaviors towards me that I excused are all now visible as total nonsense and thus the full sadness that actually no-one that I know actually cares is really hurting. On the plus side, knowing that means I can move on from them and work to improve myself without their negative drag.

4:36 OMG THE ANIMATION HERE IS SO CUTE

its so easy to say: put yourself first, do more for yourself but too hard to do, when you feel that lonelines is about to absorb you any second. then anything i do for myself loses any postitive effect, i just struggle trying "to fulfill my own needs"

1. tend copy others, I mostly copy because I'm like other people, I have a broad and VERY extensive interests. 2. People pleaser, I know my limits and I know how to put myself over others when need be. 3. How others see me is important but it's not THAT important. I care what they say but I am me and nothing can change that. 4. Attracting Drama, unfortunately I live around them so kind of difficult to get away, but when I do, I don't. Though I do resolve them, I find it fun at times. 5. Give power to others, I give power to those I trust (trusted) because I am unsure or I want them to have little power. 6. Procastinate, I have a fear of failing myself.

What actually makes me unique is that I take a little bit from everybody and add it to my personality and make my own mix of it all. People are there experiences throughout life

Greatest advice someone told me don't be a follower be a leader. There is so much power in those words

The Beauty of Freedom is Immeasurable The Satisfaction of Dignity is Divine You Do Not Need to be Someone You Are Not JUST you are FINE The world Needs You Because There is Only One You And Only You Can Be You, Like You Do LOVE from Cappadocia!

i only related to half of these yet you made me cry when u told me that I'm a priority, and the decisions I make are the ones that make me safest and happiest. thank you for this!

I'd really like more videos like this, simple, caring, sharing some advice. I loved this one!

I relate to most of them. I think it's time to start taking care of myself and begin to listen to my own voice. Thank you. ♡

I can’t tell you how much I’m thankful for this video!

Ideas for videos: 7 signs that you have depression 7 signs that your friends are distancing away from you 7 signs that you are an introvert 7 signs that you are being toxic

These videos are of great health to me because it makes me feel that I am not alone and there are solution to my problems Thank you psych2go. You are really doing an amazing job making these videos❤️

These videos are so informative and so relaxing, I had no idea I was lying to myself!

been working to break some of these traits. have reduced some of my people pleasing and working on my procrastinating as well. gonna work on not giving up my power to others tomorrow when I talk to my friend in the morning. been working on increasing my productivity as well heavily,... gotta work out those "get stuff done" muscles in the brain.

Amanda your voice is so addictive and calming.

I thought this was just me, finally started learning about 2 years ago and it’s helped a lot. Thank you for truly great information!

Out of all the videos, this is the one I probably needed to hear the most.

Each day i go though sone terrible situation mkaing me feel lots of terribke things...to tackle those u guys upload videos at such good ocasion. Cant thank you much for that.

Thank you so much for make this video!!

Watching these videos really make me question my mental health

I always feel like tearing up after watching your videos becuz i realized how much i can relate to them ♡

I guess I’m lying to myself

Your voice is so calming, these videos have helped me so much! 💖

You made psychology interesting and easy to access,you are doing a great job

Well number 5, looking back where I gave my power away and working on taking it back.

i am so upset that i relate to a lot of your videos but thank you for all the love and support

This video helped to confirm what I have concluded about myself, I want to change but I have been like this for so long its hard to know where to start putting things right.

I love the wholesome animation! It's also really helpful

I don't relate to this but my former friend does, he would copy me on my ideas, names and even possibly my outfit. Also, he denies everything I say so he wouldn't be embarrassed by the aftermath. He does manipulate people to get on his side like my friends to use it against me. If I would give him important advice like reflectance or morals but he would just ignore it. When I ask him to stop copying me. He would just agree and ignore it afterwards. While I was trying to solve the problem with his sister, he would lie about how he forgot to ask me when it happened 7 times already. He even plagiarize his community into thinking it was his idea when it was originally from me. I wish I never became friends with him.

Thank you for all the videos you make. You have made me see what I can do to improve myself into a better life. Like this vid for example, I can relate to most of these like I have a hard time saying no and I like to please people I don'tlike letting people down. And I am scared of what people think of me if I say no. I do not want them to think I am a bad friend or family member.Your videos are really inspiring me to make small changes in what I do without completely changing who i am. Again, I say thank you. 😁

Thanks for this vid!

Oh God, this video is a blessing for me. Thank you very much, this absolutely helped me to figure it out what is hapening right now in my daily life.❤

There's always something that I don't consider when taking action, and bit by bit, those unconsidered things ache at me. So it's hard to make my own decisions sometimes

Thank you for giving me this information this will help me a lot

Thank you. This is the hat I needed

I'm wanna to say a big thank you for the video, i'm literally crying now because of the content and also the music, i want to hear the full music but don't know the title of the music itself 😭😭

I love psych2go so much! You will never know how much I really needed this video. Thank you❤

every time y’all post i’m feeling some type of way. and it’s usually the way that’s described in the video 😬

Wow. Such an eye opener

So far I have learned that I hate myself, im depressed, I suppress my emotions and now I know I'm not my true self. Let hunt for some more video's !

I just say thank you... Sometimes isn't easy to remember when we are doing something for yourself... Sometimes it's hard to take a own choice when you care about what are thinking other person (specially when they are from family) but self is always first. 😊

Number 3 made my tears come out I learned that everyone has different versions of you and I know what they see me as

So good!!!

Good video. It give you a lot to think about. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely cartoons! 🥰 The happy ending of the video is very pleasant 😌 & the friendly drawings, too! 👌🤩

Most of these are something that I can't resonate with anymore, but there is procrastination. I finally got my passport to following my dreams and I'm happy about that. Thanks for having me check myself!!

Thank you pschyc2go .....it is always a coincidence tht whtever emotional stress i feel at the point of time you will always launch a video in which u mention the answer of my stress....wht a coincidence

made me teary-eyed

The sad part to me about this video is I need to hear it 14 years ago. I've never done what I've wanted to do because I always looked for validation. When I was a kid, my teachers would ask me what I wanted to do when I grew up. I would say things like "I want to be a radio host" or "I want to be a video game tester" and they would say like "Oh, I wouldn't do that, they don't make enough money" or "You can't earn a living playing video games" ( boy were they wrong about that second one ). So I kept finding things and saying them until one day they said "That's great! You'll earn a lot of money that way". And that's how I've been living my life. I did the things that other approved of, mostly because of money. I don't hate the work I do, but I find it boring, it is not something I'm super passionate about, and I wish I could do something else. Now I have student loan debt, and a lot of it. So to me, dropping everything and doing something else seems impossible, which leaves me stuck here. Is it miserable? No. Do I wish I knew who I was and what I truly wanted. Moral of the story, don't blame yourself if you ended up chasing someone else's idea. It won't hurt you, but you will feel this itch, a burning itch that you haven't scratched and won't scratch until you chase it. Or, everything will itch, and you won't know what to scratch. Whatever you do, there is no failing. When Yoda says "Do or do not, there is no try", the "do not" part is okay, that's the typical "I failed doing" but you didn't fail, you just didn't accomplish the task yet, and that's okay!

This video, sum up my life. I always been a people pleasure because I’m always lonely & wanted friends to accept me for my flaws. Sometimes, I just wanna give up.

So a couple months ago my grandpa died, and my entire childhood reminded me of him, so I've been taking on a new personality. This is unsettling how perfect the timing was.

This is so me, except for the copying others stuff. I dont really copy them I just want to fit it so I adapt some of their personalities or words that they say. Gosh, all this time I've been lying to myself without even noticing

I relate to all of these signs and i hope there will be also a video about on how to guide yourself or what to do if you aren't being your true self..

thanks for reiterating my own thoughts to me

I actually do relate to all of them except for the one about attracting drama, I try to stay away from it. But I actually think I needed to see this, I’ve been feeling really lonely lately and no matter what I do people always seem to leave. :/

I just know that best friend- from a best friend who seems so optimistic and perfect, i cant help but wanna be such an angel to others as she is!!

Under the procrastination lies a fear of failure, making a mistake or not being enough.

6 signs match with my nature except procrastinator. Thanks a lot for the video, and I am trying to accept who I am and grow constantly.

I don’t know how to be my own self.....I don’t know who she is no more.

Only your voice makes me come back, you can read phonenumbers to me.. and the animations melt my romantic heart🥰❤

...Why do these videos always show up at the exact moment I am thinking and feeling the things described in the video. I relate to many of these things

i was doing all these i was being judged i recently got diagnosed with anxiety and depression but thnakfully i've come to appreciating myself a little more and the fact im alive

2, 3 and 4 I can really relate. I really dislike myself so it makes me happy when I can help people because that makes me think that I'm a good person. Because of this I do everything to not disappoint anyone, I try to please everyone all the time and be the perfect person. But the thing is, I never feel like I'm a good person despite all this and I keep blaming myself for everything... I'm always puting people problems before my own and trying to put out all the fires that exist only in my head most of the time. I'm always fearing that people hate me, and that I said something wrong. I try to fix what I said all the time.. it's a horrible way to live and I don't know what to do.. I fear that if I don't please people all the time or be the perfect student (at University) people will be disappointed and dislike me.. but I already dislike myself so much that I won't be able to handle this.. It's like being a slave to yourself.

Dear Psych2Go, I love your channel so much! Thank you for making these amazing videos that inform/help me and many other people. ^^

Thank you really 🥺❤️

Do what makes you happy.

Loving the piano background music

Time to start being brave enough to be myself!

i try to be positive but its kinda hard when you know life will never be fair to you like no matter how much you help somebody they wont always help you back yes its nice to know you helped somebody but its not so nice when they dont care you helped them no its not fair its not fair at all its hard to be positive knowing that

I like the fact that you can just give a summary of the video and get top comment.

Yet again, I relate to all of these

Proud of myself for knowing that for a fact before watching the video. *cries inside*

I can't say how much I relate to this video
