People always say the most important thing about self improvement is to be yourself no matter what. But the problem is I don’t like who I really am. I put on an image of a nice happy go lucky person and I portray a certain level of confidence but when I’m talking to people I feel like I’m being so fake to the point where I want to throw up. Because I’ve got some issues that nobody can see and I’m an emotional wreck. I only feel really comfortable when I’m being grumpy and mean and carry an attitude. When I tell some one to fuck off is when I feel the most joy. I feel like the real me wants to kill everybody but I have to put on this fake personality around people I hate looking at myself in the mirror because I’m ugly on the inside. It’s hard to be honest when you don’t respect yourself. I just don’t know what to do anymore Its like im in movie and I have a split personality sorta like fightclub

Self help books about happiness, success, anxiety and depression, etc.
Of the books I’ve read, the information seems to be either common sense or far-fetched.
What’s some good common sense advice and “help” you don’t find in these books?
For example, “You don’t need a book to tell you how to set goals. Just do it.”

My problem started when I picked my major, hospitality management. At the time I wanted to be a GM in a hotel, but later I would find out that this industry is terrible. If I would be a GM, I would have to probably start at the front desk (for $8/ hr) and work there for ten years. Then I would probably become the manager of the front desk (salary in only the mid to high 20,000s) and then ten years after that I would finally get to a GM position. However, the problem with this position is that in every two years the majority of hotels are usually bought in sold and then the GM would be replaced. The first GM at my hotel was fired because of this and has actually worked at five different hotels in five different states, in as many years. Now I am having difficulty finding a job b/c the jobs I am applying to want degrees in other majors. I find myself ALWAYS thinking complaining and blaming my school b/c they didnt inform me of any of this. Does anyone know what i can do to help?

I have grown up in a dysfunctional family. I have ruined my education because of this. I have 4 mental sisters who create a lot of trouble at home. I have done no studies for eight years. I feel no energy in my body. My mind feels groggy. And my life is purposeless at the moment. I am 25 years old. I want to do something in my life. And my mind is not at peace because a flight of ideas are always popping into my head the moment I keep my mind off from doing other activities. To be honest, I want to do something with my life otherwise my future is so bleak and I may end up at a mental institute. But I am physically and mentally screwed up. I don’t know how to stoke up the feelings of happiness in me and try to become pro-active. In short, I want to be someone who is happy and have a life with purpose.
