Comfortable Being

I don't feel comfortable being myself
at least not like I was before
but I'm working on it
doesn't that say something about me
I recognize that I have doubts
that didn't exist
when I was sure of myself
and what my purpose in life was
I'm still sure of my purpose
but I don't feel comfortable being myself
that's not the worst part though
having to hear those around me
telling me how they miss who I was
or that they can help me
if I would just let them 
and when I respectively decline
they take it as a personal insult 
rather than supporting my need
to do this on my own
I don't feel comfortable being myself
and I'm pretty sure that effects me
more than it does anybody else
but I can't let words get to me anymore 
I'm already uncomfortable enough
