I am unable to connect with anybody in my life because I have constructed several false identities out of a fear of being known, of being honest and authentic, and it is all torturous. I am a weak coward. Any books for this feel?

>>23820063I used to be a lot like you. Just cut off your circle of 'friends' and you'll find that you don't have anyone who can judge you on your authentic feelings. It worked for me but I don't suppose it will work for everybody else
If you feel shame about having certain feelings or ideas how can you be sure they're "authentic" and wholly representative of you?
