I have now faded 2 years. In that time, I am more my authentic self. No longer putting on a fake robotic boring personality. Simply put, 'Im simply me', What you see is what you get'.
Anyone else glad to be who you really are since leaving?

Who you really are is always some façade, that we think will be acceptable in the current surroundings, so you changed your acquaintances, and found it more comfortable, felt more "yourself", but you may in fact change again, and again. Things like "responsibility" may become more important than hedonism for example. Look into even more deeply, and you may find something called the truth of "no self", a realisation that you are only a concept you hold onto.

Congratulations.... it takes a long time to shed the bee hive mentality and be free and responsible for your choices.
Most people act according to the script as JW's. When they leave many rebel against the script. In the end, most will write their own script, or at least choose a better script.
