I am "absolutely mentally healthy"? or are you contrasting me with such people?
Did my posts convey to you a spirit of "high energy, high creativity, strong egos, profound optimism, entrepreneurial spirit, absolute spontaneity"?!
Sorry, I am not sure I interpreted your post correctly, and I am very tired!
This issue of 'being yourself'...
Even when we act in ways which are antithetical to the way we feel, believe, etc etc about something, we are still very much being ourselves, I feel.
We are being oursleves by not acting in congruence with our true, authentic desires. We are being ourselves by not being ourselves!
This troubles me sometimes, although I am not sure if my OCD symptomatology is coming into play here.....
Hope all is going well for you mate,
Ace
