You ARE your social identity, and you're never fully built! Actualization is a cycle, not an end goal. The right people/places let you share without thinking. True comfortability comes with no need for analysis. It just is! Express yourself in spaces that value you as a person, not a character.
General rule of thumb though: you're going to die whether you speak or not. Which choice brings you the most peace?

Best to be most publicly authentic version of yourself now and face the blowback that comes — you'll be freer and live a more joyful life

People are so different and diverse. And what is cultured and tapped in to one group is going to be irrelevant to another.
You'll be the most happy and free if you are able to resist all of those pressures toward grouplike and alignment. The pressures will be lifelong, though often with a different flavor than right now.
Although the safe thing is to get into that rudderless ship of alikeness with everyone else, the better thing is to love what you love, no apologies, with joy and passion. After a time, they'll come to you.

life is literally just existing, do it how you want too. when I find myself thinking too hard about how I’m presenting myself I try mentally slapping my self out of it by remembering that I’ll never see most of these people again. if I do see them again I remind myself I want them to know me as myself not as a person I curated for them. It’s never that serious, so all we got do is have fun dance and be in the moment.

Ok guys I gotta be honest. I'm all for supporting creatives and rightfully paying people for the art that they create, but sometimes I wanna watch a 30 year old movie and I don't wanna pay the 19-whatever-the-fuck Netflix is taxing.
Take my advice. Get Brave. It's like google chrome on steroids. Go to a site like Brocoflix (i kid you not lmao) and let your heart run wild. Brave's adblocker is insane. Gone are the days of closing 30 porn pop-ups just to watch Sonic. It's game-changing

I'm sure there's an actual name for this but I'm blanking on it at the moment. I try to live under the idea that we're all one being. That in everybody is a piece of me, and in me a piece of everyone else.
I guess it's like an extrapolation of 'the golden rule'. But I think to myself like, if I was being ignorant, I'd want someone to have a conversation with me and help me understand where I was wrong. If I was having a bad day and was visibly frustrated in line, I'd want to have someone stop and ask me how I was doing.
I think most negative people are just hurt. The longer you go without talking about what's bothering you, the more bitter you get. Most people, no matter how they're acting, change when you ask them if they're ok. Most of the time (I'll admit, there's some exceptions lol) its better to be sympathetic rather than defensive.
It's easy to get heated but it takes a lot of patience to really try to understand. Stranger or not, I do my best to help rather than provoke. We've all got our bad days, but that doesn't mean we aren't deserving of compassion.
