Im legitimately scared that Im a manic pixie dream girl

I am dazy and quirky and spontaneous and weird and interesting and carefree and certifiably insane
And I'm really pretty

And I'm scared of being a tool to make the male protagonist in my life happy.

How do I stop this?

>Manic pixie dream girl
More like: attractive girl who likes to cause drama in her life and the ones around her.

You're Delusional.
If it's genuine help you're looking for, as you can see from the rest of the comments, you're kinda not going to get it here.
What you're describing through the entirety of the thread is that you have problems- A lack of "consciousness". That you have no original thought process aside from the couple of things you mentioned? Then I ask.. What drove you to come here? You had to have conjured some sort of elaborate plan in that head of yours. I don't know how you [i]thought[/i] it would be taken, but as you can see, some of us kinda think you're striving to get attention. Your unwillingness to listen kinda proves as such.
So Again, if you're genuinely concerned about your well being and self-falsified existence, you should speak to a professional.

Oh man. Where to begin..
1. Don't seek advice from Basilmarket.
2. Don't Self-Diagnose yourself.
3. Go seek professional help. A Shrink, Counselor, Psychiatrist.

im pretty sure manic pixie dream girls only exist in stories, because they're poorly written and have no character development of their own.
hopefully at least [i]most[/i] people have character development of some sort

in real life, there is no "manic pixie dream" quality. only vapidity, and shallowness. are you shallow?

Do you have hobbies? Interests? Do you got out of your way to try new things? It just seems to me like you haven't explored what life has to offer. Granted, as I do not know you these are all simple assumptions based upon the information given. There are infinite things in life that can be done or accomplished and you're more so worried about someone else? You say you are scared yet spontaneous and carefree? Why are you scared? Mistakes happen. That's life. Do something different, something daring, I don't know. You more so sound bored to me than anything else.

@rixworkwix: i'm not in hs lol and i'm not boring to anyone! i like have this weird personality i've cultivated that automatically comes out the second it's needed but when i'm alone i'm no one. i only exist around other people...not specific other person but people in general.

if youre still in highschool you should fix this before its too late (post secondary +)

youre going to end up being the most boring plank of wood to talk to. if you rely on someone to fill a void you will never know your own potential. you should be able to pick yourself up if someone were to bring you down and you end up alone.

part of being a manic pixie dream girl is the need to be fulfilled by another human being. If you're an independent person, who don't need another person to save you or make you whole, then you're not a mpdg. so don't worry about it.

@rixworkwix: i genuinely love my SO though. i'm just not a real person! haha i don't even think when i'm by myself, you know? any voice in my head is one of three things, an obsessive thought (terrible ocd here) that i do my best to push off, or i'm rehearsing my lines before i talk (i always rehearse my lines) or a song. that's it. if i'm for once not in the middle of fighting off an obsession then my mind is blank. i don't think. i can't talk to myself there is no self to talk to!

@evyxx: without sounding creepy, im pretty sure i saw in a thread youre like 17/18. a lot of people dont pick it up for a hobby till their 20s. you got time. dont give up. we all gone make it brah.

srs though. maybe you should take some time being alone. a couple months and find out what you as a person likes doing by yourself (lol)

I feel fake. I legitimately feel like I'm not a real person. I have no aspirations or goals I'm just here to make my SO happy. I'm not real. I don't know who I am outside of long term relationships.

@rixworkwix: I used to but i gave it up =/ i should start again. im moving in 2 days tho lol

lift weights, srs. be your own main character find power, build strength. i know of girls who gained hella confidence through lifting weights because they can actually see them selves get stronger and the feeling of ripping weight off the floor is like none other
