A little bit about myself.
After quite a long time being a member of Italki, I decide now to write something here for the first time.
My name is Tiago, I'm 22 years old and I've lived in Brazil since I was born. I am not fond of writing, but sometimes I feel I need to do it because my thoughts are always boiling. My mind seems confusing and always full of questions, but now I know that basically no question can have a 100% satisfactory answer, at least not for me.
I'm not good at oral communication... not because I don't know how to speak, but because I am just too nervous, shy and introvert. I feel uncomfortable when too many people look at me, I just feel like running away. I absolutely hate those behaviors, because I feel I am not being who I think I truly am. Something kind of funny is that the things I want to do require what I seem to lack the most, one example is: I want to work with communication, language. I want to be an interpreter/translator...Where does that desire come from?... Is my deep self trying to push me away from my weaknesses?...
Freedom, truth, authenticity and love. These are the things I seek the most in my life. Not really a social freedom, I already have pretty much of it here, but something very personal. I want to feel free inside myself, free to think, to believe, to feel, regardless of what happens around me. Truth, something that I don't really know what is, but what I just seek desperately, maybe because I hate ambiguity...Authenticity, this one is a noble virtue, which is an expression of freedom. And, finally, love, which for me is impossible to truly understand, because it is so utopian… But what matters is that it leads people to do what is good for all, in a pleasant, caring and unselfish way. Love, for me, if the essence of existence

Tiago,
Too long to make corrections (and those would be minor and stylistic anyways), but more than anything, I just wanted to tell you how well you communicate your feelings in another language.
I'd say that you're pretty fluent in English already, however, find a native speaker so that you can practice and refine your spoken abilities to augment your written ones. Best of luck!

I've felt pretty much like you sometimes. Sometimes I struggle too much to express my thoughts, ideas and feelings to other people out of my comfort zone(even sometimes to people I trust). But as my beloved one once said to me. If there's a will there's a way. Dont let your weaknesses defeat your dreams, you'd have to work harder to do what other take for granted, but it is possible and achieveable. As far as love, I believe all we need to make this world a better place is love. Which for me includes many of the things you described. Love to ourselves, to others, to nature. Authenticity seems to have become a sin or a crime nowadays, it's being punished.
