Even though logic, experimentation and experience tells me that the nature of the world is fundamentally different from what I was taught and propogandized. I still have terms discarding my past ways and turning a new leaf

Specifically I am stuck failing to reinvent myself again.

It doesn't help that I am in a hostile environment that constantly picks at me dragging me down, everytime I try to change.

Can you guys share your experiences in having to reinvent and change yourself.
