Another me
So it seems my brother does not want to move in with me. My parents seem to feel that he is uninterested in living with me.

And being yourself is a gift that most people will never know. The price to pay for that is that it's much more difficult to only show part of yourself when the situation is appropriate. And that's the key, by the way. You don't need to make another Maria, you simply need to only show part of yourself in a professional setting. You put away the part of you that likes certain religions, for example, because they're just not appropriate, just like you put away the part of you that likes certain sexual activities because they're just not appropriate for the occasion either.
It's just a little harder for you because you're less used to only showing part of yourself. It took me a very long time too, and I'm still not even close to %100 on that one. But I'm getting better. Start with "treat strangers like they're strangers, not friends" and that will be a good jumping off point. Master that, and we go to the next step, grasshoppa.
