Just my interpretation but imagine your "true self" as the person that you want to be. Maybe you have a goal to do 100 push ups. Your true self would be someone that can do 100 push ups, and currently you aren't that person.

Just a crude way to explain it, for me, I've been a bit miserable for a while, and I blame my job and a lot of other things I have to do every day.. it sort of manifested in minor self-hate... but seeing this reminded me that I'm not the problem. It's that I'm not actually being the person I'm "supposed" to be, aka my true self.

I checked to make sure in his post history that he posted in another language as well before commenting. It's unfortunate he got offended, but usually people want to know if they're messing up in their second language, especially English.

You can even tell he didn't know which "than" I was talking about in his next reply, until sometime explained it to him. Both times played off as "I'm tired" ... it's okay, he didn't like it, that's fine

Idk if English is your second language but your "Than" should be "Then". I don't normally correct people like this but it seems like you were attempting to use it correctly and may want to know.

Then is for an event, like leading into something Then something else.

If you planned to use "than" comparatively, it should always be around the middle of the sentence and after a word like "rather" or "better" ... i.e.

Them getting caught is better than if they weren't
