I thought I knew who I was but I think I was wrong... I always thought I was outgoing in front of people and it seems like the older I get the more nervous I am. And I'm also more nervous meeting people around my boyfriend as well I think because I realize that these people are important to him and I just don't want to screw up.

My voice changes it becomes higher pitched. I act ditzy or just remain quiet. Apparently sometimes the things I say are extremely out there and just make people uncomfortable it doesn't happen often but it happens enough.

Maybe I am really fake in front of people maybe that's why I'm so unhappy around most of my friends. Maybe that's why I'm distancing myself from them to as I grow older...


What can I do to change this? I'm sick of losing people and I'm sick of not feeling refreshed after a good hangout.

well... u just have to seriously look at urself and seriously learn who you are...nd then u begin to accept it and love it because u cant like anyone or love anyone else without first loving and caring for yourself.... besides it is "you" u are who u are and the best thing to do is learn to love tht and be who you are... if you can do tht... then u will be happy
