I don't know why, but whenever I'm around others, I turn into a completely different person that isn't me at all. When I'm alone or with my family, I'm very fun, bold, energetic, talkative, and charismatic, but whenever I'm with other people, I become super quiet, shy, awkward, soft, and very dull. And I don't even mean to act that way, and I try to stop acting like that and just be myself, but for some reason I just…can't? :/
And I'm not introverted; I'm a very people person and love being around others. It's just that I physically can't express my true self and I don't know why. Even around my best friends I still can't fully express myself. It's as if my brain is trying to hold me back and hide me, if that makes sense. Can anyone else relate? 🙁
