for the last several yrs., ii've taken alot of firocet to boost my confidence to be around others. this is the only way i feel comfortable in social settings. whenever i get invited to "social settings" i immediatley start thinking about how i can get some firocet to be able to have a good time. i'm scared that others won't accept me. i've missed out on sooo much in my life because i dont feel like others think i'm "good enough" to be around them. i don't want to feel rejected. i want to stop. my kids are very upset by my actions. i just need to figue out how to be "myself" and stop wondering if people will like the REAL me.

NEEDING to be ACCEPTED is a STRONG FORCE that LIVES with in US ALL and it some times makes us do strange things in order to be wanted by others....
I feel that if we were not allowed to the be the ME that we were born to be then it becomes a harder task to endure as we mature..... we find (some times to late) that we have been so busy being who we think other people want us to be that we loose sight of the real ME in the process.
