Becoming comfortable in your own skin isn't something each of us is inherently born with, in my opinion. When dealing with others I find it helpful to recognize that as much as I'm going through my own set of stressors, everyone else is as well. I find it helpful to not try to make others find me likeable through mannerisms that seem forced. It really isn't about desiring to edge my way into anyone else's life. I can have a pleasant moment or a genuine moment. I can find a moment relatable or one that I bite my tongue. If moments add up over time and a bond forms, great. At the end of the day I still come home to my life, my reality.

Not sure if that adds to the point. I am sure that being comfortable with oneself is a daily work in progress.
