Just the thought of showing my true inner self makes me anxious. I truly believe if I did show everything I am I would never be liked. It's not I have had much luck being shy and reserved. But it is worst not being liked because of who you are rather than you portray yourself to be.

Well said. I do the same. Sometimes so well I lose who I really am. I do not know what the answer is other than it must lie in the fear of being rejected for the real me.

I usually am who I am these days.. it takes a long time and isn’t something that can automatically be “grown out of” (when I was in my early twenties etc..) or any of that bs..

Being me is scary
