Self Absorbed

I feel like I have always been self absorbed but really it is just a mask for being insecure. If you come across unfriendly, selfish, and over-bearing, people wont like you for those reasons rathe than reject you for the person you really are. So, you live behind this mask until one day you are forced to take it off.

Then you are just a scared child without the tools to cope with life's challenges. Ever feel this way?
