I Was Scared to Be Myself

I Still Am.

I've always been scared to be myself around people, even my friends. Why? Because people judge everything you do and say. They judge how you look. I'm always quiet now because I'm afraid. I'm afraid of what people will think of me. What they will say about me when it's all over. Whether they will like me or not.

I want to be myself. I want to be likable. But I just can't. I can't knowing what everyone thinks of me. I'm just a shy, quiet, awkward, invisible nobody.

    i felt the same way not to long ago ^^ but i figured out you have to like yourself first before you can expect anybody to like you in return.... dont worry it would get better as time passes
