It's not me

Whenever I'm with people, even here on the internet, I feel like I'm someone who I'm really not. I constantly feel as if I'm holding myself back. I just can't seem to express myself. My ACTUAL self.

Why am I so afraid to show my true colors?

I'm like that at times, darling. But, it's not that I'm not showing my actual self [[sometimes it is, but not all the time]], it's more like I can't let people get too close.

Maybe fear of rejection? Honestly, I can't answer that for you because I don't even know the person you are around people, let alone the person you 'truly' are.

Hey PM me...maybe we can talk one on one...m,aybe that might help! I'll be me and you can be you! alright!?

Maybe your shy or its fear of rejection....its hard to let people too close. I know that for a fact, poeple have btrayed me and hurt me so much. But that could be the reason your scared. Its hard to trust people.

You're just keeping your shield up, it's alright we accept you as you are.

Hhmmmeeeeh @.@ it's not that easy

a while ago I had the two greatest friends in the world and one attempted to rape the other

^that's horrible.
i can understand why you might be afraid of really opening up to other people, but i think that is really normal for many people.

I completely understand what you mean.

It's as if no matter how much you want to be yourself, there's something standing in your way.

But you just need to realize that there is only one you. So by not BEING you, you're missing out on a ton... Not only that, but everybody else is missing out on knowing a great person.

I know what it's like. Sometimes I'm a different type of person around certain people. I am afraid of being rejected, I don't know, I don't think anyone really act the same around everyone. I don't.
