Hey..im not what you would call a bogan..i'm pretty outgoing, and like meeting people, i'm not shy and i like spending time with my friends, but sometimes i have emotional issues, like for example. I'm with my friends and they would be walking away, i don't know what to do. Do you know what i mean? i don't know how to handle it sometimes..like when i'm in a convesation and it's closing, i'd be desperatly looking for some other group to join, so i'm not left by myself, and i really have no idea hot to fix it. I dont like being the one following..and sometimes i feel like it's too much of an effort, and i just seem socially challenged coz i walk sometimes around by myself.
Do you guys get me? I'm not Socially Challenged, it's just sometimes i don't know what to do..
I really need some advice, as to stick with my friends and not seem like i'm a bogan..
It's hard to explain...it really depends on who i'm with, but if i'm with people i don't really know, unless i'm not Emotionally there at that time, i just listen and that's when i follow. but when i'm there, i'm bubbly etc.
also sometimes i get intimidated by people, who i don't know, and are thought to be the cool people. I don't know how to be my bubbly self, and show them who i am, coz i'm focused on "don't stuff this up"
"you have to make a good impression" or i have to show them i'm cool..
I just need some advice..
yeah. what i mean is, i don't feel like i'm going to be able to deal with being myself, and meeting new people because i have a warped view of who i am. I feel like i'm different to each person i meet, and the person i want to be, to a certain someone, isn't who i end up being.
I'd just like to learn how to be confident, and if i feel this feeling coming on i'm immune to it.
Teenage worries...who needs them?
I just wish i had an air, where i don't have to try, and i seem cool.
Well, we cant really help you unless you tell us whats going on in there. Like, do you feel nervous, or disliked, or deformed? Better question might be what do you think is bad about yourself that reoccurs in your mind constantly?
Okay, yes. I do know how you feel lol. I also feel that way; like I'm constantly sacrificing who I am in order to better assure my chances at being friends with whoever so I won't feel like I don't have friends. But what ends up happening is I feel like I'm acting or like I'm not being myself for the sake of befriending someone, and feel like I am constantly having to change "me" depending on who I'm interacting with. :-/
yes thats it. i feel like i'm a different person with every person i meet, and that kind of confuses me, because who i am by myself, is not who i am with them, and when i try to be myself, it's not who i end up being..
if you get that...
