> I dont know how to realate very well to people, alot of times in situations i dont know how to get out information, or tell stories, or something that i forgot to tell. Sometimes I lack enthusiasm when i get into a conversation because i feel that i will say it wrong, which i have in the past.... and humiliated me my self many times, thats why it made me the way i am. Alot of times i just dont feel like a have a personality, i feel im just a person "watching" other people.
***I can relate to this too. Sometimes I wonder if my brain works really really differently than everyone elses...
I tend to hold back a lot, for fear that I will humiliate myself, but I am told repeatedly (mainly by teachers) that I need to overcome this, and take chances - express myself....because I have good ideas a lot of the time.
Your thoughts are just as important as anyone elses! And, no one speaks or expresses themselves perfectly EVERY time. People are allowed to make mistakes - including you.What's the worst that could happen? You might get really embarrased, but everyone else is going to forget about it probably faster than you will! And then again, you might say something really awesome, or have a great idea....and find that you're really not as different as you think!
My boyfriend always tells me: "what's the worst that could happen? They can't take away your birthday!"
yeah I know it's silly....but he's right...i will always have my birthday...lol
You just need a little confidence :)
