advice

The people that know me think that I'm a nice person, but people who don't, think that I'm stuck up and a goody-goody. It's as if getting good grades is a crime! They assume that I can't have a good time, which is really not true. People won't really come up and speak to me (especially boys) because of this. The problem is, that none of my friends can tell me what it is that makes me appear stuck up at a first glance. How can I appear to be a more friendly and approachable person?

The more answers, the better!

(oh, I'm not really worried about the boys. I have a boyfriend. it's just a detail.)

Not Stuck-up,

Well look at this situation as an opportunity to look within and really figure out if you are truly representing your self correctly to others. Sometimes, we may appear to be cold or stand-offish because we don't fully engage with other people. Are you allowing yourself to be open with people you don't know that well? Smiling at others is a great way to let others know you are carefree and fun to be with. But most importantly, you need to be who "YOU" truly are. Not everyone is going to like you...if they did...that would be an issue. Maybe make a list of qualities you like about yourself...not including looks and items...more like personality traits, then go through each thing you listed and ask yourself...do I honestly portray that to strangers? If no...then become more mindful with how you are with others.

After the research you do on yourself...if you truly feel you are 100% portraying your "true" self, then be happy with that discovery too. There isn't anything wrong with being who YOU are. Be authentic, don’t make yourself into what others want you to be. If they have a problem with it, then that is an opportunity for them to discover the truth about themselves.
