Question Posted Tuesday January 2 2007, 5:52 pm

for a while now,i've had 2 masks(the way i act towards other people). one mask - my friends in the city i was born. two- the town i moved to.
really,im the first one. its the real me. but im too afraid to show it in my new town and towards the people there. really though,im SICK of hiding. i dont give a $^*% anymore. but if i dont then why am i afraid? how can i show my true self without them thinking im a fake? ps- the friends in my new town are only kinda- friends...its not like im going to have sleepovers or anything,but i really want that,how can i show myself with them still likeing me?

Honey, you only have one mask. The real you isn't a mask, the false you is. Be yourself. I promise there is nobody in the world better to be.

You are only being a fake when you are pretending to be something you aren't, not when you are being who you really are.

The best way to find out if your kinda friends show promise of being worthy enough to call real friends, is to let them know "Hey, this is who I really am, like it or don't."

If they flake out and don't want to be friends anymore, they weren't wanting to be a real friend in the first place.

If they still want to be friends, just explain you felt intimidated and unsure of yourself and you just wanted to fit in and make friends. A real friend will understand.

I went to a small school in a small town. Everyone tried to be like each other. To me, when a new student came to school, it was a refreshing drink of water just to know someone different is there.
