I Need a Chill Pill. I know the person I want to be, but I'm not totally sure on the route to take to become that person. I love those moments when I just disregard the thoughts of others, so I get the chance to be comfortable with who I am. I'm very kind to others and whatnot, so I don't have a reason to be insecure...I just feel awkward. I want to be able to embrace others more and not shy away from the hugs I'm offered. I don't want to be so alert anymore. I want to disconnect with my surrondings just a tad, so I can act naturally and not always question myself. I seriously need to relax and not be so uptight. How do I get to this point?

Draw an imaginary circle.
This is your "circle of comfort"
Human beings are wired to try to stay in this circle of comfort.
The only way to do what you want, is to repeatedly push yourself outside of it.
The more you go outside the circle, the bigger the circle gets (anything you do alot becomes comfy eventually) and the more used to going outside the circle you get (double plus bonus!)
Basically, you must push yourself. Alot. And you will grow with time and become more of the person you want to be. ]
Haha. Well, I use to be that way until I met the most amazing girl and guy. Well, 2 guys?
Haha. Let's call them Fred, Bob, and Jill.
Fred and I've been friends since last year and we are inseparable at school. And I guess since he was so apathetic, I felt inclined to soften him up a bit? I guess that's when I became more "soft"? lol. Then I met Jill & she's a BIG HUGGER. I'm not kidding you when I say she's a hugger. She hugs people when she sees them and before she leaves them and I absolutly love her. And Bob is a big hugger, too. His hugs are a bit more energetic and twirly and what not.
So, what I'm saying is that it takes a little time to get relaxed with other people hugging you and what not. It took me like a year. Haha. So just go with the flow. The next time you're hugged, try and hug back. Try to find friends that are hugger =P ]
not an answer, but im exactly like you and i need a chill pill too... ]
I understand what you're feeling, and the best way to let it go, is to ask yourself what makes you this way, and go from there and work on it. A tiger can't change it's stripes over night
