Yep, it makes sense. You might think that you're a perfectly nice/smart/generous/cool/funny person, but maybe in social situations, you're afraid you might say or do the wrong thing? It happens all the time to good people. Sometimes when the spotlight suddenly turns to you, maybe you clam up??

My advice is to stay in the game. You'd be surprised how many people who seem to have it goin' on are thinking to themselves "Does anyone like me? Am I normal?" Maybe it would be helpful to take a small risk--join the debate team, take a public speaking class, get yourself some practice at handling yourself in front of other people. That will give you some practice at "thinking on your feet".

Without you realising, its a sort of cover, because inside you know you're not that confident, your self esteem is covering over that to make you someone your not.

Its completely normal but best avoided! Try to just act calm in all situations, and remember your not the best at everything lol. Even if you are! Good luck <3Marizzlex
