I wish I can take that inital leap of faith and just be myself. I know it is a simple thing but it is really not.

I have a problem with expressing my personality outside of my house. I am a talkative,nice and understanding person who jokes around a lot but for the pass couple of years, I can't seem to do it outside of my house. I have a fear of being hated and judge. Am 20 right now and pior to going to the 9th grade, i remembered myself as a confident, assertive and a happy person. Could having bad highschool friends be the cause? I hanged out with 5 guys and they all play sports and I didn't and they all knew each other very well while I just met them that year. Since they are long time friends, they usually picked on me and made fun of me. I made fun of the way I talk, dress, walk etc.. Anything u could think of. Now i'm 20 and is afriad of expressing myself. When I talk to people, they get bored because I guess I'm not expressing my true personality. I hold back words in mouth because am afriad of offending people. What can I do? What is my plan of action?

great post forumjunkie. I think people do feel unconforable around me for some unknown reason. Not sure why. I'm normal looking with a nice caring and understading personality.

how will this help? i'll take a look later

Even though I am a very nice guy I have no friends. I can't remember when was the last time I made someone mad. It seems like most lonely people are nice people so what if I stop being nice? Could it slove my problem? There are jerks that seem to have all the girls and friends.

that is cool
