Am I the only one?
I have such low esteem. I realised that I have obtained a lying issue because I lie about little things to make myself look better to others. I am not good at anything so I lie about what I can do to look good. I don’t want to be that friend that always lies but I don’t want to look like an idiot either.
@Fwloop its extremely normal to want to match with your peers, look cool and just fit in, basically. but once you start being true to yourself, it feels a little - freeing, I would say? i used to do the same, talk and act like I was the cool mysterious person, but after some time the facade got exhausting. now I allow myself to be silly, cute and annoying with my friends. i think in a way it helped me acknowledge my weaknesses too.
its a slow and steady progress to come out of your shell like that, but you should try!! take it one step at a time.
real,i hate how i act☹️
