i used to be like a lot more lively as a kid, i talked a lot more and joked around or whatever. nowadays i'm really really quiet and inhibited with everyone and i've kind of assumed that's just who i am ,but i think its not honestly, i'm just scared to do anything to express myself. because when i am more outwardly myself people find me too weird and off-putting. n i guess i went into my shell to try to avoid people leaving me but it's really causing the opposite now because i can't interact with anyone
something something the unhealthy coping mechanisms we use serve a purpose when we don't have any other means of dealing with the issue but when they no longer serve us we need to let them go, right, i guess that's v true huh. don't mind me just having a therapy session with myself over here lol
