_Question: Any tips to be more authentic and bold in social settings??_
Anyone else put on a mask when at social events? I act all awkward and shy and too nice to the point where it’s off-putting to other people.
I think I’m witty and energetic and can be the life of the party so to speak when I’m around good friends. But I struggle to loosen up in unfamiliar crowds.
I get so discouraged sometimes because I know the person I actually am is so much more interesting and fun (at least in my limited opinion) than the boring person I pretend to be just because I’m too scared to offend other people (probably a common problem).
