I am realizing that I am ok with strangers, who I won’t see again. I’m also ok with my close family and friends, who love me as I am.
It’s the work colleagues, acquaintances and more distant family that I just have such a hard time with. I just cannot overcome the thought that I have to be “on” in order for them to like me.
Does this group bother anyone else? Any advice for overcoming it?
