I Keep Too Many Things to Myself

I genuinely think my life would have less problems if I just opened up to people more and expressed myself. I've always been on the anti-social side of the spectrum, and I wish I wasn't.

Even when someone asks if something is wrong, I just look like a gaping fish. Mouth opens, but no words come out. There's just so many invisible restrictions I had placed on myself without even realizing it, and I'm starting to wonder if change is even possible anymore.

@ToriTalking: Yeah, there's an endless amount of reasons for it, but it really doesn't help in the long run, which is why I wish I were just a bit more social.

Tis very much possible....start here open up to the internet anonymously....open up to an online friend if you are worried about doing it in a social setting.

There are countless people here who would be happy to listen.

Tis never too late

Do you sometimes replay those encounters in your mind? Thinking you'll use what you learned in the future? It can help.
