Are you an introvert? Do you try to change yourself for everyone to like you?

I constantly turn down the plans my friends make and this has made me less appealing socially. Sometimes it is a struggle to go and try to enjoy when you really dont want to

I know what you mean. I can be outgoing sometimes, and other times painfully shy. Really hard to strike a balance.
Also know what you mean about changing yourself - you could use other words and say you try to be flexible, which is a very positive thing…

@Oneofthestormboys yes, flexible is another word for it. But lately, I feel im not being true to myself and fake enjoying the outings. So i used the word 'change'. But need to be more optimistic in life as you said 👍👍

@Tellmeaboutyourself Honestly, I really do know what you’re saying. There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to go out, it’s absolutely not for everyone. I used to detest nightclubs when I was younger, as they stink, rip you off, and the music is total shite - if I have to go out then I’d much prefer a pub or a restaurant with just a small group of people or just one other person. Otherwise I can amuse myself at home just fine. It’s all about what suits you, and never mind what other people think.
