i always feel like i have to change my hair/clothes/personality because one of those things for too long gets old. which i might add is very tiring & stressful. sometimes when i see a really pretty girl i dress like her .. then the other day i was looking at my friends pictures on facebook and she was the type that dressed kind of lazily; tee shirts, basketball shorts, beanies, etc. . and i felt that i should dress like her. i hope this is just my age; i am a teenager afterall.. if it's not my age im really gonna hate myself more than i already do. i always feel like im never good enough.. if you couldnt have already guessed. im kind of shy, so when i try to make new friends it just gets fuckin awkward . ugh... there's so much more .. but im going to stop until next time... any advice on how to not be shy ? also, is it just the age that im at that makes me wanna be like everyone else ? please help me on how to be MYSELF .

    Honestly I'm almost writing this post to myself I'm a guy but I'm in a similar situation You want to be liked, you want to fit in, you want to be accepted You can't feel bad for that, that's what everyone wants. People will do anything to fit in and be accepted by the crowd because it relaxes their fears It isn't the worst thing in the world to not be liked though, As cliche as it is, you have to be who you are and learn to accept yourself Learn how to relax whether people like you or not, because that relaxation quality will rub off on other people, and make you someone they enjoy being around believe it or not. If you will relax, they will relax, and feel accepted by you. Learn not to worry, because worrying is a waste of time Lots of people have anxiety, or feel awkward when talking to or confronting people, especially people they dont know Its natural But the trick is to try and teach yourself how not to care You will feel yourself becoming a better person And eventually you will become the person you want to be I suggest working out, or running a few days a week It's definitely a self confidence booster, and it makes you feel good about yourself.
