I’m not invisible anymore… but I still act like I am.
When I was younger, people used to make fun of my looks. Because of that, I became quiet and avoided attention. Over time, staying silent just became my personality.
Now I’m 23. I’ve worked on myself and people sometimes compliment me. I’ve noticed that others are more open toward me socially than before.
But internally, I still feel like the insecure version of myself.
When I’m in conversations, my mind goes blank. Even if someone shows interest or includes me, I don’t know how to respond in a playful or engaging way. I play everything safe. I speak seriously. I struggle with small talk and expressing personality.
There was even a time someone approached me first and I still couldn’t be natural. It feels like my external appearance changed, but my social confidence didn’t.
How do you update your self-image and become more socially comfortable without trying to become someone fake?
