Just came across this question on reddit and tbh…i don’t know

People have always told me(including my parents) that i am very antisocial, i don’t know how to speak, i don’t smile often, i’m shy, i look very judgemental or i’m just too egotistic…so i don’t know if i’m actually someone worth hanging out with

And no i didn’t make all these things up i have heard it all my life from my parents, teachers, friends etc.

I don’t know if its just my luck or something about my looks or the way i speak but people don’t really hold back against me

So what about y’all?

    The version I present nowadays usually is better socially adapted and better able to integrate itself into a conversation

    That seems positive. But it’s your call.

    For me, “conforming” means listening, considering my audience, controlling interjections, and asking people about stuff. I don’t feel like I’m denying myself, I feel like I’m being more considerate.

    I can see how other kinds of conformance could be awful. Denying one’s sexuality or something like that.

      It’s nothing that drastic, maybe I just find it hard to differentiate between natural change over time and stuff I pretended to have changed to better fit in
