Is it normal to not act out what i think?

I'm a shy guy and ever since I was young, I hid my feelings by telling people something opposite to what I'm thinking. like when someone ask me if I want water or soda, my mind goes "SODA!!!!!!!" then I just say water and try to convince myself that water is better thing to drink. iin?

    Water is better for you than soda. I see what you mean though. Im really shy too. I always pick the choice that I think will make me look better rather than the choice that I really want. I was raised in a very judgemental environment. :/

    Iv recently have been voicing out what i really feel and to some people that what they did was not ok. It kinda sucks because it causes more problems but in the end i think it will work out better for me instead of lying to myself that its all good.

    Lol I'm guessing you're young. You will grow out of it. Hopefully you date someone that helps you crawl out of your shell a bit and challenges you to speak your mind.

    I always find it easier to tell the truth then you don't have to think too much about it.

    It doesn't matter what people think, Shakespeare said, "To thine ownself be true."

    Building confidence for the first time is difficult.

    Next time someone asks you if you'd like a drink, try to answer with confidence (even just pretend this is just a stage show, but still answer truthfully) Say, I'd love a drink of 'insert your drink here'.

    Once you do this a few times it gets easier and easier, eventually you'll be answering like this: Give me a god damn soda bitch, and snap it up retard! (Oh actually that may be too far)
