Is it normal to not know how to..

express my true personality without some family being there with me?? Sorry the whole question didn't fit on the title.. If you met me you would think that I'm not the most interesting person. Which hey may be true on your standards, but I think I'm intersting I just don't know how to express myself at all to people other than my family. I'm actually pretty smart, I'm a good friend, and I think I'm pretty easy to talk to. When my family is near by I seem to know exactly what to say and how to say it to keep the mood at a good level. I can even make people laugh. Any way I always shy away when I meet knew people. Well when I meet knew people by myself. I stutter, I never know what to say, and I sometimes sound stupid. It's lame. Sad. Pathetic. Makes me hate myself. Lol. Anyway is this normal?? Oh and PLEASE give me some advice if you have any..but be gentle.

    the advice from me is, that maybe it just you need some adjustment time with them. its like if you know them more longer then you will be able to show your true self to them.
    but first of all, don't hate yourself for being you.

  • Yeah, I understand. You probably have some form of social anxiety, which prevents you from being yourself when around people you don't know very well.
