people value "being yourself" waaaay too highly. no one is ever him or herself. people make compromises all the time and i mean 100% of the time when around others, they don't say whatever they're thinking for a reason. if you think acting a certain way will make someone like you more by all means do so, but do consider if it's really worth all that effort first. if you have to change too much to click with someone it's no good long term.
This is true. I am more similar to "myself" on the internet than I am in real-life because I know that if my friends knew I like some of my interests as much as I do, they'd laugh me off and not take me seriously as a person anymore. I'm still the same guy in the company of those I know who judge one another, but I just cover up aspects about myself I'd rather they not know and that's that.

Personality is still the same though, and I never have any issues interacting with anybody, man or woman. Confidence in communication is always key.

Jack won't have anything to be relaxed about at all if he doesn't get online soon.
Sorry mate, had to work all day today, same with tmrw :(

And jen is right, I think too much about what I should say instead of actually saying something, and I just sit there not saying anything. If I would just talk and be myself everything would possibly be ok (Y)
Are you sure? What if you're wrong? Sometimes we delude ourselves by saying that we're valuable when in reality we're not. It could just be a bias of yours that needs to believe that you're worth more. Maybe you should just think about it a little bit more.
lol don't be a brat SALy....jacky, be yourself...if she doesn't like you for who you are then she's not right for you... eos! You're suppressing yourself, don't DO IT!

If Jack being himself is nervous around people then clearly he needs to change.

Jack doesnt seem that interested in this anyway so Im going to just stop.

I'm somewhat torn in an agreement between both Goodsbee and Adams, but I have no observations that I would think propitious to add concerning the matter, but for the fact that their cannot be shame in being who you are, and yet that there exists nothing except moral inhibition against change.

What I mean is, if you can be someone else, why not?

Actually I was thinking last night and I think when I meet someone I automatically think they don't like me, and only after they do or say something that shows kindness will I really begin to open up to them.
In battle, in the forest, at the precipice in the mountains,
On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows,
In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame,
The good deeds a man has done before defend him.

you're perfectly likeable but you don't seem to know it. just trust me you are, and there's no reason for you to obsess over whether people may or may not like you. just assume they do and go from there.

Im not sure if you can be helped Jack. You sound like you have confidence issues.

Look Jack, you might think when I stay stuff like get a haircut Im joking. When you think about it though it makes sense. If you think (yeah even if you only think it) you look good, you feel good and that def comes across.

Not necessarily. You can be a great person, with interesting opinions and things to say, but still get nervous and quiet around people. I don't think you can really see someone's true personality until you get to know them and they become comfortable being themselves around you.

richard said "natural behaviour", ie the behaviour someone might have when they're being themselves, free from constraints such as being nervous

yeah like incog said, natural behavior as in when you're at home or with friends whom you can be comfortable around. for example,

if your room is messy and you dress poorly you may have a tendency to be careless in your personality

Absolutely. I think what's even better is working out. When you feel fit, you feel like you're invincible.

Working out doesnt really do it for me but I can see why it would improve your confidence.

I dont know Jack. You just need to tell yourself to "man up". Believe me it works

human beings have feelings, it's only natural...

Talk about being socially conditioned at birth ..."Don't be a cry baby!" "Suck it up and be a man!" ...nonsense.

I prefer not to be an emotionless robot...but that's just me :/ I'm not talking about being an emo! Emotions are part of being human..eos.

Feelings make everything better... and they are not a sign of weakness AT ALL. Also, wouldn't being in love be pointless without emotion? If ur not happy how can u know what it is to be sad...or even appreciate it??

Yes adams, ur rage holds u back.

lol there are more negative ones than positive :/

emotional state = positive emotions - negative emotions
negative emotions > positive emotions
emotional state = negative

simple math.
