I always feel like I’m either holding back too much/ being way too quiet OR being too blunt, rude or even too weird sometimes. And I know this isn’t just like in my head bc most of the time ppl are like “why are you so quiet??” But when I open my mouth I am often met with blank stares and confused expressions. I can handle small talk pretty well, but when it comes to full blown conversations it’s like what I just described above.

Whenever I be myself, I end up having to apologize

Never be sorry for being yourself. You are the way God made you and it’s beautiful and perfect. It just means they’re not the people for you and that’s ok, most people won’t be. It’s hard to do-but you’ll never find the your people, the ones that love who you are, if you aren’t ever yourself / have to apologize for it. Learn about yourself, like what you like and what you dislike and stuff, and in doing so you’ll naturally encounter people that don’t need apologies, just love.
