You’re very right. I certainly have learned to filter what I say until I’ve spent a good amount of time with someone. I didn’t really do that in high school! lol. The thing I find though is that once I start opening up more it seems that usually certain girls are the ones who end up not “liking” me. I get along great with guys! I guess growing up with 5 brothers could have something to do with that. Lol.

Thanks for sharing, Tasha! I know your humor, and I can understand how that can take some time. I’ve found the important thing, in those situations, is to at least respect what other people are comfortable with, rather than trying to change yourself altogether, right?

All very good points! I’ve always been outspoken and have generally not cared too much if people didn’t like it. However, when I first moved to TX I really began to withdraw socially. Most people just didn’t understand my humor and I would get so nervous in public and felt like people were constantly judging me! But in the past 8 months or so I’ve mostly gotten back to my old self. I just have to tell myself that not everyone is going to like me and that’s ok! Some personalities just clash. But the people that DO like me make up for any of the people that think I’m a weirdo. :p
