I know a lot about music. That often makes people impressed.

Awesome! 😀 I'm impressed already that a lot of people on SPW are so talented. 😉 So what kind of music do you like and do you play music yourself ? 🙂

I can play the violin hah. But i'm far from being a talented musician it's just that i'm very interested in music in general (new genres, music history and so on..) I like so much but favorite genres: soul, house, techno, dubstep, pop, r&b, hiphop and just everything that is good lol 😀

I am confident and funny when i'm drunk which means the person I want to be is in there somewhere. He's just not allowed out.

I hate my personality so umm I'm very pretty. That is it I guess. Kind of sad, if you think about it

Today has been another ****ty day. By now I always think about committing suicide because I can't find any kind of happiness! If I could just have some...

Oh, sorry, it's the habit! 😀
Well, positive things... oh, my two front teeth are really awesome! They are sharp and they make me look like a vampire somehow, lol.

Oh that's so beautifully expressed.

I feel that. There's a watcher at the gate that always turns back most of me.

I like that I'm a loyal friend and I value quality friendships over quantity.

I see a small inprovement in my SA.
I became so sick of acting fake. I'm afraid of silences in conversations and because of that i say awkward things and ask LOTS of questions. It isn't being me at all.
I even heard that some co-workers don't like to work with be because i ask too much.
I decided to say things more on impulse. Immediately people at work saw that and told me i became more quiet.
I told them i wasn't myself after all.
And guess what? one of the assistants told me that co-workers really like working with me now, unlike in the beginning 🤨
Ofcourse there are a few silences but this is waaaay better then faking it. I'm still not there yet because i still say things to kill silences. But i have small conversations now with people while i'm being ''more'' myself, and that is great.

It really helps to be aware of the fact that i want to change the fake behaviour. So when i'm in a conversation and i'm about to say something fake i just hold it within me and don't say it! It's nice:)
Today i was in the kitchen and had nothing to say to my brother. He was making noodles and i was waiting to take my meal out of the microweave. Then he suddenly asked me what kind of food is nice to eat with noodles:D WOW! i really like the fact he asked me something xD it makes me feel useful. It also like the fact that you can't hold a conversation on your own, hell no!

The next step is to become more confident i guess. I notice when i feel happy about myself i can talk more natural:)

This is a nice progress, it's scary but also a challenge.

I had the strength to tell my boyfriend yesterday that things aren't working out. Even though it hurts bad, I'm glad I can heal now.

Thats great nooba ^^ i know that sometimes this silences makes soo nervous the whole situation and ofc we could say lot of stupid things but as u are doing sometimes is better silence than faking and btw u are doing good =) oh i just noticed that this post its quite old xD but the same i know that right now u are doing better the talking has to be something natural because when its forced its immediately shown and with bad effects btw yes its a progress urs but dont fear it u will win this challenge

This is awesome, angel! Any small improvement is a step in the right direction and you're acknowledging that. I have a similar problem to you, as a matter of fact, so it's something I need to work on myself.

That's excellent that you took that step. Time will heal that wound. 🙂
