I ask this to myself because there's some people in my environment who I don't have quite a good relationship with, quite cold actually. This may have emerged from the fact that I've been introverted, a bit a-social, shy, not talkative before and this impression has kind of lasted ever since. Like, they don't bother and neither do I because I am scared to be flatout rejected in my efforts to be more friendly. This actually happened sometimes, that my friendly greeting was met with a rude disinterest that they don't display with other people. I guess it's their problem then, but still it hurts me.
I wonder wether they would accept me being a more confident, outspoken person and wether that relationship could transform into something a little more jovial, not necessarily friendly, but you know.
But I feel somehow subconciously I will always act the same around them because they already have a clearcut vision of who I am (or so I feel) and so I keep acting according to what went on previously. Like a sort of roleplaying.
I want to break out of old behavior patterns, but this sort of thing makes it difficult for me. Sometimes I wish I could move or something so that I don't have to face the people daily who know the "old me". Make a fresh start.
