I grew up with an extremely shy and overprotective mother, and I'm just as shy as her.
I'm sick of it! I went through all of junior high and high school being on the outside looking in, and now I'm doing the same thing through my 20's. It's killing my self-esteem, confidence, and fun, tremendously.
I know I'm a nice person, and I'm thankful for that, but I'm sick of being know as just a nice guy.
I'm very intelligent (which I know hurts in this situation), but I've played in rock bands before. I play guitar, bass, drums, and I can sing. I definitely have a cool personality, but I can't share it with people because I'm too damn shy to put myself out there.
I was just diagnosed bipolar too which is ridiculous, but I wouldn't feel so down about life if I could relax and just let loose, you know?
I don't want to let this go on anymore... I want to start working to change it before I get even more stuck in my ways.
Help!
