Are these wiierd feelings to have?
People have given up on trying to change me, get me out of my "shell" or whatever. And I knew it was happening and knew it would happen soon and I thought then I would feel hopeless. But honestly, I feel better. I feel more hopeful and determined to be a better person and actually work and earn it. Because when they were more pushy I would always just waiit for the invite, but I Iguess they were waiting for me. But now, Im more relaxed, more grounded, and working to be a better person for myself, not just for other people.
I feel like this gives me a chance to figure out who i am and start projecting that image more. Im not exactly what they wanted me to be because Im naturally reserved and quiet but whatever.
This is completely the opposite of what I thought I'd feel.

The weird feeling you're describing is transformation. I understand the way you felt and the way you're feeling now because I was and I am You. I think that when others were pushing you, you felt like they were pressuring you with all their might to make you something they wanted you to be and something they could benefit from. You feel more relaxed because you finally feel accepted for being you and being able to let yourself out. Check out my blog on MySpace - the address is in the source section; it may surprise you. I say stay you, stay sweet, and keep feeling your transformation. I wish you only the very best and good luck!

Kind of confirms the idea that people can only be authentic when there are not a lot of expectations on them... I like the idea!
Thanks for sharing~
