Ok I'm a sophmore in high school and I personally see myself as smart, kind, and funny but I feel like I rub people the wrong way :/ Like when meeting people I'm either really crazy and wild so they either see me as fun and cool or really dumb which REALLY bothers me. On the other hand I can clam up around people and they see me as too quiet, boring, and once again dumb which also bothers me. It's so weird and frustrating!!! I've wondered if I have duel personalities, what do you think and how can I help it?!
Or is it all in my head? :/

I think you meant dual personalities, and no, I don't think you have them. It's more like you have different ways of acting around different people. I was always different when hanging out with my friends versus hanging out with my family. I think everyone is like that. We each have a face that we show to people, and everybody sees something a little bit different. Don't sweat it. You seem to be articulate to me, so that tells me you're not dumb :) Hope this helped!

If you had dual personalities, you would constantly be confused because you would "wake up" somewhere different and lose large chunks of time. So yes, it is all in your head.
That said, I think we all come across differently to different people at different times because of our moods, their moods, any number of factors. And how do you know how these people REALLY see you?? Do they tell you? I don't think so. I think you are worrying about how they see you and have convinced yourself they think you are dumb. I believe that you should work a little bit on raising your self-esteem and try to stop worrying so much how others see you and concentrate on just being yourself. Good luck.

Hey this is a fellow junior, and your duel personality problem is normal. I'm really friendly to people, and other say im quiet. This is nothing to worry about, don't worry about what people think about you. Just make sure they don't get into your mind, cause then youll start slacking in school and you might hurt yourself or someone

No, I don't think so. I think you are still discovering yourself and figuring out what works best. You are getting feedback from people that is giving you the idea that maybe some of what you are doing is not helping you.
