I feel weird and disconnected all the time. But at school and in public I can't be how I feel, if I'm sad I act happy and smiling. For all emotions, sometimes when people ask what's wrong I can't say anything becuase they know I"m lying if I say fine. I don't know what to do about it. When I try ot approach and talk about it with a close friend they think I'm joking and start talking about something else. And it's like that for all of them!
Also I got a call from my aunt Jackie, who moved along with a lot of my family, and also got a letter. I could feel the emotion welling up, but nothing came out until I heard her voice. And I still couldn't tell her how I felt.
HELP ME!
What can I do to be able to open up and tell people what I'm feeling and stuff? And how can I make myself seem more approachable for other girls, as friends, and guys, as friends or more or whatever?

by the way i'm in 8th grade thirteen so I can't do much on the thought of therapists. and I don't feel comfortable with my councilors becuase i heard them basically laughing when i took down attendance for a sub, about someone's situation.

I sense that there is more to this than you are saying, only because I have heard these feelings from people with certain backgrounds. I suggest that you talk with a therapist or counselor to explore the source of these feelings. The only other reason I can see for them is that you are trying to hard to be something that you are not. You may feel depressed, but don't want anyone to know. You should try to be more genuine and open and realize that unless you are outrageous, people will soon forget what little mistakes you make on the road to learning about life as long as you are pleasant and seek to be good to others.

You only should open up to people who've been your friend for a long while or people who you trust not to take advantage of you in the future.
You could open up here on Yahoo if you want. Your question hee doesn't leave much to be understood of why you feel the way you do.
