Hello Chica

I assume you want someone with more experience than you to share her/his story. I am 21 going 22 and i was as you, as rosecarman, a people-pleaser. Rosecarman said a lot of things that i agree with. For example realising that you have no idea what genuinely interests you. Also the fact that this is an age that we are transforming and becoming the persons we want to be.

Being your self is not easy. Not all people who once enjoyed your company will necessary follow along your current transformation. I for example, lost plenty of friends. However this will make space for people that are compatible with your special self and you will forge meaningfull relationships.

I think what someone needs in order to live with his real personality is not to be afraid of change, believing that the future will be better despite current difficulties, not being afraid to socialise in order for you to meet people and do activities that fit your new self, and to accept the fact that some tears will be spilled. No real change comes without serious effort. But any real change brings real happiness!

I hope you become who you want to be, as well as you rosecarman, and well i hope the same for me also!
George
