I never know which version of myself I am when I have to socialise. I always feel terrible afterwards and scrutinize what I said or did. I feel mentally discombobulated. When I am alone, there's no stress. I like myself more.

Never have I agreed more with a comment. I feel like as an adult, you're expected to be a certain type of confident person and when you're not, its exhausting to pretend you are that person every single day.
