Hey guys and girls, lately I've wanted a boyfriend badly and am finally ready for that, but it's hard to be myself with most people. I can be myself with my family and maybe 2 more friends, but with the rest, I am uncomfortable and self-conscious, so I try and hide it. When i'm so self conscious, it's hard to really focus on someone else because I can't even stop being so self critical and unhappy with myself. Moreover, I don't put forth my best self. Any advice on how to not be like that? I want to be able to not focus on myself and why I'm not happy with myself, but rather have the capacity to give my undivided attention to another.
