So, guys...
First of all, I'm usually VERY open and extremely funny, cute and all that stuff, BUT only around people I've seen for ages, I feel like I should "act normal" or "act like they want me to" around people I don't know and I have no idea how to fix this.
I already know about hypnosis and changing my beliefs, but I'm afraid I could mess this one up.
Any tips?
Fluffs,
It would seem like behind your performing for people is fear or shame of some kind. My first tip would be to try to pinpoint as exactly as you can what your fear is. What if you didn't "act normal" or "like they want you to". What might happen? And then what might happen if that happened? And so on?
Once you've identified the fear driving this, then two more questions:
-Where did this fear come from in your past?
-What part of you still holds this fear?
Then you can do some self-talk to that part of you and let it know if its fear is no longer sensible and that you want to work to change it.
