What’s the one thing you hide from people every day to the point you don’t want anyone to know, not even someone close to you? Every time something scares me I try not to show it. I look fearless on the outside, but inside I’m like a scared shivering child. Inside I feel so nervous talking to people even in situations where I meet my old ex boyfriend/friend. I wouldn’t know what to call him, but anyways we spoke in person for the first time in years. He’s married, but as he was dating his wife at the time he made me feel like crap, well technically since the day he left me alone. And this scared me. He hugged me, and spoke to me and apologized about everything. Outside I looked calm and happy and was nice and remained positive, but I was terrified inside. Cuz it was a feeling I wasn’t expecting. It felt nice to gain my friend back at the same time. But every day, I am like this. But on the outside, I look and sound confident. But I’m not. I put on a disguise that if you were to meet me, you would be like is this the girl I’m talk to on this site.? Yes it is. So my deepest secret is that no fat from confident, I’m insecure, and shy and afraid, but there is this courage in me that does come out and it’s inside all of us and we may not reconize it but we are all amazing in our own way. Don’t be afraid of saying what fears you. Don’t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.
