"not being yourself" in social situations
hello... I noticed that I often think/feel I am not "being myself" when I am with other people. Recently I have been going out more often and I am almost fixated with this idea. The scale can be different, but unfortunately I feel that even with my friends. I say/do things which I wouldn't do otherwise, as if I wanted to impress people, as if I was trying to fit in their picture of me ( deep down I know they wouldn't mind to find out something new about me).
Afterwards I am analysing every little detail, which makes me upset at myself ... It might be because I am so out of touch with expressing myself, and anxious of the consequences if I start to do it. I am trying to look at it from a different angle, i.e. "being yourself" is not fixed...but it's not helping.  Is it possible to stay true to yourself all the time? If we were would we ever tried something new? help
