i keep forgetting that i need to be open about myself if i want to find others who will accept me as i am.

but it's also so hard to be myself without anyone encouraging me to do it. i always worry what others will think if i do/say anything contrary to what they're used to.

but again, if i don't be myself then nobody i surround myself with will care about my actual self, just what i've shown them on the surface, and what they assume about me.

it's a big loop.
