Afraid to Speak Out

Well yes specially when I am in front of tons of people I get alll like what do they think of meh and ext.. but now im like over that cause if I dont speak my mind then I am going to have to deal with the issue so I suggest just say it and get over it cause its your own opinion

Yeah, I remember I used to pretend to like some of the same stuff my friend liked, because I was afraid that she would say that what I liked was stupid/

Boy I was dumb, she is still one of my best friends!

That is common to everyone to different degrees - it is important to speak up when something isn’t right, standing firm and expressing your beliefs.

yes. and whenever I do speak out about something, I regret it because of what people seem to think of me after.

You are finding out that there really is no “Freedom of speech”. Someone will always tell you that you are wrong. That is a small price to pay. Sometimes I feel that I have to say something just to get the other people to give their opinion so I can MAYBE learn from their comments.

yeah…like all the time… im like so friggin scared to talk to people for the first time, cause I think that ill say somethin wrong, unless its a friend’s friend, and they say that their nice and stuff…like u! I always get like mad at u, and I barely know u…lol. your d exeption! lol. but I dont want to get made fun of, laughed at, or cussed out. it makes me kinda sad, and a little piece of me dies on the inside…
