4/🧵 : There is no "real you". It is normal and healthy that you are different in different situations and that sometimes you have to struggle to present in a socially fitting way. All of the versions of you are "real" even if some are more comfortable than others.
Feeling awkward in a social situation is not a sign that something is wrong. Awkwardness is a feature of complex situations. It tells you something new, interesting or important is happening or about to happen.
