Welcome to the Forums!

The forum you are about to enter is coed, but until the For Young Men Only book was released, September 16, 2008, it’s been dominated by the alien gender. Discussions have centered on a variety of topics including the companion book for teen girls, For Young Women Only. We hope this forum will provide answers to questions, advice, and explanations, in a way that will help you understand the opposite sex better. Young Men…enter at your own risk!

Yeah! I can relate to you. I have the same problem and I am always struggling with it. What I do is just think and tell myself that if these people are my friends and love me, then they won't care how crazy I am or what I do.
I don't know if that will help you, but it helps me. :)

Ugh, I'm almost 30 and I can understand that!!  I have kind of a warped sense of humor, and I'm kind of sarcastic.  Sometimes it's hard to keep under wraps.  But then I think, well, maybe it's not SUPPOSED to be kept under wraps, ya know?  Like, maybe if I can just be with... without being un-Christ-like, then maybe God really intended for me to act a little nutty!

I totally get that, Like im spazz, and sometimes talk really really fast etc and im really "off the wall and bouncy" but I've learned that my friends love me no matter how I am. They actually enjoy it when Im spazzy cuz then it makes them happy and spazzy too... I'd say the best thing is to be whatever God has made you to be. If someone doesnt like you for that, its their problem. You are awesome just as you are!

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

Can I relate? Are you kidding me? Of course I can relate...........................

Um, okay, so here's my advice : start off liking who you are. Maybe think about what you believe in, who your friends are, what you're interested in, what you're good and bad at, all of your personality quirks and the things that make you you.And accept yourself. That means stop trying to change yourself and stop comparing yourself to others. You're you, and if your friends are your real friends, then they will love you no matter what. And don't go looking for their approval all the time.You won't get it every time. So just be you.

i agree with everybody! very, very well put.
i'm also probably the loudest and spazzy-est of my group of friends, but they love me for it! of course there's that time and place where you should quiet down, like during church services, etc. but unless your friends are seriously constantly telling you, STOP!, who cares?
you are you and that's great!
:] <3

You may as well come quiet.

hey! i can relate, its often hard, im the kind of person who likes to talk a lot and i often fall  into the trap of talking about myself which is really self centered... so its hard to be my self (talking) without going to crazy:P
for something like that i try to focus on what the other person is saying and also think of questions to ask them, i try to talk about what they are talking about before i say anything about my self...

Loved by God,

Tha is great advice faythe!
I try to do that too, because,like you, i also end up talking about myself, and I didnt quite realize how annoying it can be, until yesterday on the bus, this girl next to me wouldnt stop talking, and it was all about herself, and I didnt even know her!!
It was really akward...
but yeah. I think your advice is great!

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances

'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
