I like being myself when I'm alone. And when I'm with my absolute closest friends. I'm pretty good at alone. I go out to eat, I run and hike, I smile at people I pass on the street, happy to see a smile back and happy knowing that person will never think of me again.

I dislike being myself when conversations are involved, even with pretty good friends. I don't think I'm interesting and don't think I say the right things.
