When I was younger, I was afraid to be myself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was afraid of not living up to what people expected me to be.
I had a fear of being alone.
When I was a kid, I was afraid of other kids.
I was afraid to express myself for a while.
When I was younger, I used to be super, super shy. I still find myself being scared of things.
Key is never be afraid of being yourself. Never!
Growing up, I was so shy, but it was weird because I was the complete opposite on stage. I was just free to be myself.
I found at an early age the times when I learned the most about myself was when I got thrown out there on a stage in front of a microphone when you didn't really want to be out there, where you're kind of afraid.
When I was younger, many of my romantic escapades were just a means of simply avoiding being by myself. I was afraid of feeling lonely, afraid I wouldn't know what to say to myself.
What I loved about myself as a teenager is that I didn't know any better to be afraid or to be insecure.
