whenever i go somewhere new or go somewhere where there are many people i dont know, i just keep in mind that all those people have no idea who you are. act and feel the way you want because those other people have no idea what you are all about. if you put yourself out there the way you want to be seen, then that is how you will be seen, they dont know your history or anything. who knows your acting a different way than you normally would have?

another thing i like to keep in mind is that if you feel like you are going to embarrass yourself, or if you are, who cares? really. your never going to see these people again in your life, and they are probably too busy thinking about how they look and portray themselves.

thats how i get through my day. hope this helps

I had to edit this to say this b/c it is important... smoke a blunt and slap some of your favorite music. music that makes you feel good and how you would feel when you are not depressed. this really helps
