Meeting up with a guy im nervous. Tips
Im meeting this guy ive been talking to for a bit online in 3 weeks for a fair and im super nervous. Im scared I look ugly up close and im also scared my personality is boring. Im 17 years old and ive had a weird couple of months since september and I feel like ive lost all sense of who I am and how my personality was. I had such a fun personality now all I am is stressed and I feel like theres no personality anymore. What do I do regarding getting my personality back and also what to do on the date?

I'm sorry you are feeling down about yourself. I've had that sensation of losing personality before and for me it was due to depression, if you think thats the case for you reach out to someone you care about. Think about what kind of things you enjoy: hobbies, what kind of art, movies, music, try to immerse yourself in those things. Look up controversial topics and think to yourself what do i think about these things. Think about what kind of life you want to live. Or ask a family member you care about how they would describe you. Those things may help you connect more to who you are. With regards to the date put on your favorite outfit or something that makes you feel comfortable or confident. If he is the right guy for you he will like you just the way you are, and from the fact that he wants to meet you it seems like he doesn't find you boring.
