I'm tired of this mask I have been wearing for all my life so people will think I'm a happy person that is energetic, but in reality I'm not happy... I want people to know that this mask that I've been wearing for so long isn't me but when I talk to people Its just habit that I can't break anymore...
I'm tired of people continuously saying that I'm a "Hyper, funny, energetic, awesome girl" but I know I'm not, I use to be scared to show the real me but now I'm tired of acting like somebody that I'm not... would people still care if I finally reveal the me I've been hiding for so long?...

To many, I think a mask comes with the territory. It's easy to be concerned (for very good reasons) that people might not...react well unless you have your mask on. The worst part of a mask is that it eventually teaches us how to lie. No point in wearing one if you can't shove out a "I'm doing fine" on command, after all.
It's incredibly brave of you to want to take that mask off. The...results of doing that are so varied and unpredictable, it's really hard to say what might happen. To me, anyone who would stop caring about you after you say that you need to be cared for were never true friends in the first place. No one knows the people around you as well as you do, but to me, your family and your best of friends, if absolutely no one else, should stand by your side. In fact, you might find yourself getting even closer to them, since you won't need to hold them at arm's length anymore.
It's a fantastic thing that you want to take that mask off. It's a daunting thing to do. I wish you the best of luck.

Then take it off dear, the ones that truly love you will help you to get through your pain and make you realize that you can be the person you want to be. No matter who that person may be.

Explain to people that you have been hiding your true self, help them to understand that you do need help, reach for it, and embrace it. As they say, it will set you free.

I use to be the same, hiding, keeping people from truly seeing me. I'm happier now that I use to be and people do see the real me. At least the ones I let in do.

Then show the real you, open up to a couple people. The ones you trust the most.

If they don't, then you be hurt, but that pain heals. Just remember that you need to open up to someone. And the ones that truly love you, they won't leave your side.
