Life has felt like a performance for so long I think I forgot how to just exist and be myself, I vaguely remember my 8th grade year as probably the peak before the fall, I was very popular, had lots of friends and was very pro-social, had zero problems talking to girls and multiple girls actually had crushes on me somehow even with me being 5'0 90 lbs soaking wet. I have no idea how I ended up this way or what caused the transition, but now I'm just stuck in my head constantly battling my anxiety and thoughts, I feel like im going insane sometimes given the fact I can have full blown conversations with myself in my head and constantly hear my inner voice when i'm not occupied with something and sometimes even when i am. And I mask it very well, I still have friends and hang out with girls and would probably be considered normal and chill by my peers but that's not what I'm worried about. I just want to feel normal, like I'm going through the motions of life without viewing it from an outside perspective, constantly judging myself and others internally. Any advice or thoughts?
