I'm scared to be myself

I was told that I could possibly have a raise, but i need more personality. That i need to come out of my shell.

Sometimes ill plan out something to say to someone but then ill bail on it or go only half way because I'm scared the person wont understand me. That maybe what I say is to odd.

I know deep down my personality is strong possibly too strong. And it scares me it makes me unconfortable with myself, I'm scared of being judged for it. Im a dorky goof who cares a lot, because i care a lot it scares me into not sharing myself with people.

I think I'm gonna start pushing myself into saying two goofy things a day. This should help me.
