I have this problem in my little head that my personality is rubbish and i dont fit in.When i meet a new person and think his personality is great because everyone likes him and he gets on with everyone i feel that i need to have his personality and try to change mine.I go through this everyday changing who i am and its starting to really get me down.I'm in my teens, are these normal feelings.I think that maybe its normal and that its just the way u go about discoveing who u are.I'm really confused and am to scared to asked my freinds if they have the same feelings.Could i have some sort of disorder?

It sounds pretty normal to me.
As long as you have some stability in you life.
You need to know that you have a family that loves you and some friends that will love you even as you experiment with your personality.

Matty- There are 4 replies to your previous post here ("Do I have BPD?)...I do hope you read them. You also have a lot of replies to your concerns on the Open To All Topics Board.
I wish we all could reassure you more. You do not have a "disorder". The only problem, based on your other posts, seems to be that you are unhappy. It is normal to have all kinds of conflicting feelings and emotions in your teens! I bet some of your friends have the same feelings and are just as scared or embarrassed to ask YOU! Don't be afraid of being honest and open about your feelings. It makes people feel closer to you, not more distant.
