im obsessed with trying to get people to like me.

. . .

i have no clue why, bu lately i have been overly nice, no fake, but a little nicer than usual . . i cant seem to figure i out though. . . its as if whenever i see someone i dont know, i switch into this mode where im overly helpful. im scared that people will think im weird (not that they already dont) but this is bothering me

Here’s a good webpage with information on how to stop seeking approval from others:

I hope you will find it useful :)

how obsessed? like making your life much more difficult for yourself in order to help someone?

I noticed you seemed nice and friendly on that lets-get-to-know-people post the other day. Something like that makes perfect sense even if others don’t respond much — someone has to be positive and social. If we all risk it then life becomes better. Sorry if this isn’t very relevant, it’s just something I noticed.

not that much, because being an ambassador i need to be helpful and happy at most times, but i feel like i act weird when im overly helpful.

ah, it doesn’t sound like a problem to me. if your biggest concern is that other people might think it’s odd that you’re so nice and helpful, then you’re good. ;)

as long as it doesn’t make you unhappy, i wouldn’t worry much about what other people think.
