Am i crazy? (・_・;)

My friends told me I care too much about what other people think. Before I knew it, I had only been able to lie in the real world, and I was no longer able to say what I really think. I'm scared to be honest with my friends. Am I crazy after all? If anyone has any advice on speaking honestly, I'd appreciate it if you could share it with me. 
What i would suggest is just be honest- even though it’s hard. If your friend are real ones then they will stick with you! If you keep lying then one day they’ll know and you’ll lose them or you wont be able to keep up with the lies anymore. Just come clean and remember that you’re an amazing person and you deserve to be able to be yourself around other people 🙂

Thank you for your advice. But I don't know where to start. I've lied so much...

What’s something important to you? Like maybe a hobby or an interest which you’ve hidden. Start talking about it and gradually add more things. Have you lied about serious stuff or just interests?

Things I don't want to do. Things I hate. I can't talk about those things. To maintain a relationship with a friend, I tell myself that I like the things the other person likes, and then I find out later and somehow continue the conversation.

Ok. Maybe just start talking about your interests as if they're new interests or ones you've decided to pick up again after a break. See how it's taken from there!
