Are you comfortable in your own skin, so to speak? Do you basically never feel self-concious in your daily interactions with people?

I think I might not really be that comfortable with myself, yet, at this point in my life. I try to be...but I also notice that I find myself worrying about whether someone will like me if I say "this" or "that"...and even though I know that you can't please everyone all the time, I find myself making apologies for myself when I probably shouldn't. For example, if I'm about to express a strong opinion that I have (and I'm face-to-face with people), a lot of times I'll preface it with "I'm sorry to say this, but..." or "I hate to say this, but..." or "Sorry, but...". Also I never, ever criticize anyone in real life, ever. In my head, yes, but I never point out that what they're doing isn't right, or that they have a hole in their shirt, or ANYTHING. Even when they're definitely, factually misinformed about something and they're spouting off at the mouth about it, I just smile and say nothing, or pretend that I believe them just to humor them. It's weird. I don't know if I'm being overly tactful, or fake. I'm not trying to be fake, in fact I always am honest if I'm *asked* what I think about something (but still, tactful)...it's just that I never offer my unbridled, unedited, non-tactful opinion about anything or anyone, in real life. Hmmm. lol. I just felt the need to vent about my own damn self, I don't know. lol.
