Okay, I know the title is funny but here's the situation.
Actually, I am a confident dude and a cocky one. I love to joke around but not necessarily the center of attention. I can be cocky sometimes. When I hangout with people, I can unleash the beast within me if you know what I mean. Now, when I am with my girlfriend, I turned from the other edge. My confidence shrunk to a tiny piece. When we both talk, I talk only less compared to when I am with my friends, I can talk a lot and make jokes around. As long as she is around me, I feel awkward. Me and my girlfriend have been dating for four years and this had never happened before. This only happened this semester. I dont know what the hell is wrong with me. I love her so much and with that, I want to change. People told me that I did that so that I could behave but why is my senses telling me that I am pushing her away? I can also sense that she is bored with me or even likes to hangout with our friends more compared to me. I want to bring back who I am before and stop this "shyness" thing if its actually shyness.
Please help me
