I think if we look at this closely its not so much about you having problems letting the real you out, you’ve already shown you can do this it’s more about acceptance of this.

Everyone will question a personality change, if the quiet person goes to loud overnight people will ask why the change – its all about consistency. If you continue to show empathy consistently they will adjust their mental picture slowly to the new you. IF then reverted they would then question that again.

My recommendation is be true to yourself its when you are the most happiest, your friends will adjust slowly so give them time and your empathy will spread, you may find some of your friends show more also. Compassion is infectious!

There are many quotes or articles on this, but in a brief line stay true to you and let them say what they will, they will change slowly if they are your true friends but just don’t expect it overnight.
