You can't take your entire personality apart and rebuild it completely new. You are who you are, for better or for worse, and accepting everything about yourself, whether you like or not, is just something you're gonna have to do, otherwise you're gonna hate yourself a lot more than you need to (If you're the type to just naturally be down on yourself, then you may have to live with that too.)
You wouldn't hold it against yourself for being short, or having blonde hair, so why hold it against yourself that you as a person might have some quirks and flaws that you can't control any more than your height? This isn't a "You rock, and don't you ever forget it!" kind of speech. You may have some legitimately serious personality issues that may have negative effects on your life, which may be pretty much impossible to put a pretty spin on to make yourself feel better about, but it is what it is. You are who you are, so there's no point in railing against the universe for not being able to change yourself. Just be an awkward weirdo and move on.

Being awkward and a downer are due to my depression and anxiety. I'm fine with being a weirdo, but if I can't be around people who can accept me for me anywhere, then I don't know if I can deal with that. I'm just upset that people I tend to connect with don't want anything to do with me, and tell me off or ignore me. I'm tired of people thinking I'm cool on first impression and then ditch me the moment they know I have a s
hit personality.
