Kristen starts by explaining that she's very co-dependent and desperately wants people to like her. (Amen to that, the struggle is constant.)

She explains that while she is definitely a very bubbly person, often her anxiety is lurking beneath the surface.
She recognizes that "it's not very healthy" to let her feelings get hurt when she's not liked, but the fear of rejection is something that affects her very genuinely.

She said she often changed her personal interests to match her friends' so she would feel more accepted.
And she gets really honest by admitting that she didn't fully recognize she was doing that until she was in her 30's.
