I’ve always had self-confidence issues and social anxieties, but pretended
I didn’t in front of family and even friends, so much to the point that if I act-
ed even a little shy or uncomfortable, they thought I was faking it to make a
joke. Over the past three years with Bangtan and ARMY, I’ve become a bet-
ter version of myself. I still have my anxiety flare ups and bouts of depres-
sion, but I feel so much happier and confident now. Yoongi and Jin being my
biggest helps, but Bangtan, as a whole, really pushed me to just be who I am
not just in the privacy of my bedroom, but out in the real world.

Hi, I’m Bilchame. My public persona is that of a shy, lack of social skills
and self-confidence.Well, I was just confused of who I actually am because
sometimes I can feel comfy around some people even if they’re strangers and
not feel shy to interact with them, sometimes I would be the first one to ap-
proach them.But I also thought that it depends on some specific people or
situation. Since I started to stan BTS I started to gain some self-confidence
that no matter what flaws you have, just show your true selves, I do admit
that I’m a bit shy but I know I’m progressing. Thanks to my Kings BTS.
