Went from shy to 'obnoxious and loud'?

So my whole life I was known as the shy girl bc of my social anxiety disorder but now I'm on Prozac so I'm starting to be myself and not worry too much about what other people think.... But now I've been called obnoxious loud and immature since 'being myself' I make a lot of jokes (nothing insulting or racist or discriminatory) and I ask a lot of questions. People used to find me rude when I was too shy too talk and now they call me obnoxious when I'm just being myself idk what to do its making me just want to go back to being a loner...

    If Prozac is helping you and you feel better then who cares what anyone else thinks. You have the right to be happy. As long as you are being kind to others and not hurting anyone, I think that you are doing great. None of us are perfect, we all have quirks and imperfections but life would be very boring if we were all exactly the same.

    The definition of normal is average and who wants to be average:-)

    There should only be two people's opinions that you should take into consideration.

    Yours and the doctor prescribing you your meds.

    If you and your doctor are happy with your progress and neither of you feel that you are obnoxious then continue to be your happy new self.

    I have the same shitty problem.I'm always shy and people tell me not to be shy and talk more but when I talk more they find me obnoxious.The only thing you can do is set a limit for yourself and don't show yourself way too much.Just don't talk way too much but don't just stay quiet all the time.
