Lately acquaintances are happy, talkative, animated around me.
I haven't changed but I wonder if people's perception of me is changing? Improving?
I'm down fourteen pounds.
I hope more of this is in store.
Is it just me or is this common?

Rep Power: 357932 | | | you sure you haven't changed... you're feeling pretty good about being down 14lbs and feeling better about yourself -people might be picking up on that

I know I'm happier (generally) so I tend to see other people happier (generally).

Rep Power: 3156 | | | Yeah I have found that as I lose weight I dont feel as intimidated by people and therefore I am more sociable, leading them to be more sociable towards me as well
I am still pretty shy and intimidated by a lot of people, but I can see an improvement, I cant wait to see how my self confidence improves and helps this as I lose even more weight. |

Rep Power: 854 | | Maybe a little of both. 100% noticed how suddenly super-friendly and helpful the male species became in direct proportion to my shrinking waistline. But I also think as I became more confident and happy and generally more enthusiastic in outlook it made those around me react in a more open and friendly way....I'm guessing you're putting out "I'm a happy, cheerful person" signals (maybe without realizing it) and people around you are responding.

I have been heavy my whole life so I have never really gone through that learning process of how to deal with boys lol. I guess im socially behind in that aspect, so it will definitely interesting and probably hard to catch up. |

Rep Power: 0 | | somethingnew912, You'll be amazed how quickly you will adapt to the change. Just take it one boy at a time! 
I agree that it's what you are sending out to others that really changes the way people are to you. I'm sure the sexyness helps but it's the feel good from the inside out sort of thing. Amazing how it can catch on to others!!
