Just keep doing what you're doing. There's a line in the DR book that goes something like: "Sometimes DBing will make you feel like you are insane, and sometimes you might be" (I'm sure I butchered it). It seems like doing the opposite is bad because it feels wrong but that is what a 180 is, going against what you've done in the past.
Judging from your posts, it seems like you have a great, bubbly personality. Go out and use it to your advantage!
I know you'll do fine. Enjoy this beautiful So Cal day!!
