Direct Eye Contact

I have this problem where I'll let strangers read the things I've written and judge me based on the way I form my sentences and the way I tell a story or express an emotion, but I get embarrassed if my own mother were to ask to read my writing. When my best friend asks me "So, what are you writing about?", sometimes I lie. I'm too embarrassed to try to explain the subject matter. I'm already weird enough and what if they think I'm weirder? I'm a very insecure person. I guess it comes with the territory.
