Have you ever tried to fit in somewhere, or be accepted or liked so much that you lose yourself in the process? Maybe a group of friends, a friend, a cruch...What did you do? How did you realize it? How did you get yourself back? Was it hard?

Wow, you must be a very confident person. I have done this in the past as a younger me. I am not in this situation at the time, but I was just curious on others experiences with this. Thanks!

Your questions usually touch the sides of life which are often unnoticed but are sensitively significant. It had primarily happened to me a few times when I was a kid and wasn't very popular amongst the guys and just had one friend since kindergarten. To get with the guys I tried doing things like being rough to people, and insensitive sometimes. But that wasn't me, and hence it hurt and so I myself couldn't stand it for more than a few days.

yes, I can understand that been there before when I was little. Unfortunately most of us fall into a trap like that, good for you for realizing it though and deciding to change it =)
