Is it necessary to forget your identity your own characteristic and live like others want.Or why to copy others (in lifestyle,dressing,attitude,etc) for becoming an attractive and impressive personality.though you are not comfortable with that get up and surrounding but to be in group and people admire you,you are doing all this. Cant people accept you for what you are why the need to change yourself. try be yourself it will make you happy from inside and you have your identity and unique personality

ya its true why to change for other if they love you then they will definetly accept you for what your are and they wont demand for change yourself.But if the change is for your betterment which increases your respect dignity in other people then y shouldn't we change don't change.Man If the change is done for good purpose then do it.

hello its good to listen such a nice thoughts u have.But here i am discussing about the thing that a person is changing himself/herself not for his or her,for betterment but to copy others to increase their demand only for the sake of being famous in public . But the change is for good purpose which makes you happy as well as people of your surrounding then its well n good.

I have always lived my way, I was never influenced by my peers, I believe it is ok to be different, I can remember going to parties and the only one that didn't drink and smoke but i still had a great time. In fact I quite like being unique and not just follow the crowd and fashion...

Hi there minukemani! I have always been unique. I do not want being just like other people. I would prefer to have my own personality. I always have believed that we do not have to pretend to be who we are not just to make a good impression. I believe that people should be happy and proud about who they are. If people love us, they should accept us for who we really are and not what they want us to be.

You're right... That is my principle in life.. I've always been myself... and People around me respect that.. They know my personality...Nevertheless, I respect people's perception about me..Most of the person I met said that I'm unique co'z I'm frank but sensitive to other's feelings too.... For as long as i'm not hurting anybody.. I could do what I want...What's the most rewarding part of being me....Most of my acquaintances are following my principle in life...And they are happy for doing so...
