Being you is what sets you apart from every one else. There are people that would go to the end of the earth for other people. Also people that strive on knocking people down that might not be as "cool" as them, or fit into thier group of friends. How ever you look at it its good to be different. But are some people that work hard to be a part of a certain clique so different. To me it seems that a lot of people that most would call "fake" try a little to hard to fit in. In order for them to fit in they work on being like other people. I dont understand it. I'm the kind of person that likes being me no matter what people think. I would rather be hated for being different than liked for being like everyone else. How do you feel? What kind of person are you? Have you ever changed who you were just to fit in? Feel free to say whats on your mind, mabey you can bring a light to my eyes that ive never seen before....

Interesting question...I think that in high school I occasionally tried to change to fit in, but I think that to some extent, all young people do that a little bit. Now that does not describe me at all. I am proud of who I am and wouldn't change just to please people. I think that overall I'm a good person - I'm kind and generous. I try not to be selfish. I try to put other people ahead of myself while still providing for my own needs. Some people get so caught up in what other people need that they forget to take care of their own needs. I am happy with the person that I am and there isn't much I would change. Of course, I do put the needs of my children ahead of my own, but that's pretty common for a mother :)

I hear what your saying completly. I'm 20 years old and still being so young i get to see the best at work. I know i have done some changing, but realizing at the same time relizing that i would rather have good character traits. Thats how I always made my friends, and I have plenty of them. Yes doing for the young ones is probobly one of the least selfish things a person can do, and as any good parent would do thier kids would come first. Thanks for your opinion. I hope mabey someone will realize something they never knew before.

I try my best not to change myself for others. I firstly wanted to be a good role model for my children. I think I did pretty good with them. They haven't killed anyone as of yet.In turn, they have grown up and they learned how to be independent thinkers and to be themselves no matter what. I think I would have to say that the times I try to act different than myself have been around my mother. Have you ever met someone that is just impossible to please? Well, my mother is one of those so I have tried to change things about myself in the past to please here. Funny the things we'll do to get approval from our parents sometimes :-)
