Are you afraid to be yourself?

I know a lot of people may fear retaliation and being ostracized from others and all. OK. But at the end of the day, I am not afraid of who I am at all. have grown to know that life is not a popularity contest, at least that is my view.My view is, if you are not true to yourself, then you are not truly living life.

There are times, when I do feel afraid of being myself. I guess a lot of it was due to the fact that I'd often feel pressured by my parents, that they'd want me to do everything (or a lot of things) according to what they want me to do.

You know, I completely agree with you. We should live our lives the way we want to. We have the right to do so. Thank you for your comment. It's good to know that I'm not alone.

I think you have to jump in and be prepared to be called on what you write. If you are open to criticism, and believe what you write, and are not going to cause problems to family, friends or career … if you get insulted, who really cares what some random internet troll has to say? :)

Doctors who deal with schzoprehia patients think everybody has multiple personalities - Sometimes we are just ourselves in a certain gropu of people while at other times, we are completely different and when you think about it..It is basically Good and Bad sides, Naughty and Nice sort of thing!
