Being ourselves is the key to gain more friends and to gain trust of people around us. Sometime we pretend someone else if we are not yet comfortable with our new companions, because we don't want them to dislike our real attitude or personality. Sometimes we pretend to be as fine and as quiet as we are outside our house to gain positive first impression from other people but actually who we really are, whether we are a loud person or a a joker people will like us more if we will be ourselves and not pretend anyone else, We should not pretend just to please others because later on they will find out who we really are and it might turn them off. If they really our friends they would accept us for who we are. How about you? Are you the same inside and outside you house? Are you always being yourself. Can you share with us how you act when you are with other people's company.

I try to act the same out of my house, but i generally am more comfortable and confident at home than i am out and about just because i am a shy person and have always been. Obviously i'm not always shy but alot of the time i am. It would be nice to get to know more people out and about but i tend to stick to my family and current friends.

I like to think I'm the same person inside and outside of my house, but I know I act differently with different groups of people. Most people know that I'm shy and quiet until I feel out my surroundings and the people around me. Like with my parental units, I'm more outspoken and sarcastic. When I'm with my friends that I've known for years, I'm kind of bossy.
When I was in school, I might have curbed by personality to please others but not anymore. I am who I am. I might show different aspects of my personality to different sets of people, but I do not act out of character to please others anymore.

Yes, you are correct. We do not have to be someone else, just to make others happy. I always be myself in front of everyone. But sometimes circumstances force me to not be myself. However, in this case, I do not do to make others sympathetic to me. But for myself, so I was safe.

i always want to be myself but fail most of time.sometimes i was very popular but i know they like the person whom i was pretending to be.i was popular but i'm not happy.maybe the most important reason not to be myself is that i am not confident of myself.do you agree with me?

I try to be the same kind of person whether i am inside or outside my home. I don't need to be a different person just because i went out the door in to the public.
