I prefer to be myself

I have had several experiences in life where I thought I need to be someone else other than myself to fit in. I learned the hard way, that it did not matter either way. People will accept you for who you are if they are genuine and respect you for you you truly are.
Do you agree? Why or why not?

Yes, when I was younger and very childish I was experimenting many ways of living, what I was or wanted, I find out I agree and like the way I am, I don't want to be anybody else, wish to have this or that but not be a whole other person. I think we are destined to love ourselves, thanks to God.

Hey there!
Are you really a ranger? Like Aragorn 
, if so that's really cool.
I like diversity, it's really funny how most of the people dress the same, most are using a trending hair cut... that's not normal. Now if we all followed our hearts we would see more accomplishments and less envy.

I agree, we don't need to pretend to be accepted by many. It's hard to pretend and not being yourself. If we do that, we will only fool ourselves and we are like a person trying to build an image which is not exactly who we are.
If we like to have real friends, we must show our real personality. Isn't it great to find people who will accept us for exactly who we are and not by what we have or the image we portray?

I agree, being yourself is more fulfilling rather than having something in exchange of the pretense of living someone else's life.If you landed a really good job because you pretended to be someone you're not, I think it will be hard for you to keep it as it will hinder you from doing what you do best just to keep up with your pretense. If you have a partner which you met by introducing yourself as someone that you're not, that relationship is bound to go south once you guys start getting serious. it just isn't worth the trouble and the pain. The truth is always easier to embrace. And this may already be old, but it will always be true, that it will always set you free.
