Ok, so I'm not the type to judge people for who they are, but there's one thing that really bugs me about people. I don't get the point in why people are ok when they're alone with you but when they're with other people, they are a different person (In a bad way!) I just don't see why people can't just be themselves instead of trying to be someone they're not?

People would want to blend in with a group of people to be accepted. It is normal to show your best to people whom you just met recently. And once you get comfortable with them, you slowly reveal who you really are.

I guess so. But that is the risk they are willing to take. Well, it's their loss....

Loved your observation.When people have insecurities ,fear of expressing them self,
have got useless peer-pressure in their life then they develop a different complex in their brain .Also fear of rejection is a big factor which plays unconsciously in their brain. huhhhh........
Very few people Who are fearless ,they feel what i am that i am .So BE YOURSELF ALWAYS IN YOUR LIFE.

I think being around people we trust we show our real self mostly . Some people are into pleasing the crowd and that is the sad part , they neglect their true personality to fit in a group . Because I like being myself , I sometimes make enemy but I dont mind because enemy is good .

I think some people are just sickly trying to live up to expectations and to fit in. I mean, it's unhealthy... they are so afraid of being alone or mocked that they take up different personas. And then I wonder, the persona they show when they're with me, can be fake, too. It's a hazardous game. They don't stand up for themselves, they cover their real feelings... it's going to culminate in them losing the gist of who they are and being driven crazy... especially as if anyone finds out that they act differently or if they get tired of kissups, they are going to be left alone - in the situation they wanted to avoid first time.
