Have you doubt that people will dislike you if you show your true self? have you doubt that they may reject you when you admit you are you? why are we so concern about what they say? are we truly happy by doing what people expected from us rather than doing what we want? I never know I am not happy at all. From this day on, I am going to be myself. I am me, unique and special who are they to judge me? I will never allow them to pick on me again, to tell me what Im gonna do. Most of all, I will do what I want to do from my own decision. Have you ever hold back on you because you're afraid they might not approved?

Being true with ourselves is one one way of giving our self from freedom, an opportunity to be simply me. Freedom of fear, rejection and humiliation. What people say or do against me does not define who I am. People are capable of judging, but their judgments will take no effect on us unless we allow it to hit us. You know your self better than them, their words have no power against you unless you give them the power to control you. Be you... Express yourself.

That's a very good posting. I also sometimes get influenced by my companionship and I try to behave differently to adapt to their behavior. It is indeed difficult because I am not trying to be the real me. That is why, I once decided to be myself and I really ignore what they say wrong about me because I know that my heart is pure and that I am being myself. Now, of course when trying to be yourself, we must respect our friends. But I would simply advise everyone, be happy as you are. We are all born unique, so let's be proud of this uniqueness.

Hello there, I am quite a determined person who will not just listen and follow people tell me what to do. And I will not worry other people won’t like me if I show them the true. I am my own boss and do what I like and think what it is right.

I never care what they say about me. you know, i live in a neighborhood that always come up with prestige. they care too much about what people say. and so, my neighborhood is full of "masked" people. i don't want to be one of them, and I know, being so unique myself in this neighborhood will bring a lot issues behind my back. but, who cares? :)

You can be your self and people are either going to like you or they are not. I have doubts at times what others think but I still keep being myself for I am who I am and they can either except it or not. I try not to let it bother me all that much.

Being yourself, is the first step to loving yourself, being yourself, doesn't mean that you can be however you wish: till, your wishes are limited to good things, then you can go for it. If being yourself, in the right way, no one has the right to contradict you, and if they do, they are aren't ones who can really understand you!
