Do you Pretend to be Someone that you're not Just to Attract People ??

Don't you consider her as a girl with lots of personality? being able to mingle with different people since she tries everything to have a good topic with them.. well if not, then pretentious people are terrible. those are the people with bad intentions.. in social networks, they are posers..

I wanted to be somebody else when I was smth like 13-14 because I didn't feel good with myself. But as I grew older, I realized that I really have to be myself around the others. It can happen that you make friends with your fake personality. you cannot be like that forever and one day you will show your true face. and maybe you will be alone, or disappoint the others. I prefer to be me, to defend my opinion, disagree politely with the others and all the things that make a person have a real personality.

Well that is unfair!

I've always been myself around other people, it's just too much work to pretend to be someone I'm not just to attract people. It's just easier to be who I am and if they don't like it, that's their problem. The only time I would change something about myself is if it made me a better person.

I know that I pretend to be someone else that I'm not to a guy that I want to impress if I feel that we're not going to start a close relationship or anything and just want to have fun for the moment. But if it is someone that I want to become close with, I know that in order to create a close relationship I have to be completely honest if I want to gain their trust. Because I know that if I lied to someone about something and we were close and they found out that I lied to them, I would be torn. I know that lying to someone even if it is only a relationship for a few days is wrong, but its how I keep my life exciting. I think it might be a fear of rejection. If I want to have fun for the night, but tell them something about myself and they decide that they don't want to pay attention to me. So I think that that is why I do it for people who are not a big part of my life.

Some times others want you to be something else because they do not like actual you..sometimes you need to be something else to make you work easy..that is a human nature ..nothing wrong in that ..ppl want you to change let it be ..whats wrong in that just change for a while :) :)

In my opinion pretending to be someone you are not is not a wise thing to do. Eventually something or someone will rub you the wrong way and the true you or the truth will come out. If you put up a misinterpetation of yourself, you can't let your guard down for one moment you have to stay alert to keep up that pretended appearance. So why not be yourself from the beginning and you will always be in your comfort zone. Be blessed and have a great day.

It's good to be yourself always. Just learn how to deal with different kind of people but don't pretend to be anyone else. It's a nice thing that other people will accept you for who you are and not for what they want you to become.

I can't pretend but when am there in that situation i guess it can't be helped. knowing you need to talk to people, it's not bad to talk to people. of course,when there's time that it's off topic then i wouldnt' intervene.

I don't pretend to be someone i am not just to attract someone's attention. this person will either like me for who i am or they will not. Pretending to be what you are not is dishonest and misleading. What kind of trust can you have in a relationship if it is based on ptetense to begin with?

No, I do not do that. In a new environment I tend to listen mostly and busy studying new people characters. And I tend to tell the truth, so my friends sometimes had to give me a clue before I babbling everything.

I definitely don't pretend to be someone I'm not. Eventually they will see the real person you are and your going to look silly for being so dishonest. Unfortunately, I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve so there is no pretending even a little with me. People know what I like and don't like, what makes me sad, they know it all after a very short time of knowing me because I can't hide my emotions well at all! Your friend should be happy with who she is and if she isn't then she should change a little if she wants to but not pretend to be something she's not.

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not

its better to be true to yourself atleast you know that you didnt cheat the person by faking your identity.. faking is cheating right? let him/her love you for what who and what you are..
