Do you pretend to be someone else?

I prefer being just me all the time even if that means nobody notices me; even if that means I don't have many friends; even if that means I will not be popular. The secret of happiness in life is to accept who you are and once you do this, you will automatically attract friends with a similar wavelength and more importantly, friends who will accept you for who you are and not for who they wish you to be. It's best not to wear a mask as sooner or later the mask will come off. And one's false self will be revealed. And this will cause unhappiness.

Hi, I don't like to pretend to be someone else for noticing by others. I am happy with whatever I have and how I am. There is no need to please others by pretending as we are nice. It is like cheating someone. While making friendship I don't care about the richness or looks of the person. I have different types of friends rich, poor,handsome, not good looking.

No, I see no benefit in pretending to be the type of person that I am not. I agree that it is preferable to be popular, but not at the expense of not being myself. If I pretended to be a different person then I would need to keep up that pretence when in their company. I would rather have friends who like me for the person that I am so that I can continue to act normally and be much more relaxed.

I agree. You should never pretend to be someone else, you should just be you.

When I was a lot younger it was more important for me to be accepted or feel liked and loved. But I got older and I have learn a lot through the years that went by how the world is how the gimmick works. Since I have God as my best friend I don't worry about trying to please anybody just to have them for friend, because you cannot trust fully anybody that is around you.

I'm not into this.. I'm happy for what I am now and for what I have and it's hard to pretend when you cannot stand toward it. and I don't have to imitate so I can be noticed.. in life, we are different individual we are satisfy what life give in then it will be just fine.. Happy mylotting!

Hi! I do not pretend to be something else. I am what I am. Take me or leave me (this is my motto). I do not know the art of pretending and showing me as someone else, which am not.

i prefer being a follower than a leader. and being with a few friends who accepts you for what you are despite your faults and inadequacies is worth more than a multitude who admired you by putting up an impressive personality. what will happen once you fall short of their expectations? will they still give you the same quality of attention/affection?

leateagee when one is young --he/she will be interested in being noticed more by a person of opposite gender. it is fine. after becoming 60 now i would like to be what i am. only people interested in making undue gains may pose as someone else. that is why i posted my own photo. many members post film star photos, squares, circles etc. as avatar.

no, i don't like to pretend , i am very happy the way i am, and my friends like me/should like and accept me the way i am , but not through acting or pretending. such relations doesn't last longer.

I do not pretend to be someone else but myself always. we are different and sometimes we like attention so acting like a super star is okay sometimes... I know some people who resemble some superstars and they start to carry themselves like those super stars they resemble. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.
