Hey this really does nothign to better anyone but are you people afraid of being yourself? I am not to be honest I am a full rebel and will not do what people really tell me if they try and tell me to do something I will do the opposite but if they ask nicely I would probably do what they ask depending on what is but I am also not afraid to act how I want in public. What about you guys?

Yes, there are times when I am afraid to be myself. I used to not be that way until middle school. I went through some tough times during middle school emotionally and it made me very self-conscious of myself until my freshmen year of high school. During that time it was really difficult for me to even talk much less be myself. I’ve grown out of it, though. I had to learn to accept myself and know that I didn’t need anyone’s approval but my own. I will admit that there are still moments when it’s hard for me to express myself but I am much better then I used to be.

After getting through high school fine and being who I am, I actually turned out to be a bit popular, I don't know why. But now, I don't give a damn what people think about it, I just want them to keep their opinions to themselves.

I've had an ex change me in the past because I think he was either embarrassed to be around me with others or because I was too different. But I have vowed never to let anyone change me ever again. So now, I have dress in the emo style and I don't really care any more. I think I have gone past caring and its really a good thing too because I am a paranoid person but I think I've found the confidence to just ignore them.

oh, well I hate acting my true self. I have issues with acting myself around friends at school because I'm afraid they won't like me really...in other words, I act like sasuke! The only time I do act myself is on here because...I don't really know, it's just something about this place thats makes me act like my overly hyper self~!

I agree with you Sazzy who cares what others think? When I was in high school and even now I like pokemon, people made fun of me for it and I tried to convince them, however I finally learned that no matter what you do or say you can not change a persons thoughts so from then on I was myself. I didnt care who I was around, if people can not handel who I trully am, then they can go crall into their own world and leave me alone. and yes I here you on the "after high school being popular" type thing, it happend to me too, however I still have people who hate me but I have alot more friends because I can be myself and they like me for who I am, the same with my girlfriend/fiancee, she loves me for me and will never leave she doesnt care about my mood swings or what I like, hell she played my pokemon ruby game over christmas!!!

Nope, not at all. A person is born alone and dies alone. Well except for twins, they're born together. Oh well.
And no, I'm not afraid of being alone alltogether. As long as I have something entertaining to do, a motive and an adequate job, I have no reason to fear my loneliness.

Me? Afraid to be myself? Yeah, definitely. Mentally ill person gone wild, no one would want that.

Aside from those matters, outside opinions still do influence me, but most of the time I value my opinions above everyone else's. :smirks:
I'll act however I want accordingly, and keep whatever opinions I'd like to keep. Still, common sense holds me back at times... As of yet, I haven't been able to cause a little mischief on April Fool's Day by going into —certain establishments— and wearing things that would shock a few people there. :laughs:

afraid of being myself? nope. I don't live for the people... however I cannot deny that I live in the society and that I am part of it... so there are certain moments where I go with the flow... -when it is covenient for me to fo it- but most of the time I am waaaaaaaay different ^_^ and I am not afraid of it. I like me ^_^, with my imperfections and my strengths.

Afraid, no more like hesitant. I am myself for the most part, but I never really show all of me to people. I will say I act according to the situation that I find myself in. Only around really close friends and family do you see the real me. My sister can bring out the worst and best in me. I just hate to be judged on how you look or act. I neither look or act my age so showing my true self is something that I find extreamly hard to do.
