Why Being Yourself Is So Hard
You can’t please everybody
Have you ever been out and about, whether you were at work or at a social event and you can’t figure out why it’s so hard to be yourself? When we walk out the door and leave the comfort of our homes we are surrounded by people who we may see on a regular basis and people we don’t see.
Even when we’re around the people we do know, we have to put on some sort of act to communicate with them. This can be changing our vocal tones, standing a certain way, or even smiling when we don’t want to.
It’s scary to think that if we were to be our complete selves in front of people we don't live with that they may look at us in a certain way. While this may be the case at first, people will start to act like themselves around you if you start to act like yourself around them.
This is how people become friends and make connections but unfortunately, it can’t be done with everybody you meet. People were raised differently than you, they may have beliefs that you don't believe in as well.
Having a conflict of beliefs and principles is what makes finding connections amongst one another so hard. You can either choose to be yourself or choose to be someone you’re not for a few moments.
