I have seen this online and offline, in my own family, my work life, and in my friend circle. It seems like some people care so much about being liked that they will change themselves in order to please the people around them. Not being true to themselves. I feel like this just sets you up for disaster. Once you decide to start being yourself, people will think you changed. Wouldn't you rather be liked for who you are and not a false sense of your own self? I never understood this. I mean I did it as a teen. I wanted to be liked, have friends, fit in, etc. but I grew out of that.
Why do you think people do this as adults? Do you think there is a psychological reason behind it?
