Loosing Yourself

It is very easy to not be yourself and pretend to be someone else – You see someone, analyze their personality, preferences, and relationship to you and behave in the way you wish to be perceived by them. You must have encountered cases of,  how a rough-and-tough guy becomes prince charming to get a girl or how a jokester acts serious around serious people so that no one gets offended. That is the reason why some people keep different friend groups, as they use a different identity with each group. Surely there are benefits of changing yourself in a given situation so as to meet the requirement. But you must remember that every time you wear a different face, the real you is lost somewhere, and with enough repetition, you can lose yourself in a pile of masks. Remember it will never feel quite right either, because the real you is the only version that feels completely natural.
