Therefore, it can be said that we are born as ourselves. We are overdoing it, trying to make everyone happy. Why do you want to look perfect just because you are trying to be someone else? Want to be liked by many people even though you try hard to imitate others. It’s always better to be yourself rather than trying to become someone else. Because when you become yourself you will be liked because you are what you are. That way you will be perfect in the eyes of others and will be appreciated by others. Be yourself, because you are different from them or anyone. Never change yourself so that you do not reflect yourself. Never try to be someone else, because you have unique characteristics that no one has. Be yourself with your emotions and privileges. If you see other people as so special that you want to imitate, so that you yourself look special in the eyes of others, what you are doing is wrong, if you really want to look special. Actually, you don’t need to be someone else and imitate other people, just do it according to yourself until someone sees that you are special without having to imitate others. So don’t ever try to be someone else. Simply be yourself and other people will see in you that you are different. That you are unique and not the same as her, him or them. You are special in your own way and the uniqueness that you have. Because when you become yourself, you will be perfect yourself and perfect when other people like or even hate you.
