This generation is so obsessed with what others think. This generation is so focused on being accepted by others rather than themselves. This is a message for people who seek satisfaction from the wrong people. True friends and your family will accept you for who you are and will help you realize that it's time to stop caring about what others think of you and start caring about what you think of yourself.

1. What good comes from it?

Will changing yourself to be accepted by others help you pass that exam on Thursday? Will it help you get that promotion you've been wanting? No, it won't. Only you can do all of that, the real you.

2. Do you even recognize yourself anymore?

Not everyone, but a lot of people will do anything to be accepted. Even if it means going against every moral and every belief they once had.

3. The happiness will fade.

The happiness you think you have right now will fade. You will realize that the people that surround you aren't the kind of people you really want.

4. Not so true friends.

The people that you change yourself for to seek satisfaction from aren't your true friends. They won't be there when times get tough.

I used to care about what people thought of me. I let it run my life to a point where I no longer recognized myself. I got so lost in who I thought I should be rather than who I wanted to be. The people I let surround myself and be associated with were not the one's I needed. At the time I thought I needed them in order to be accepted, but then I realized, the only acceptance I need is from myself.
