change your actions‚ and you morph your personality to fit what you think everyone around you expects of you. Why do we let ourselves succumb to negative social expectations? Social expectations limit who you are. You can’t display your personality if you are changing it to make the people around you happy. Limitations on who you can be will only hurt you in the long run.
