Pretending to Be Someone You're Not

Many times we are tempted by external situations to pretend something that we are not, many times we forget who we are, where we come from, and even where we want to go, they say that a person can have more than 20 personalities, psychologically speaking this should alarm us because it is not normal to use so many personalities in this life, something is not right.
There are so many people who in recent years have decided to forget their true personality and essence, just to fit into a group to be "fashionable", unfortunately, we have a society where it is worth more a nice appearance, a submissive attitude that imitates, to be original, unique and real, for wanting to fit in, we forget to live, to dream, we begin to kill that person we should be, just to be liked by a group.
Many pretend to be something they are not because they feel ashamed of where they come from, of their families, of their roots, and I can understand that, however, we can not cover the sun with a finger, if you do not like something in your life, improve it, change it, but do not pretend because at some point that mask, that mask will fall, and you will be exposed and as my grandmother used to say: "The remedy will be worse than the disease".
Fighting against the current many times is exhausting and by wanting to do more, you will be doing less, do not feel ashamed of yourself, do not feel ashamed of where you come from, feel ashamed if you want to change what you are for something of lies, for a being that only imitates, a being that breathes because he sees others breathing, that is not life, do not lose the sense of living, to enjoy, to achieve and realize what you dream of, looking for what you have not lost.
I know so many people who today say they are something they have never been, they are so ashamed of their lives, that they dare to pretend that their parents are dead, that their family comes from royalty, but because of life they have to work as waiters in a bar that lives more alone than a cemetery at night, these people are empty inside, they know that their life is a lie, that they have to live with a false smile on their face, while inside they are sad, lonely and frustrated.
Don't be one of these people, who don't know where they are, or where they are going, value what you are today, the little or much you have, maybe your life is not perfect, but let's see, what life is perfect? not even those who have thousands of dollars in their accounts are perfect, so live, enjoy, accept yourself, respect yourself, love yourself and if you don't like something, improve it, work on it, but don't try to hide it or pretend that you are not that, because you will be making a big mistake, you will be killing yourself little by little and because of that, when you realize the big mistake you made, it will be too late to remedy it.
When I was in high school or as it is called in my country Liceo, I was in high school, and my classmates were all from wealthy families, we were very few who came from humble families so to speak, these people always tried to overshadow and humiliate us by the luxuries they were given, a new car for weekends, a club with luxurious boats or maybe a vacation in Cancún or Punta Cana, however, these kids, inside were unhappy, the parents lived traveling and they lived alone at home, without that family love, their lives were fake, they had everything but at the same time, they had nothing because when you lack love when you lack attention, money is enough.
One of my classmates from a humble family, let himself be seduced by money, and the latest model cars, and pretended a life he didn't have, he pretended to be from a rich family, and the saddest part of it was that he lost everything he had, it turns out that the rich kids were using drugs and he didn't know about their vices, but just to fit in and so they wouldn't talk bad about him, he dared to try it, he almost lost his life, they continued as if nothing had happened and he was left with that latent vice, he lost his family, his studies and his life, just for pretending something he wasn't, for wanting to fit in, sad right?.

Shame is just a part of why people pretend to be someone they’re not. Mainstream schooling and corporate word demand you to fit in with what they think is an appropriate behaviour. That’s one of the main reasons why I quit corporate word.
