I Pretend To Be Someone I'M Not

I sometimes feel like I'm pretending to be someone I'm not in order to please others and I don't mean to do it on purpose but it seems to have a big effect on me and I'm scared that if I show who I really am it will end badly for me. I find myself always trying yo make others happy without thinking about what makes me gappy but I always end up in the wrong crowd of people who dont care about how I feel and instead of speaking up about it I stay quiet and I keep myself miserable so that they are happy and most of the time they don't acknowledge that I'm there but I am too scared to say anything in case I end up alone

@SW-User There ARE many people out there who will accept you as you are

@SW-User No, they are not rare. We really don't spend much time looking for our tribe...we give up too easily, and sometimes...without realizing it, have slightly unreasonable expectations of others. They are everywhere though.
