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

Wanting to please others and give a good sense of opinion about yourself is natural I think I certainly always try to be good in eyes of family and friends etc career bosses... also hate most the feeling of if I have let someone down.
Difficult as I know it is do not lose yourself and do not try to be someone you are not just to please someone who does not deserve you unless they love and appreciate you for who you are naturally and for everything you are
