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

Heres the thing, if you always put others first, and you last, others will pick up on where you place yourself on the list of importance.
You have to realize that you are just as valid and important as anyone else. Like, why would you not be?
When you understand that you are just as important as anyone else,others will get that feeling as well.
Put yourself first, be who you are and if others cant appreciate that, then you dont need them in your life anyways
