Why are some teenagers afraid to show who they really are? ?

I dont understand... Before i was honest to myself.. i hate those who pretend i hate those who lie to themselves.. but when my classmates changed and become more sociable i changed. I became the person who hides her real self... i dunno.. i hated myself for that.Why are some teenagers afraid to show who they really are? ?
Every teen goes threw it.





You are discovering yourself and trying to fit in.


So what. It's human nature to want to belong in a group (history of tribes.)





So, You want to fit in and haven't quite figured out how to use your authentic personality or maybe it's a bit scary to expose your real emotions cause you don't want to get picked on or whatever. Well, that is ok to do as long as you are not hurting yourself or anyone else in the process. You are learning how to socially integrate and that is a skill that you will need later in life too. So what if you go with the trend flow for a bit.


Dont' hate yourself for it, it's normal ( again unless you are hurting yourself or somebody else with your 'fake self'.)





Eventually as you grow you will form your own group or be able to have the appreciation for the DIFFERENCES between you and your friends as well as what is ';accepted';.


You will connect over more than similiarities. You will change many times in life. Your core will hopefully stay pure and well intentioned through all changes.





I wish you the best!Why are some teenagers afraid to show who they really are? ?
most people dont like who they are or some people cant fit in to a type of people they wanna hang out with and young people naturally try to act like something they are not but as we grow older most up us learn to be happy with who we really are i say most cuz not everyone overcomes this but it is totally normal i think
