When you try and please people you will always be changing and lying to fit in. You will try to please everyone but it's impossible so you will end up upset and lonely because no one will truly know you. There's a saying you can only be loved as much as you're known, it's not talking about being famous but letting people know who you are good and bad without holding back. I used to hate it when I heard that saying because I was that person locking themselves up trying to fit in. I became an extrovert being crazy and weird but I wanted all my weirdness to be controlled by me and used it to find places I thought I might fit in. I had many friends but none were close enough to really confide in, I loved them but I didn't trust them with my secrets. However I tried to hide God knew exactly who I was and loved me for it, the confidence that gave me brought me out of my lies some. I told my best friends when my parents got divorced, even if it was days after and over text. I was given a wonderful youth group I could confide in which also drew me closer to God. He is the reason I am now able to trust other people but He is still the confidant I go to whenever I really need to talk with someone.
