Always remember to express yourself fully so that you can convey your deepest thoughts and feelings to others, even if they don't accept you for who you are.
Many people are afraid of swimming against the current and, instead of committing to themselves, live with the fear that others will not like them if they don't act as they expect. They constantly seek the acceptance of third parties, they are not truthful in order to please others and, by omitting themselves in all possible ways, they end up experiencing great suffering.
But I tell you: those who don't accept you as you are don't deserve a space in your life!
The moment you become true to yourself and to others — that is, when you express your essence without lies and pretense — you will become a magnet that easily attracts like-minded people — those who will accept you just the way you are and who will really enjoy being in your company.
Eventually, it doesn't matter if you run out of your fake friends — what really matters are your real friends, even if they can be counted on the fingers of one hand. So be yourself, express yourself and burn your social masks.
