It is ok to experiment behaving in different ways...but you need to discover what fits best and just be yourself no matter who you are with. If you behave how you think you SHOULD behave, you will never know if someone likes you for YOU!
In life, some people will like and some wont. Because there are people that don't like you, it doesn't mean you're a bad person or not likeable. I am sure you have people you like and dislike? it is only natural.
It is natural to experiment and play with acting certain ways....but don't act in a way you feel is wrong just because you think you should act like that for someone else's benefit.
Stay as true to yourself as much as you can.

But is it honestly normal to be extremely caught up in it's webs? To not know who I am so much of me completely losing myself and not knowing who I am anymore. I think I have a little bit of knowledge of who I am which is good but I get torn up about what I should act like. I basically think "Hm... Now what character should I act like at the moment?" And I BECOME that. I studied acting so I feel like that made me do this weird thing- putting on an act and making it very very believable even though it is not who I really am.
I feel not good enough if I am just myself which is why I do this. I also do this to entertain others. If I feel a situation needs more comedy, I put on this funny act.
I hate that I choose from hundreds of personalities INSTEAD of being ME. My TRUE self. (Whom I don't know.)
