Anyways, I don't believe it's a teen thing to try and conform to others. I think many adults have this problem too especially if they were raised to become people pleasers like I am.
Yes I believe my problem is being so self aware that I get stuck where I am. I become so overwhelmed with my self awareness that I become depressed and very very tired and exhausted. Thank u for saying it's good to be this self aware :-) but at the same time it wears me out. I think way too much for my own good but I can't help it bc it is the way I think.
I love the way you write btw. It's very clear, straight forward, and very helpful.
I feel more at ease and more normal than I did. But I still have that little nitch that I am alone in this and that it's very abnormal to choose personalities like choosing clothes.
It's confusing. I hope you get it.
Thanks again

Anytime. Thanks for the compliments! I've thought about being a math teacher before, but it doesn't make enough money. But anyways, I'd say you just should try to think about what you just said whenever you feel that you're alone. "lots of adults even have this problem too." It definitely comes from being a people pleaser, and also just trying to find yourself and not being comfortable with who you are (for adults and people who know). I think pretty much everyone in the world molds to their surroundings to some extent.
