Ever cringe at the sight of someone trying too hard to fit in? I will admit, I used to have this problem before college. But then I grew out of it and learned to just be myself. But I have seen people, especially in college, who try too hard to fit in. Their opinions on things change depending on who they hang out with. They have a totally different and forced personality when with a group of friends and just doesn't seem like a genuine interaction. Everything they say or do is overly exaggerated. Has anyone dealt with this problem themselves or has seen it in others? How did you deal with it? With one person I knew, they would take it as far as faking certain emotions just for the sake of other people, positive and negative. It is very cringy and makes you want to stop them immediately in their tracks.

I am not hating on people who do this. If anything, I feel bad that they have to resort to that kind of behavior since I know deep down inside, they are insecure. I used to be in that position so I can easily relate and it may also be why I am able to see when others are doing it. A couple of the people who I've seen who try to hard have come to me at times asking why people just seem to not want to be around them. I wouldn't outright be blunt about it but I would make it known that they should try changing the way they interact. Just be themselves. Of course they didn't like that and thought their interactions were fine. Oh well. Have you ever tried to help someone who tries too hard? Just wondered. It can be annoying and frustrating to see but it happens.
