I am restrained in doing things i want just because i might disappoint others and would break their expectation with me. what am i going to do?

i know, i know, youre probably thinking, "easy for you to say." but its not. everyone goes through this, its human nature.. even if people dont admit it, everyone wants to please someone else, not themselves.
my boyfriend is actually sorta going through this right now. and you really have to just get your priorities straight. you have to think about what you want out of life. do you want to be that person who changes all of the time depending on who youre around ? do you want to waste all of your energy on trying to be what you think people want you to be ?
look at it this way: youre not being fair to you or anyone else when you restain yourself in doing things because you dont want to maybe dissapoint anyone with your actions.. its kind of like one big web of lies.. and at some point, that web is going to either get so big that you dont even know who you are, or its going to fall apart.
my advice is to just take some time alone right now, and get to know who you are. you need to know that yeah, people will judge you no matter what you do, so why not just be you ? and the people who want to stick around are awesome, and those who dont werent good for you in the first place.
this is all up to you. do you want to keep living the way you are ? .. its not going to change in a matter of days, its going to take time, but you can do it.
good luck, hope i helped and if you need anything else, feel free to inbox me :] xxo. [ itdependsonyoux3's advice column | Ask itdependsonyoux3 A Question ]
