I’ve got a friend. He’s really nice to me and can be very funny sometimes. Though many people ignore him and say he’s a bit crazy. He sometimes has strange kinds of humour and can say things that can really hurt somebody. He told me that he’d like to have more friends (for he is a bit lonely), but that he won’t change the way he is. ‘Be yourself, that’s al that matters’.
Now I come to my main question. How important is it to be yourself? You shouldn’t be the one somebody else wants you to be, I know that. But isn’t it okay to adapt just a little bit? Or should you stay as you are, even if it can irritate other people who might be nice as a friend?
