Throughout ages, mankind has been trouble by a lot of questions. Through perseverance and great intellectual curiosity, many of these questions have answers. Long have they pondered questions such as "Why do boys wear baggy pants.""Why do my coaches/parents yell so much?""Why do people love vampires so much? While great minds debate these question, there are other questions,such as "Why do people watch Family Guy?""Why do people listen to rap?""Why is Facebook [or whatever] so popular?" that yet to be answered. However, through meditation, self-inquiry and theoretical logic, one of the unanswered "Why do people hide their true selves?"
Now, there are many theories that pertain to this. The media has impacted a huge percentage of teens into impressing their peers. It has become a natural instinct to show off yourself to people. Another theory is covering emotional trauma performed by emotional event. They will even start making up excuses. They could seem like they were friendly in attempt to rely on you. Some of them would lie to themselves to justify things. Insecurity is another theory many people believe in. They are ashamed of themselves in every way. In fact they seem like their walking on eggshells. They go along with things they disagree in their mind.
Logic would dictate that they would inevitability try to fit in with the crowd. Everyone else is pretending. It seems like they are hiding their true selves. Many people who cling to one another seemingly only to appear cool.
After much analysis be brilliant minds, it has been inferred that part of the motivation is trying to hide their true selves to meet other people's standards instead of setting their own.

Yeah I see why people would ask those kind of questions. I do because all that stuff cool. So I do what I like to do.
Ever heard of the saying "anybody can stand with a crowd behind them,but it takes courage to stand alone"? Everybody is so caught up in making friends that they'd go to such extrememe lengths to do so. For example,giving up their beliefs and values or just pushing them to the side to avoid criticism. I have no respect for people like that. Stand up for what you believe in. Be a leader,not a follower. You can't please everybody. If you need friends to make you happy,then you have A lot to learn. Be yourself,not somebody else.
I have to agree with what you wrote. Why do people hide their true selves. Well I for one feel insecure about my real self so I hide it by being care-free and fun. That's not the case for everybody. I feel like people should just be themselves and not care about what their image might become. Thank you for writing this.
Maybe we all think of these unanswerable questions because we all just have to much time. "We" like rap, Family Guy, The Simpsons, vampires, zombies etc... Because its "Funny" or just plain stupid! We are used to seeing it and believing these stupid shows!
I can I agree with you when you say that "the media has impacted a huge Percentage of teens Into impressing their peers". I think that teens do change because of the media. I noticed back in the day teens would act different they wouldn't really care how they look and stuff. Now they got to look like a singer and have expensicve things because they saw him in a music video or something.
I really like this one because it's virus that a lot of people hide their true selves. I used to hide myself from people. I have learned it along the way thought. So this is a great post.
Great topic and very well worded. I agree with this, why do we hide our true selves? Lots of reasons...
People hide their true selfs because they want to fit in with what popularity says you should be like. I don't care what people think just look at me I have a rip in my coat my pants are to short. But if people want to look the way popularity says I'm not stoping you but please just be your self.
I think the biggest reeason one would hide their true being, is because people are so quick to judge. In our society, we have many groups and labels. So, showing who you really are, opens you up for judgement from those of difference to you. So we hide what we really are because we are afraid of what people will say about us. There is always someone out there who will have negative judgment toward your beliefs and what you stand for. But everyone has flaws. No one really tries to feel empathy toward someone else, so it makes it easier to judge.
I really loved your last theory Debbie. I personally don't show my true self because I don't want to get hurt by opening up to the wrong people, but I know a lot of people who, like you said, do it to meet others standards rather than setting their own. I really love yours Debbie, good job.
