*This statement reminds me of a quote that is commonly used in the counselling field: “It's better to be hated for who you are, than loved for someone your not.” A few different ways to think about this are: a) Someone else's dream for you may not be your dream b) Not suppressing or trading who you are for what you think is a more "acceptable" version of yourself c) Not pretending to be someone you're not so that people will like you or approve of you.
