Why do people not take you for who you are...believe that you are just you and honest?

Even though different from most around me, try to be open and honest...But now i am starting to feel i would be more accepted if i lie and act like i am someone i am not just to please others? I am finding when you are just yourself that people can't or don't want to deal..they want the roses or what they want to hear all of the time, not just you for "you"....why is that?

    There is absolutely no reason for you to compromise your morals and or principles in order to be accepted. Stay true to who you are regardless, do not settle!!!!

    Someone that is deserving of someone with integrity, and a strong moral compass will find there way to you and you would be happy that you changed nothing about yourself with regard to your character and personality. Be proud of yourself and know that most people wished that they can spell the word honesty far more to apply it to there lives!

    I have recently asked myself the same things, but, what I came to realize is that no matter how you act people will hate on anything and anyone who disagrees with them. And, just because they are in denial about themselves doesen't mean I should be to apease people who will find something wrong in everything anyway. Be yourself and if others can't see you for you then **** them, they aren't worthy of your friendship anyway. Move on and surround yourself with ones who accept themselves. Your intuitions will always guide you the right way, if you listen to them. Never doubt your sixthsence. And thats REAL!

    You want the truth????!!! You can't handle the truth!!!!-Jack Nicholson. I think he's right about most -though not all-people. Everybody has problems, masks etc. and lots of people don't want to bother-unless they love you for real.
