Most of the time we are put down by people we see who are better than an us in a way or the other. When you see someone else who looks or has better character than you.

Its not only the appearance they wish they had its also the inside, someone’s personality. They want to act as funny as someone, as cool as the guy in his grade, or be caring as the girl from 10th grade.

Putting all the hardness and work on you just so you can please someone else. Just be true to who you are it makes everything
