To try to make themselves feel better about themselves. People like that usually have very low self esteem and they want others to think that they are just as good if not better than the person they are trying to be like. Its all an air-- a put on. People should just be therselves and not try to play "keep up with the jones'"

Many times people try hard to fit in with the crowd because they are afraid of being rejected. Low self-esteem and insecurity will also sometimes make people act different than they want to. It is sad, but peer pressure to be "popular" is sometimes so intense that people will do things or wear things or act ways that they normally would not.

So they don't have to decide what their view and beliefs are. They're too worried about what other people think so they just agree with whatever the "normal" people say, that way they don't have to explain why they believe what they do, therefore not looking as stupid as they would if they did. The whole thing is "bull" though, making them look even dumber. note to conformists: get over yourselves.

They think they're expected to. And they want to expand their horizons or at least, their abilities and who they are. People want to be respected, they want to be friends but arn't sure how exactly else to do it.

I think people try to be things they aren't because they aren't comfertable with who they are. I know this from experience.....i tried to be something i was to impress this really hot guy and i found ut that he liked me better for who i was..so yea i wanted him to see what i could be and not what i was. I also know some people who try to be something they aren't because they feel they have to impress other people. This is just my opinion so yea you don't have to believe me...but i hope this helps.

Because #1- People want to be liked. #2- It's easy to copy someone else, but harder to figure out who you really are.

Because the idea of perfection is forced down our throats by the
media.
My belief, your imperfection is what makes you perfect.
