Some people pay so much attention to their reputation that they lose their character.

I think it is a true statement.

It is true and I thank you for posting the question.
I prefer not to be a wave maker. Lately, I have found it impossible not to be one. My reputation was that of a quiet and polite person. There are somethings that have come into my path lately which are just not right! Sometimes you need to speak or even more, act.

They are so concerned with what others will think of them that they lose their true self pretending to be someone they are not.
I like the quote.

I think it is just pointing out that by worrying what people think and how they should perceive you and trying to be the person you think they would want you to be, you lose all of your own personality and individuality.

I like it. Whenever people worry too much about what others think they can lose what's truly important.

I have seen it so many times. Ironically The ones that put on masks, usually are least liked.

eeeh. not bad, but if you're looking for a sting you gotta do better than that. that really doesn't inspire a burnish quality to it.
