These days I'm very rational and people are constantly telling me how mature I am. I am in college. There are times when I completely lose myself and I appear immature or my age. When I have a good grip over my emotions I can bend them anyway I want. I have control over how I want people to perceive me. When I allow my emotions to take control, I lose any definition of myself. I become an existing thing that holds no shape or form. I hate when people get this great impression on me. I can only be me. Don't set your expectations to high of me. I won't allow you. I am capable of being what you hate and what you love. I don't like pressure. I can only be me.

Well you come across as someone who is not in control of their emotions or themself. You seem to be way off base about people and yourself in general. In other words you are all over the place with your attitudes and understanding about how others perceive you. I think you need some counseling to help you find out who you are and how to handle people. In all honesty I think you are out of control and need decided help to pull you back into control of yourself. Get help and get it soon.

I am in total agreement with you. Life is to be lived on your own terms. And you only live once. I am much the same as you are. I refuse to be "boxed" into any description. I am who I am by my own intention. Not by mistake, luck, and certainly by anyone elses opinion (or judgment). I am FREE and the only pressure I have is to remain that way- and that way only. It's a beautiful thing!! It is the closest thing in the world that will keep you "happy"!

I had the same initial impression as di. I think you might want to have your mental health evaluated by a professional psychologist or psychiatrist, and get help if you need it. After that, you should only worry about people's expectations if they meet YOUR goals.

I think you are putting a lot of pressure on yourself trying not to let anyone down. No one is perfect and the people that really care about you are going to love you and be there for you: during the great and bad times. Please don't be to hard on yourself or expect yourself to be perfect. Best to You!!!

In the book of James the bible tells us we are all like grass or a wisp of smoke that comes and goes.
A humble opinion of ourselves goes a long way and others will see it an your will reap more benefit.
John Bunyan who wrote Pilgrims progress said.
He that is down need fear no fall,
he that is low no pride,
he that is humble ever shall,
have God to be his guide.

First of all, I think seeking professional help would be good for you. Second, you cannot control how others perceive you. Third, just be yourself and if someone else doesn't like you, that is their problem, not yours.

My comment is you sound like an intelligent young woman trying to find her place in the world, like most young people. My advice is to stop thinking so much, because you're going to make yourself crazy, depressed or both.

The goal is to be mature spontaneously, however spontaneity is not immature in and of itself.
It is simply enjoying life!

you can only be you- meaning that without bad judgement and knowing when you need to change
you need not to explain yourself to anybody but you. their expectations are not yours- your life not theirs
