if you develop certain characteristc from your upbringing, or certain characterists from your mom and dad. Can you truly be yourself.

Answer 1

I think that we all try to be like someone else at some time or another. Even if it is just trying to be more intelligent like someone else. I don't necessarily try and act like other people but I see traits in others that I admire so I try and work up to those characteristics in some way. I don't think that it is necessarly a bad thing to admire something about someone else and try to improve yourself in that way. But, I think that there is a line with everything. Trying to basically become someone who you are not is not a great idea.

Answer 2

I've had a lot of friends over the years who have done this and while it's not wrong it's just annoying for your friends who have to deal with it. I've always TRIED to just be me, though it's hard work at times. One reason why I couldn't act like some one else is that I am bad at concentrating so it's never a reliable act!

Answer 3

Of course, because it's a matter of survival. Some believe that even instinctive behavior is passed on though a collective unconscious.
I think that the self is a collection of personalities mixed and matched to suit your cultural environment and physical uniqueness.
The real question is have you ever not tried to be like someone else. Is that even possible?

Answer 4

yerah I have tried to act like someone else, someone cool and distant and uncanny. Sometimes that never said more than a few words and was always calm and collected. Is it wrong? I don't feel so because it taught me of the person that I wasn't meant to be.

Answer 5

Yeah!! sometimes i don't even know im acting like someone. But thats all okay, because everyone now-a-days don't care about something that was done a day ago. I can act like them by saying a word.

Answer 7

When I was in like 5th grade I thought the popular kids were so awesome w/their Nike AIR shoes and stuff so of course I wanted all that. Then over the years I realized that I don't have to be anything but myself popular or not, and I can like whatever I want to like.

Answer 8

Of course, children always try to emulate their friends and people they admire.
But the best advice you will ever find is....."be yourself! You are the best you, you can never be "Hannah Montana" (or whoever you are trying to be). NObody can be Hannah Montana but Hannah Montana. " Just be yourself and if people don't like you for you then they are the ones with the problems.

Answer 9

ya , I tried , and its not wrong if u want to change urself to be better , I mean u can try to be like father if he is a good hard working man,

Or to be like ur friend if she is funny or smart or whatever,

But dont imitate without thinking , I mean try to learn from him , better than just do what they are doing without thinking will it be suitable for u?

Yes , I tried to be like by father , but i failed , I'm another person , so realize that its better to learn from him rather than try to be him.

Wish u all the best ,

Answer 10

Yes, it was that person's good-looks and good appearence/personality that made me want to try to be like him. ALthough I wasn't too successful acting like this certain guy.
