When You Changed for the Wrong Person
There was someone you really wanted to like you — a person whose approval felt like the most important thing in the world. So you started changing to get it. You shifted your opinions to match theirs. Laughed at things you didn't find funny. Dropped things you loved because they thought they were lame. Slowly reshaped yourself into the kind of person you thought they'd want. And it sort of worked — they let you hang around. But the version of you they liked wasn't really you anymore. You'd traded pieces of yourself for a seat next to someone who never asked you to, and never even noticed. Now you barely recognise what you used to care about.
