so what kind of person are you? does your own perspective of yourself really amount to who you truly are? Due to our ego, we tend to recognize and praise our qualities a lot more than even acknowledge our own faults. As many will hate to admit, who you really are, your attitude revolves a lot on the side of you that you're trying to hide, the side of you that can come out subconsciously and affect those around you, whether it be family or friends, also whether it be willingly or not. A lot of times, that side of you can come out in a bad way and can have consequences, as I have learned myself the hard way.
One person who best fits this criteria is the "nice guy" character. Everything he does, he does it to please others before himself. He makes sure that others are happy before he is. Eventually, people get used to it and he becomes a doormat. People walk all over him, over-relying on him, pressuring him. Now this guy, not wanting to displease his fellow peers, never says no even if he doesn't want to do something, because again, the happiness of his friends comes first. This kind of behavior becomes dangerous as this "nice guy" starts to hold all of his true feelings bottled up inside...until one of these days, that bottle won't be able to hold anything in any longer...and then it breaks: suicides, school shootings, domestic violence, and the list goes on.
Fact of the matter is, I don't think any of us really know who our friends are...
