Tender-aged, we are conditioned to act as ourselves, yet in ripening, we are to restrict certain emotions to maintain positive status in the public eye. Smile here, refrain from angering there, and never show remorse or weakness.
In essence, if you're weak from the start, you're going to bump heads with reality at some point. You should probably change who you are, but always be yourself!
In terms of he who "changes himself" to impress others, is he truly not being himself still? Perhaps "changing himself," or altering his personality based on his surroundings, is who he is.
Even so, which mantra are we to follow - "be yourself, maintain pride" or "change yourself, impress society?"
