Being yourself

Ok so I have a problem, all my life I've been doing all I can to fit in and get everyone to like me. I want to be myself but I don't know how. Today I was a total jerk to my crush while with some friends. I know how to get along with people, but only because I agree with everything they say and do what they do. Any advice for me? I'm not even sure what myself is like.
 
That's really sad

Just behave naturally. Don't try to fit in and get everyone to like you. Be how you want to be, not how others want you to be.
 
A good way is to get a timeout from your friends. After school or work, go straight home. While traveling to and from a destination, take this time to think about the person you truly are inside.

You are your own entity. An individual with a mind of your own. You have the power to perceive what is "right" from "wrong".

Strangers, acquaintances and friends will always be there to give suggestions and advices. Listen to them. But know that ultimately, YOU are the one who will make any decision. YOU are the one who writes your own story.

By posting this, it is already a step to self-discovery and healing. And I am happy for you.

Excuse the mess, I didn't see you from behind
I caught a glimpse, but the reflection's only mine
It's almost like I'm paralyzed and locked outside myself
What I don't need is to concede because I won't be someone else

"I AM NOT PERFECT AND I DON'T CLAIM TO BE"
And if that's what you wanted
Well then I'm so sorry

[Chorus]
How about a better version of, the way that I am
How about a better version that, makes me understand
How about a better version of, the way that I am
The way I look, The way I speak,
How about a better version of me

Excuse the wall, I put it up from time to time
A silver shade, and the design is all mine
It's just a maze that everyday I seem to be stuck in
It never seems to fade away but I pray for the day it ends

"I AM NOT PERFECT AND I DON'T CLAIM TO BE"
And if that's what you wanted
Well then I'm so sorry

[CHORUS]
How about a better version of, the way that I am
How about a better version that, makes me understand
How about a better version of, the way that I am
The way I look, The way I speak,
How about a better version of me

Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned

[CHORUS]
How about a better version of, the way that I am
How about a better version that, makes me understand
How about a better version of, the way that I am
The way I look, The way I speak,
How about a better version of me
