Personality is an essential part of every human being, we are building it from the moment we are born, the experiences we live are forging the construction of our own personality, however for adverse reasons of life we may think that being like other people is better.

When we decide to be like someone else it is almost always because we have been wrong on multiple occasions, perhaps because we have made mistakes that are unforgivable for ourselves, then it is when we want to acquire personalities copied from other individuals.

There are personality conflicts that we have because of the guidelines imposed by our society, sometimes it is very normal to see how our opinions have no place within a certain social circle, which is why we end up copying other opinion patterns that are not our own.

We are human beings and we make mistakes, but in spite of that, we must act according to our nature, no matter how wrong we are, what really prevails in us and that has added value are our own opinions, whether they have a favorable or erroneous sense, but our opinions are what characterizes us to be rational and thinking beings.

It does not make any sense that in order to look good within our social stratum we cannot express our own opinions, but rather copy models of opinions that may not even be in accordance with our personality.

The next time you hear a person express his own ideas, however erroneous they may be, give him the value he deserves because he is being himself and making his personality known through his own opinions.
