"Will you be my friend?" We want each of these questions have answers "Yes!" with all the heart. When other people like us and accept us, we feel precious.
Why we are so sensitive to their views upon us? We want ourselves to be accepted and approved. That really we want is, liked and accepted - as what its there.
Fear of rejection is at issue between the hide and reveal ourselves. Price to be "someone else" is the loss of true identity. Sometimes it covers the loss of self-respect and self-esteem - your own.
Feel uneasy when cover themselves for the sake of others is the preferred normal feeling.
You are you, and should you be yourself. You do not need to turn into a person who is not the actual yourself.
However there is one thing that was agreed by everyone: You may occasionally wearing coat of paint but below the surface there are yourself you love and respect you deeply. And basically you just want to be loved and respected by others as well.
