Isn't that often times we notice a quality in someone that we ourselves would like to possess? Therefore conforming to more of their ways than we intended to. I know sometimes trying to gain friendships we might forget completely who we are to become more like someone else just to be able to use the title friend. At that point the question isn't who or what am I, but why have I lost sight of myself in spite of someone else. Great advice. We should be taught that earlier on in life.
