I got to the point where I was fed up with so many people telling me how and who I was supposed to be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People have to learn who they are - you can't have somebody else telling you who you are.
It took a lot of time and practice for me to realise that there's no point trying to be something you're not.
It seems that different people have an idea of what I am, and what I should be. And then there's me.
But sometimes I've felt a little constrained by that idea of who I'm meant to be.
In my career, I really set out not to develop too strong a persona so that you wouldn't have a hard time imagining me in any given role. I wanted to pleasantly confuse the audience on who I was.
Don't get me wrong. I want people to know who I am.
For the most part, people don't know who I am.
It took me several years to figure out who I am and a few more to accept what I discovered. Now, I'm in the enjoyment stage of that process and it's a happy place.
I was overwhelmed when people started to know who I was.
I didn't know who the hell I was. I was whoever they wanted me to be.
