We don't really have a specific experience that deals with this question.

 

 

Maybe because you may not think that you're acting how others want you to act.  You may think that that's how you act.  So in reality, it's like an enigma.

 

 

Yes because they will know how and why they act a certain way.  It's like finding themselves.

 

 

We don't really think that this is a question that can be researched.  It's more of a personal philosophy type question.

 

 

Because probably,  it might be that people act how they act because that's what they think that they want to act.  But in actuality, we may not know how we would really want to act because of the fact that we are eluded from ourselves by society and by the people that we are usually with.  So it's kind of like a biased viewpoint.

 

Maybe we might.  Because sometimes when you do research on a school topic, sometimes you find information about something that you didn't intend to find in the first place.  So the same case goes for this.  We might find more things on philosophy and about  ourselves and what we want.  Because this is a philosophy type question and there are always more things to discover.

Dear Tjean

 

I liked your post," Do people act the way they want or do they try to please people?" because I thought that you described what your point is very specifically. I also like the fact you talk how you think it seems like your words are very significant.
 
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is. "You may think that that's how you act.  So in reality, it's like an enigma." I think this is a very interesting quote because I think that the words that you use are very meaningful and say alot about what the sentence means and what is trying to say.
 
Another sentence that I liked was " We might find more things on philosophy and about  ourselves and what we want." This stood out for me because its true that if we look and take some time to look inside of us we might just find things that we never thought were with in us.
 
Your post reminds me of something that happened to me. One time I just wanted to know what I felt  for a specific person I didn't know whether it was right or what was going on with me, I had to take sometime for me and to think and analyze my feelings and I came to a conclusion which would make that person happy.
 
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I like the way that you express your feelings and I like the words that you use in your posts.

 

nice

Well you are right,this is a personal question because you would have to figure out the life and personality of the individual. Personally from my experience,i know for a fact that i dont do that because im not intrested in the banal intrests of teenagers these days. Im usually into more significant topics as opposed to "what he was wearing yesterday" and things like that. I did a similar post on why people act the way they do so this is one reason why i commented on this post. Sometime we do it subconciouslly because that is how we were raised and we werent taught how to be ourselves or it just ddint grow with us. Sometimes its ok to follow other people because i mean if your still "finding yourself" like you said then its sort of like exploration for you.
