Do I have to become like my older brother?

[Markness]

If you became those things you would be denying your authentic self, and so you would be pretending. You can only be you.

I don’t want to take up those behaviors and I dislike that people like my older brother, father, stepfather, and mother praise those things.

I think if you took up those behaviors, it would not feel very good.

It wouldn’t because I would be angry all the time and even more stressed out than I already am. But somehow people with these mentalities still have friends and are in romantic relationships. I find it extremely baffling.
