I recommend you read a book called;

'Women Who Run with the Wolves' by Clarissa Pinkola Estes phd

If you try to mould your personality to suit and please all people you'll just end up being a declawed version of yourself, a Lady-woman, devoid of selfworth and too unsure of your own feelings to ever be truly at ease in your own skin. Based on this, however happy or successful you are, you'll be running the risk of that all coming tumbling down with the first caustic or critical remark directed at you. Be yourself - warts and all. Oh and read that book, it really helped me
