As much as they support you and love you, your friends can also be your toughest critics. Friends are used to seeing you as they want to see you, and often this is the way they have been most comfortable with you for years. If you’re the funny one in the group, it makes them very nervous for you to become the dramatic one who loves fashion. If you’re dependable and quiet, branching out into a bit of wild fun can really ruffle some feathers.
While it might make your friends a bit uncomfortable, letting them call the shots in your life can be dangerous as well. We all grow and change and being kept in a position you don’t really care for is beyond frustrating. To help your friends accept you for who you’d like to become, include them in your makeover games. Post some of your thoughts and plans on your social profiles and be open and talk about what you intend to do to improve yourself. Stay true to yourself, even in the face of feedback and just enjoy being you – any version of you you want.
