from robots to juggernauts

Why are people so afraid to be who they really are, and not who people want them to be?

The sickest thing i've ever seen is when 2 absolute opposites spend about 2 days together and morph into one skin.
They throw all their unique characteristics away, even though that was all they had to make them interesting, and a good friend, and worth spending time with in the first place.

they become lost. A thing of the past. You see little bits and pieces of the old personalities slip out from time to time, but for the majority...they become robots, programmed by the person they let be in control of them, and when those persons morph together they become a huge juggernaut crushing everything and everyone in it's path. the apathy is gone. the emotion is gone. the compassion is gone. the happiness is gone. the fun is gone. A friend is gone.
