In the past, I've attempted to live up to their expectations of who they think I am, rather than who I really am, because I wanted to avoid drama and conflict. However, lately I've increasingly been showing them who I really am, because I've found that following my heart has started to become more important to me than doing what other people think I should. I wish my dad would accept that I'm me, not the mindless normie who he wants me to be, and that that's all there is to it...
