The key to making the change is not allowing others to hold you to the old standard. You have two choices in life: 1. Be yourself and have self respect; 2. Be who you think others want you to be and never meet their perceived expectations. It's trying to meet or fill the roles given to us by others that leads to being trapped in a stigma. This something almost everyone does whether consciously or unconsciously, it's part of our animal social instinct. I prefer to be myself.
