“To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.” – Elbert Hubbard
Many people are terrified of criticism and will often keep their head down and go with the flow for fear of being on the receiving end of it. The world doesn't need that; speak your mind more often. If people don't like you for being you, then why would you want to please them by pretending to be somebody else?
It is an issue, people become people pleasers. They throw away their identity to be liked.

"Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken."
Attributed to Oscar Wilde, but doesn't appear to be from him.
