Have you ever been told to change a major trait in order to please others?

Wow. I was just told to ‘dummy- down’ by a friend. Apparently I am too….what? To used to being inquisitive? So I try to keep learning things. Big deal! I had to in order to do my damned jobs! People don’t like that, she said. Too vocabulary-gifted? I taught English and Communications for crying out loud! How can you motivate without something to back it up? Why would I feign who I am for anyone? I am stunned. And hurt. WTF?
Has anyone ever told you to make drastic change in who you really are in order to please them or others? I know it happens in relationships- which usually doesn’t end well. But how much should you give away of who you really are?
Have you done it for anyone? How does it feel? Why did you do it?
Are you happier?
