Who else is there to impress, but God and yourself?
When you catch yourself trying to impress others, you then find yourself as a slave to all of mankind. You spend your entire life, in all your actions, trying to make others notice you for your "good deeds," and other good causes that you supposedly stand for.
This is our modern day, summed up: the majority of people, saying "I don't care what people think about me," but they live a life of fakery, virtue-signaling, and hypocrisy. All they do is care what others think about them, and so they publicize how they voted for the popular candidate, they show everybody that they listen to the popular music, they tell everyone that they donated money to a popular cause.
But here's the truth: no one cares. They're all doing the same things that you're doing, and they think they're the only ones faking it. Everyone is living a fake life. Coincidentally, all people of a social group stand for the same things? Hell no.
If you live a fake life, you will attract fake people. Is that what you want? A bunch of fake people in your life, all trying to impress each other?
Be yourself. After all, you literally are yourself. Literally..
