当你大概想表达的意思:
我年轻的时候,常常非常在意别人对我的看法。为了融入群体而伪装自己。
但随着年龄的增长,我经历的越来越多,我才懂得,没必要花时间取悦别人,而应该做真实的自己,让自己开心。
不会组织语言的人说的:
When I was young, I often cared about how other people thought of me.
I often tried to pretend to be someone else just to play better with others.
But as I grew up, I experienced more and finally I realized that I don't spend time making other people happy. Instead, I should be myself and make myself happy.
点评:
1、what...think of 是固定搭配,人们怎么看我,虽然翻译是怎么,如何,但应该用what,而不是how
2、合群、融入群体,用fit in
3、取悦他人,别再只会make other people happy,可以说please other people

When I was younger, I used to worry a lot about what other people thought of me. I would try to be someone I wasn’t, just to fit in. (这里用了 younger,相比较When I was young,更强调了年龄的增长,不是单纯回忆年轻时)
在我年轻的时候,我常常非常在意别人对我的看法。我会试图成为一个并非真实的自己,只是为了融入群体。
But as I’ve gotten older, I have had various experiences through which I’ve learned and grown.
但随着我年龄的增长,我经历了各种各样的事情,从中我学习并成长了。
And I’ve realized that it’s not worth it. I don’t have time to waste on trying to please other people. I want to spend my time being true to myself and doing what makes me happy.
而且我已经意识到,为了迎合他人而改变自己是不值得的。我没有时间浪费在试图取悦别人上。我想把时间花在做真实的自己,以及做让自己开心的事情上。
