Who am I?

When I think about inanimate object narratives the first thing that comes to my mind are the anti-smoking commercials that show a cigarette taking control over your life and being a bully. It shows what a cigarette would say if it could talk. https://youtu.be/Hx5FQ2QWEnI




I am controlling. Everyday you come to me and I tell you who to be. I tell you what to wear and I can make you feel bad about yourself. I also do the opposite. I can make you feel wonderful. Some people are addicted to me and love me, others avoid me at all costs because when they see me they see their own insecurity. But don't try to blame your problems on me, I just bring them to the light. Everyday I sit here and I see your life. I try to get involved by making you come to me for advice but I'm jealous of you. Everything that I say to you is what your saying to yourself. I wish I could have a voice of my own but I just mimic you. I see pictures on the walls and envy them. They get to be themselves, I am forced to be you. I try to be controlling but now I realize that YOU are the one controlling me.
