Being yourself is the best way to be. Why? That means you are real, one of a kind, and true to yourself. If I have to be other than me, then I am who and what others want me to be. Is that being real? No, I dont think so. When I am being myself, that mean others are getting to know me for who I am, not who I want to be. Im not trying to live the life others wants me to live, then I will be unhappy. Being myself is the best person I can be. Being myself means pleasing myself, not others. It is important to everyone to be the best self they can be. What a boring world this would be if everyone was the same. Give me your thoughts on being yourself.

I will be what I should be. I don't like being dictated to be of somebody. But I am open to any advises from the people showed sincere concerns.

Nothing is constant in this world except change. So, with the advises from other people, we are willing to change for the better. Remember, nobody is perfect.

Very well said. Yes, being yourself is simply being real and true to yourself. Why would you rather be the person others want you to be? because of rejection? Well, I am very sorry but the only way to be accepted by others is for you to be true to yourself. You do not have to pretend to be some one else. If you chose to be, then you are not only fooling yourself, but also fooling others. Believe me, nothing is happier and contented done being real.

Myself is very tired and needs to get some sleep tonight. Myself is also a very worried mom right now (daughter with anxiety). Other than that, myself is pretty happy with her house, her job, her children, her boyfriend and her life.

I agree with everything you said here, highly. We are born the way we are for a reason. We are all unique individuals and we should let it shine! Live for us and not others (within reason. i mean still help others out, etc.) The world would be dull if we were all the same. But we're not, so we shouldn't try to be.
