Being yourself: BS claim or really true?

Absolutely, but do you believe you are no longer being yourself? Or simply bettered who you were?

Bettered your image, I should say.trust_nobody

It's odd that a concept so universally relevant as "self" is so commonly misunderstood. -MuadDib-

I see what you're talking about. There are a lot of obscure ideas that us humans throw around.

the idea of peace, a utopia? :lol: sorry, never going to happen as long as we're humans.

Humans have no single, authentic identity, and so the goal of always "being yourself" with no regard for the social context is impossible to achieve.Elraptor

I know that when I'm alone, i feel the most like "myself" my most comfortable. but would i want to go out in public and act like the way i do when I'm alone, HELL NO

(Oh, and, I suppose that we're all idiots when it comes to certain things.)

That's simply because you are under the assumption that there exists a single, true self. -MuadDib-

yes, I believe that there is one self, but that we put on various "masks" for different interractions.

no... but is that the word that I was looking for earlier

*hits up wikipedia*

I suppose that it's more a matter of semantics than anything at this point. What you would consider "being yourself" is what I would consider, "acting as you would when you're alone."

Maybe. It's too late to think.:P

You don't have to be a dick to be a tough guy.I have metvery few menwho meet the defintion of masculinity. Which could explain all of these threads looking for advice on this subject. Hold your head up high and go get it. If you screw up you learn from it and move on. Rejection isn't the end of the world.

Whew that's enough cliches for one day

Being yourself won't necessarily always get you friends of girlfriends.

But any you do make will be the best ones you'll ever have.
