That's a great list. I've read most of those things elsewhere, but it's a nicely compiled bunch of reminders. 8)

Being told how to be yourself? That isn't self contradicting at all. As for a serious observation, this isn't a bad list, but I'd imagine the confidence issues that prevent someone from acting as an individual would be too deep to be dispelled with a mere advice column.

"Well, you did. Just now."

"I wasn't feeling well."

Other people would probably say: I wasn't myself. But Granny Weatherwax didn't have anyone else to be.
