Be yourself is such a crappy idea. It never works, mate.


No matter what, you're always putting on a facade anyway. What does it even mean to "be yourself" exactly?

I am alway Myself no matter what some may want Me to be in the end.

It is the only way I know how to Live My Life in the end.

Though some People wanted Me to do something that I did not want to do; I did not do it inthe end.

That is the only way I can be Myself by doing to be Myself in the end.

Define being yourself. Besides, I act like myself on certain online forums, and loads of people detest me.

Taken simply, you can't be anything other than yourself, I think. Sounds simplistic, but it's really kind of a powerful affirmation, in its way.

The sh*tstorm around "Who is the real me?" only goes on in our thoughts, and thoughts aren't reality, just a sort of gauzy curtain shrouding our true vision.
