For some people, "Be Yourself" isn't really the best advice... |

Well the simple answer is that most don't want others to know their weaknesses, especially at the first meeting. People tend to overcompensate to make an impression. Learn to read body language and you will see where people are not telling the truth right away. Sometimes it is so subtle they haven't a clue what they are giving away.
The only thing I have a hard time adjusting to when it comes to being myself is that I am disabled and I have a really hard time with that. Even accepting myself has not been easy, but the look of pity or whatever that comes over some people's faces makes me ill, I try to hide it as much as possible in public, though some days it is impossible and that is when I wish I had the guts to use a cane so I could play the little old lady knocking junior on the head with it... not really, I am not little or old by most standards, tho to some I am old. Most people just want to look better than they are, it is self protection to a point, though that has to end sometime |

That means that they are not happy with their true self, and are trying to make someone like them for who they think the other person would really like.... |

Because of peer pressure, the world would be alot better off, if people would be them self. If you think about it we all succumb to peer pressure, I mean if you woke up in the morning and knew , you would never see another person, would you care how you dressed, combed your hair,etc. Be honest with your self when you answer this or you will be taken in by peer pressure, about if i said i wouldn't get dressed or comb my hair, what would people think of me.LOL *** |

A lot of people are too concerned what other people think about them.My daughters 19 and shes like this.Maybe I was a little like that as a child but as you get older and wiser you really dont care what people think of you. |

Personally I think that people have a hard time being themselves because they don't get to know themselves very well. Some of us didn't have a great environment to grow up in and that can errode our self-esteem. If we don't have a healthy self-esteem then we might not love ourselves as much as we would otherwise and we might then not acknowlege our true feelings. This also prevents us from taping in to our instincts, trusting ourselves. All of these elements of our psyche can interfere with us acting natural because we block our instinctual reactions and instead use those that we think would get us loved/accepted by others. We do this to gain that false "satisfaction" we get from being liked by others.
Being ourselves can be a lot of work sometimes but it's worth it because we can learn to love ourselves more. That is true satisfaction, true peace and happiness. |

People try too hard to impress others that they don't act like they would behind closed doors! |

Because we are all ashamed of who we really are so you put on a front to make yourself look and feel better. |
