Well, that's tricky.
In general, I'd always be myself, but I have to respect others (people who are really close) that are affected by my actions.
There is the good and the bad in each person. People tend to show the good side only and usually are shocked when they see the bad side.
Of course u can always be yourself, but you'll have to play it diplomatically. Usually when people are keen to know each other, they don't care about the bad side as long as it doesn't affect them.
The advise that I can give is that u have to be completely transparent with those that u really care to know. If they are really good people, they will help u change the bad things that they see in you.
For the rest, don't bother. Just tell them what they like to hear, otherwise, it will be a lose of time for you.
And watch out, the worst enemies can be your closest friends.
Remember, Life is an equation where all the parameters are open and at the end, the way you live is your choice but you have to also consider the price you'll pay for the wrong choices.

Be yourself means just be the person U are,just the way people have seen U as in daily life.
Well well--->""do i let everyone know my true heartfelt opinions or do i tailor them to what they WANT to hear?""
This a mode where U sound very confused.Don't get ur self too complicated.
Being urself requires No efforts.
Just be U,do the things that U like not what others like,follow what ur heart wants not what others heart wants.That would be U then!!!
All the Best!!

just be your self without hurting anyone.. i mean there is more than one way to say one thing, i could say "you look like ****" and I could say "you don't look ok, what's the matter". both have the same meaning but one is bluntly cold and hurtful and the other is a nice way to state things. you don't have to tailor anything to anyone, be honest and tell the truth but in a nice way especially to people u care about or people who care about you

Be tactful. Don't offend.
Be yourself also mean not behaving like another person. Do what you would naturally do. Do what makes you happy, but be courteous and respectful. If you don't like something don't say you like it.

you can be honest without offending or embarrassing others, it's all in how you choose your words and where and when you say it. we always seem to trust a person with an honest opinion. you be the judge!

Do what ever you feel is the right thing to do. Then you will be yourself.

it depends on how happy you want to be. everyone hates an honest prick.
