People say just be yourself, but it seems that doesn't work for some people. For some, being yourself can make your life terrible for you. Most people won't like your ideas, the way you dress, talk, act, think, move, etc. When ever you disagree with people, you usually get more problems.
SO, it seems that if you just do what everyone says, be agreebale all the time, & be what everyone wants you to be, that everyone treats you like a saint, saying things like, "Oh he's such a great person", "Oh, he's so easy to talk to", or "Oh, he's so easy going & out going", etc.
It seems that being fake is actually the best way to be to have a smooth and easy life. But being real means disagreements, arguements, people hating you, bosses firing you, etc.
It seems like only some people can be themselves and get away with it. Those are the people who ARE exactly the way popular people of the world wants people to be, act, look like, sound like, etc.
What do you think?

StarShine Girl - The problem is, I'm as real as they come, but I'm getting tired of being treated like pure crap by most people just because I;m open and tell the truth, and act like myself. It's Bullsh*t.

I completely agree with you. When people say "just be yourself", what they really mean is "just be yourself, as long as you don't stir up any controversy or say anything that I don't like". When you don't have the "go with the mainstream flow" mentality, life and human relations are more difficult.

I would rather be my self the real me and get ridiculed then to be a fake. if the time ever came to be the real you . you wont know how to act because you were being a fake for too long.. fake is a mistake , real is ideal . Going through life as a fake is not going to help you later on..If some one doesn't like me for what I am then that is there problem not mine. Be real.. I will never agree with any one that I know is wrong ..

Nope, I'm me I'm considered punk/goth. I don't care what others think of me, if you don't like me that's just fine with me because I'm just fine without you. If you don't like me don't associate with me and you won't have a problem.

My life is fine and I do what I want. Which happens to be what is right. Which is the way way you wish you were.
