All say be yourself, what if one is not happy with what s/he is?

Answer 1

well, are u not happy about urself cuz of how other people react towards you?? or is it just cuz u wish you had more "positive" qualities, and don't naturally have them?

if it is the 1st, u may need to learn how to be more comfortable w/ yourself in a Positive way, no matter how others treat you. if it is the 2nd, i think it is great, because you WANT to have certain traits and you can change, and work on yourself to Become Better....always. that's what's so great about life.. u can try hard to make different changes and see what works best for you tomorrow! and if that doesn't work, try, try again!

my mantra is this: first work on your Appearance (exercise, work out, take care of ur body. get some flattering hair styles and clothes. feel good about how you are presenting urself :D)

next, work on your Mind (study harder, read more, learn more, excel at your hobbies...the more u Know, the easier it will be for you to have something to say to others.. keep an open mind).

next, work on your Relationships (w/ family, friends, eventually strangers! and because u look Good, have smart things to say, u have more to be confident about, and less to be shy about).

after all that, if u STILL feel unhappy, then i think u have a dilemma. but until then, u can't really complain until u do something Proactive, Positive, and Healthy in your life. u will see a major difference in ur attitude, ur relationships, and the good things in ur life vs the negative. good luck~

If you are not happy with who you are - then you and only you have the power to change that. You can easily change if there's things you don't like - you just have to know exactly what you do want to be like - once you know exactly what you want then that will give you the focus and you you should get there.
I'm not that happy with myself at the moment and looking to make some changes - I need to try and listen to my own advice - but I know it's easier said than done. I wish you the very best.

Answer 3

I only kinda agree with that phrase.You can change yourself, no matter what other people say.Most people say that cuz they don't feel like working hard to become better.Strive to improve yourself everyday. But some people just mean don't hide your true feelings, be open and honest, I completely agree with that.Take care, have a great life :)

Answer 4

I disagree with 'be yourself'.

I've consciously changed who I am and how I look over the last few years and I still have more to do, but I feel much happier now.

If you are not happy with who you are, look at how you can change it but make sure it's for you and no-one else.

Answer 5

If you're not happy with who you are how can you make someone else happy . happiness starts with you you have to find out what are the things that make you unhappy with yourself . and try to change those things.

Answer 6

well if one is not happy with their-self, then one should step back and take a good look into what it is exactly that makes one so unhappy. Change what you can that bugs you and learn to live with what can not be changed. Keep in mind, NO ONE is perfect in every or any way.
BEST OF LUCK!!!!:)

Answer 7

I was probably the biggest wimp you'd ever see in elementary school. When I got to seventh grade, I magically turned into the High Priestess of Sarcasm. I couldn't be happier! You just have to promise yourself that you will find a way to change. It doesn't necessarily mean conforming — it just means finding a persona that works.

Answer 8

Then change. It should be "Be happy with yourself"

Answer 9

Then find something that does make you like yourslef. If you don't like yourself like many people, find something tht your good at or do somehting that would make you proud of yourself and this will be a step up for you.
