How do I "be myself"?

Question

it's easy to just say relax, and be yourself, and forget about whatever but it's a different story actually doing it!

hmm, maybe you can give an answer without using "self"

HOW do i be myself is the question

Answer 1

First know who you are. Then be be true to it.

Answer 2

Just be yourself. In fact, when you get stressed or when you relax, you are simply being yourself, since all these facets are part of the tapestry that the self weaves and the self is beyond the tapestry. The weaver, the act of weaving and the object woven, all this is self. So, you can never stop being yourself.

Simply watch the show going on.

Answer 3

There is no true verbal answer to your question. You have to decide who you are and do it. Who you are is who you see in the mirror. If you want to outdo someone or become popular because you are not then don't worry about it, because you are you and you have to make that choice. Do I lie and Hide and try to impress people? Then you become a fake person and you always have to watch your back to cover your steps. Or If you do not like red ...say so ....But you have to know when its right to say what is on your mind and when to keep your mouth shut. Or you act like a car salesman or any other one for that matter and sell something you believe in or not...It is all your choice. There is no words that can tell you how to be you.

Answer 4

You are correct, every one says that and it is different for each person, But I believe that if you love yourself and care for yourself and value yourself then it will be easy to be yourself. I go thru the challenge every day being just me, myself and sometimes it is not easy to do when you have people jealous of you, but I can't be any body but me.People know when you are trying to be something that your not, it shows in you. It is what you think of yourself and not what other people think.
All I can tell you is don't try to be some one else, be genuine, be real, be true to yourself, and BE YOU.

Answer 5

To 'be myself" you just have to remember that you should not put on a facade (an act) while you are other people and just do things normally in their company like you would when you are at home by yourself.
Changing how you act, and indeed everything in your life because you would want to be accepted by people is not healthy and leads to a lot of psychological problems later in life, because you are denying yourself in your mind of the person that you really are psychologically, what you think.

Answer 6

The secret is to do it slowly, gradually reveal yourself only on two way relationships. One way relationships are not good at all friends or significant other. Your anxiety will fade away during the process of being yourself.

Answer 7

Don't hide your feelings. Stick with your standards. Follow your heart.
Don't do what you think others want you to do, unless it happens to BE what you want to do. The same for say, think and feel.

Don't be a lawyer if you really want to be a forest ranger.
Don't be an accountant if you really want to be an astronaut..

It takes some effort. But people will respect you for it when you're an adult.

Answer 8

Properly sun yourself when you crawl out from under the rock.

Answer 9

Don't lie politely all the time, just to be agreeable. Be you. Express the truth you see.

Answer 10

you can be yourself by learning to love who you are. accept that you are loved because you are you. because you are a human being. once you can see that you are loved, you will be able to accept you for who YOU are. do things that you like- not that that people aroun you like. if you like to write, write. sing, sing...etc.
goodluck
