are you yourself?
24 Answers
How often would you say you're true to yourself or even know what your true self is? I'm different things and people all the time really depending on who I'm with-I mean,we're not the same with our parents as we are with friends are we? I catch myself all the time being certain ways that I don't particularly like or acting in a certain way. I really envy people who are always just "themselves" and don't feel the need to impress or fit in. It's usually unconsciously I do this. What about you?

I try but I can't be anybody else. Don't envy it mydogs, it can be a pain in the ****! Some people like who I am, if they don't, I'm not going to change for them. I just can't do it. I'm honest to the point of being blunt on occasions - people ask for your opinion but seldom want to hear the truth, I'm afraid.
I hate phonieness and artificiality.....dishonesty just complicates life. Being different things to or with different people is not the same,because we can't help but interact in different ways. But our core values,and personality must always shine thru.....that is how we keep our integrity and stay true to ourselves.
I know exactly what you mean - and it's not about being a phoney or anything else. You are not deliberately setting out to pretend to be someone you are not, but different people bring out different facets of your personality - and anyone who says they are always themselves are maybe looking at things the wrong way, would they behave with their grandparents the way they behave with their friends on a night out for instance? or vice versa? Some people you mind your p's and q's with and others you are more relaxed with and I think deep down everyone is the same to a certain extent, we just think it's only us and everyone else is more together and themselves when they are probably envying us for the same thing!
I don't think there's any harm in going out of your way to fit in with others. As humans, we are naturally social creatures who seek to form bonds with others. As such, yes sometimes I'll say or do things I don't really feel in order to go along with the group. But if I REALLY disagree with what's being said, I'll make my point (politely and calmly) and stick to it, and if I REALLY don't want to do something, I'll make my excuses and leave quietly rather than make a scene.
BTW, it is possible to be true to yourself and others without upsetting people. Too many people use the cloak of "being myself" or "speaking my mind" as an excuse to be rude or offensive (Alansugaritis, I think it's called). With a little bit of thought, it's not that difficult to find a way to get across the message of what you really think without making people feel stupid or looked down upon.
