I see two issues in the article. I don't think that "being yourself" is the same thing as speaking without a filter, and I don't think that it requires someone to think of themselves as an unchanging entity. > It worked. Next time people say, “just be yourself,” stop them in their tracks. No one wants to hear everything that’s in your head. That last line is the core of the issue that I see. To me, an important aspect of "being myself" is living my life in my head, rather than through my actions. Acting out on everything I'm thinking would be distinctly un-self-like for me. I suspect that I'm just missing the point that the author's trying to make.
