Someone else told me to be myself, now you're telling me to be someone else... this thread is about as helpful as one can expect a general advice thread to be.

- majewsky 4y agoIt depends on what your definition of "being yourself" is.
- mekoka 4y agoNo conflicts in the advices. Many (most?) people live their life with default settings, simply going along with and never questioning expectations from the world around them (the life they were born to live). They're simply the instrument of a self-fulfilling prophecy. To be who you want to be, you need to be willing to change those default settings, even if that runs counter the predictions.
- weeksie 4y agoThe act of aspiration necessarily includes being willing to be a different person by the time you accomplish the goal you are aspiring to.
- kamaal 4y agoIf you are happy being what you are, don't change, and just be yourself. But sometimes whatever you are happens to be something like being overweight, or unmotivated etc. That's when 'being yourself' isn't very helpful.
