Is ‘Be Yourself’ Bad Advice?
In case you don't know who I am here is my intro post from way back:
BunnyPuncher Don’t worry your bunnies are “fairly” safe!
Story of an honest Steemian. Honesty in today's world it still exists!!
That depends on how you look at it. Naturally I would say its not a bad advice, being yourself is the best you can do for yourself. It saves you the stress of trying so hard to be something you're not; and people would appreciate you better for your sincerity. It the contest of business I'll say its bad advice. You have to create a picture for your clients to see. The image they see isn't what's real its the impression you give. Someone once told me
If I'm pursuing a big contract I do not be myself I become the person they want me to be. I rent a better car, get a better suit, book a five star hotel for the meet and at the end i earn myself a life changing contract. So "be yourself" is both good and bad advice
Nice question @bunnypuncher, my answer is no, it's the best advice someone can give you. Many people misunderstand what it really means to be yourself, because they don’t have a deep vision of it and they look themselves in the mirror thinking that the person they see is who they really are. In order to find yourself and understand who you really are, you have to look inside you. We all come to this world with a purpose and every each one of us have to find is own one. If you try to be someone else or if you live your life wishing to be someone else you will never be happy and you will never find fulfilment. There are two big mistake that people do: the first one is that many people depend from other people and by doing that they are not in control of their life. The second one is that many of us don’t have self confidence and they compare themselves to others, ending up feeling worthless and lost, thinking they will never achieve success in their life. You are unique and special, in all the different aspect of your personality. It is all about finding who you are and accepting the way you are. Only then you will start to realise that you don’t need to change and you are amazing just the way you are, because you will find your passion and what you are good at so you can follow your purpose and feel happy. An important aspect of life to keep in mind is timing. During your journey you will understand that sometimes you will have to be patient and to trust the process, everything comes to you at right moment.
Depends on your goals. In sales you can't always be yourself, because you have to be a reflection of the person you're trying to sell to.
In today life it is not bad, it is practical
Don't be fake.
If you have to be fake, don't, just become that person you are faking to be.
Be Yourself IS sometimes a bad descision. If you are having bad habits, they will always hurt yourselves or others. And almost nobody has no bad habits at all.
No...that's if u truly want to be happy.
Trying to please every one by pretending to be someone else is so hard, overwhelming and depressing. I have discovered that whenever you are been the real you, you are happier. Whether the real you is good or bad.
i agree with u, you just have to be yourself and if the other person doesn't like it, it's fine. It's just how life goes, it's not being selfish. If you please everyone you won't enjoy your life. It's all about finding balance. Be kind with everyone but not stupid. Great comment bro
thank you for your sharing and i like it !
I want to share with you about "Short space of time to Phú Yên in Vietnam"
https://steemit.com/travel/@colorme/short-space-of-time-to-phu-yen-in-vietnam
A lesson that works not just for favors and praise, but for happiness. Humble and sincere, that's a sign of happiness. The word work motivation is what you need to plant
Nice comment mister @morinho, happiness is really important. I've heard you are about to join the Manchester United? Is it true? :) just joking, have a great day
"Be yourself!" ~ Advice that's given to people who want to court someone, and advice that will result in an eyeroll. From my understanding, in some countries people don't care "who" you are but rather "what" you can give them, and thus... the advice is irrelevant.
Some people aren't so material/monetarily driven though... so, the advice could be useful depending on the people involved. :P
I respect your opinion and i get your point of view but i still believe that you can be yourself in any situation, for me it does not matter where you are, who you are or what you believe in. When you have a deep understanding of life, when you really know yourself and more important when you are in control of your mind, you have the ability to be yourself all the time. You may have to adapt to the situation but that doesn't mean you have to change the way you are, you just approach the situation in a different way. This is the way i look at it and please don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to criticize you. I'm not saying that i'm right or wrong, i just like to say my point of view and i also like to hear what other people thinks, that's all. Have a great day @kaelci and thanks for sharing your thought
My point of view was my being mostly facetious. :) But thank you for sharing your opinion.
is the way to express originality, we will be the same in many things, but we feel in different ways
We feel and also think in different way. I preferer to be real and to be myself, for many reason and one of them is that being yourself comes naturally, without having to think continuosly.
All people can change the style of behavior depending on in what company they are. It quite naturally. However it is bad only if, changing the behavior you don't begin "to play a other role ". So, for example, going with girlfriends to cafe, you cheerfully laugh and without respite stir about everything on light. But, coming to work, you become more serious, reject thoughts "not on business" and talk only when it is necessary. Such behavior model is absolutely normal, any sane person understands that the situation otherwise provokes to concrete behavior.
always be yourself your essence is the most important
that's right
Well.. here's the winner @pitboy of today's giveway. ;)
I think the answer is a clear “NO"
For the majority, ‘be your self’ is in reality terrible advice. … no one desires to see your authentic self. :(
Being yourself is the best way to live life , it is quite difficult to pretend to be what you are not...
Not at all to make a good example for the entire population
@bunnypunchers
Every time anyone Says that be yourself that means be like me ...so never follow that line ...don’t be yourself ..you do yourself
Only if you suck.
Its not a bad advice. It depend on situation and self functionality .
Be yourself. Because that's a great way to be.
It is also by theme quote😄😄

I love you
Is ‘Be Yourself’ Bad Advice?
I think not, but sometimes it's good to review how you are and what you can do better
it's the best we can do, we can not escape from ourselves
It's not entirely a bad advice,cause you cant force one to be what he is not,but sometimes what he/she may be wrong making a mistake is inevitable then,so it's not entirely wrong,.
Of course not, because I'm sure of who I am, although I'm not perfect, because the only perfect is God, I know what I should do and what I should not do.
No, because being yourself is the best think that you can do.
Makin' random comments and yah.
no, because pretending to be someone will soon fade and you'll be back as the real you. The people arround you will start to to confuse and don't like the new you. It's better to be yourself from the start and then it's for them if they will likebyou or not. True friends will remain if that friendship is true.
We are always missing one side. "I (you)". When we know we will be unhappy, there is so much that we have to do and that we do. For others, we censor ourselves from others...
Not at all.

It is the best advice that can be given! You have to be like one! without hypocrisy!
I don't think it's particularly bad advice, it just matters who your true self is. I think the biggest reason most people don't show their true self is that they're scared that they'll get judged. But you shouldn't be scared of that, no matter who you meet they will judge you, but that doesn't mean in a bad way. Surround yourself with people who accept you as your 'true self' and be happy with them!
No, within reason it is OK. However some amount of "filtering" is necessary if you are over 5 years old.
Thanks for the opportunity!
It is not a bad advise to tell yourself and be you. Sometimes we need to level up and overcome our shyness and have more confident of our ownself, be bold and go out there. It’s the best move to take and trust our instinct. 🙂
who else we will be ?
Is ‘Be Yourself’ Bad Advice?
That's a good question. You could say no, because pretending to be someone else is usually a negative thing and a clear example of a lack of personality. Sometimes being yourself is misunderstood as following your heart, and if your personality is overwhelming, you may end up making multiple mistakes, because you ‘Be Yourself’ and not self-moderate.
So, no.
I don't think it's a bad advice, it's just too general.
It will never be a bad advice to say that you are yourself, the authenticity of the human being is the basis that identifies and makes you stand out from the others, we are all equal, we have our time counted, so the best thing is to put aside the costumes and show that what follows your heart, is your best secret weapon.
Be who you want to be
It shouldn't be, we're all supposed to be ourselves, educated to live in society. Spontaneity is perceived and when you pretend to be what you are not, you are too. It's healthier to be yourself. Greetings
the best is inside you
Is not a bad advice but it can be misunderstood because be yourself doesn't mean "the hell with others" or "it doesn't matter whatever everyone thinks or feel".
It is good advice. Unless you are stupid, or scary, or stupid scary, then don't be yourself. In that case you should be your favorite superhero, preferably with cape.
No. It is not. Unless your name is Bunny puncher.
