I fully agree!
Being yourself is important, just as it is important to like yourself for who you are and, if we don't like something about us, commit ourselves to really improve it and not simply by showing realities on social media that are not true.
I believe that if the world is a little more superficial today it is also the fault of social media that once did not exist; we try to emulate wrong models and, as you say, many times we don't realize that some influencers show themselves in certain ways because they make money... I think it's legitimate of course.
However, I think that as it is the right of influencers to earn on certain things, it is the duty of users to inform themselves and understand who is really in front of them, because often it is all fiction, as they say... all that glitters is not gold!
You're right, it's up to the individual to determine whether to emulate the behaviours of others; it's not always the best way to go. Rarely is.
Yes, I believe that taking advice and having examples is useful, but then you need to be able to summarize and move forward with your own head and legs😉
We should all only ever want to be ourselves, and make that person the best we can be. Don't you think?
Yes, I totally agree, we should always try to be the best version of ourselves... already making a plan and committing ourselves to it could be a good result and a great starting point heh heh!😉
