For me, it is the one thing I can do correctly on a regular basis!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you write poetry, you should already know the anwer to your question, if you are asking for yourself!. I write poetry too!. This is where I can truly put my soul into what I am feeling!.
To answer your question, it does take time to put yourself together!. It takes constant and vigilant work to stand proudly by who you are!. You must not waiver, not one little bit, from that person!. No matter who agrees or disagrees, right or wrong, it's who you are and what you represent!.
Each time you falter, it takes so much more, to pick your 'self' up, dust yourself off and start all over again!. But, each time you do, you become that much stronger with your person!.
When you get to be my age, nobody but God, can knock you off your post!Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Just be yourself" is an extremely difficult thing to determine!. Look at it for a moment, what is "yourself"!? Is it static or dynamic!? When someone says "be yourself" are they talking about the "you" they knew when they first met you, or the you a day ago!? Can you ever define yourself such that it is legitimate to reference "yourself" in such a manner!? I don't think so!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Depends! If I acted myself by my thoughts then people would think I was crazy! I have Philosophy working brain and if I acted on that all the time people would think different of me and would think I was crazy! So I just act like I dont think as much as I actually do!. I actually feel like I dumb myself down to talk to people sometimes!!! But to answer your question overall yes it is pretty easy to be myself most of the time!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

the easiest!. and!.!.!. am a being, not a doing, so no need to do what i am, just be!.
to try to present a certain image of what i am, to try to wear a mask, to be somebody else thaat i think people might like, to not be loved for what i truly am but for that mask and then never be touched by love inside!.!. was a unfulfilling game!.!.!. being authentic, being as i am!.!.!. no need to think about behaviour, about looks!.!.!. i want what i am and i am what i wanted!. but first one needs to find out who you truly are!.!. until now you take yourself to be an idea, a concept, a person you invented because you think as you are you are not interesting enough!. removing all those layers!.!.!. true beauty flowers!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, and I am not sure why!. There's a few in my life who know the true, real me!. I find it difficult to act like myself around most people!. But I think I am starting to come into my own a lot more!. I find myself showing sides of myself to people that before I didn't!. I honestly think my true growing process started when I came here to Yahoo!. I found so many people very similiar to myself and it made me comfortable with who I was and my interests and beliefs!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Definitely, yes! Times past there were certain occasions, like a funeral, a wedding, a class reunion, where I thought to kick the best of me up about three notches, and in less than three minutes I had forgotten all about it!. First remembrance was on the way home!. "Oh my gosh! I was going to be that rare masterpiece!." Somewhere in the past, I just became that rare masterpiece!. With all my imperfections, I'm perfect!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

depends on the conditions!. different moods and different people and different peer pressure may change your personality or actions that moment (short term) or it can change the way you do things(long term) but hang around them to long and it will change you!. but deep down inside no matter what, alittle bit of that original person is in you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not always!. Civilization and peers like to try to pressure you into taking different paths than what you would initially have liked to take!.

It's all of matter of being true to yourself and not letting others and society influence you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, the more you strive to be the harder life is!. Just be what you are and work to be the best you can be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's easy to be myself, though the consequences might be a pain!. It's definitely easier than to try to be someone else, because I'm terrible at that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

not really!. at a certain time in your life, you have to realize taht the best solution is to be yourself!. not to be influenced by others!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
