Have you ever been in a social setting, suddenly realizing you are not being yourself? This post takes an in depth look at why we play various roles in our lives, and how to overcome these socially conditioned “masks” to be yourself.
Be yourself, accept what you are and what you possess, you are the first rate version of yourself.
Be Yourself
The most commonly used phrase in history, but is is really as easy as it sounds???
Actually there are many obstacles you can face when you are trying for the first time; the problem of believing in yourself is the most common.
You have to know yourself very well and ........ to choose and accept it (how?)
1- Instead of looking and focusing on all of the negative things, find and focus on all the good qualities you possess.
2- Make a list of all the bad qualities you have and of all the good qualities you have and compare.
3- Every time you look yourself in the mirror call out something good about yourself.
4-Instead of feeling bad about yourself, every single day do something to correct your perceived flaws.
5-Tell yourself every day that you are a beautiful and unique person.

Being Yourself (how?)
1- Stop caring about how people perceive youLearn the difference between intimidating, throwaway, conniving, or thoughtless comments from others and constructive criticism which is well intended and focuses on real faults that you know could with remedying. In the latter case, people such as parents, mentors, teachers, coaches, etc., might well be telling you things that you need to make self-improvements for the better.
2- Be honest and open
What have you got to hide? We're all imperfect, growing, learning human beings. If you feel ashamed or insecure about any aspect of yourself — and you feel that you have to hide those parts of you, whether physically or emotionally — then you have to come to terms with that and learn to convert your so-called flaws into individualistic quirks or simply as basic, down-to-earth acknowledgments of your own imperfections. Be honest with yourself, but don't beat yourself up.
3-Develop and express your individualityWhether it's your sense of style, or even your manner of speaking, if your preferred way of doing something strays from the mainstream and produces positive outcomes, then be proud of it. Be a character, not a type. Learn to communicate well - the better you can express yourself, the easier it is for the people who like you as you are to find you and the ones who don't to just steer clear.
4- Follow your own style
That's what being yourself is all about. Maybe you like to sit outside on the deck under an umbrella in the middle of the rain, maybe you have different ideas of things, rather than other people, maybe you like strawberry cake instead of the common chocolate cake, whatever you are, accept it. Being different is absolutely beautiful and it attracts people to you. Don't let people change you!
5- Relax
Stop worrying about the worst that could happen, especially in social situations.Learn to laugh at yourself both when it happens and afterward. Turn it into a funny story that you can share with others. It lets them know that you're not perfect and makes you feel more at ease, too. It's also an attractive quality for someone to be able to laugh at themselves and not take themselves too seriously!
6- Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and that some days you are the statue.People might raise eyebrows and even make fun, but as long as you can shrug and say "Hey, that's just me" and leave it at that, people will ultimately respect you for it, and you'll respect yourself.
