Don't Be Yourself And Forget About Masks

People think being yourself is easy; it really isn't. It takes work just like anything else in life. If you think being yourself means that you don't have to worry about what other people think then you are sadly mistaken. Because being yourself doesn't mean that you don't care about what people think; it just means that you care about yourself first.


Some people argue that to be oneself means not caring what others think, these people are very wrong and are simply not being themselves on account of being in social media. Being oneself means to always be true to yourself, to always value your own opinion above all else, to do the right thing even if it is unpopular and to treat others the way you want to be treated. Being yourself is the only true way to live your life, it is the only way to truly be happy and successful. If you can find this happiness outside of social media then you have found your true self.

In this society people are judged by who they associate themselves with, what they read about, and who their friends are. This might sound harsh but it is how we are now living in the world. You might think that this doesn't apply to you but it does. This might sound harsh but it is how life works. If you want to be happy and succeed in life then you have to be happy and successful on your own.

This means that you have to get rid of negative self-talk, think positive, and avoid being influenced by negative people and media. Be honest with yourself about what is going on with your mind. Be honest with the people you socialize with, they will tell you things. So tell them about yourself, this is why it is important to avoid social media. This is not a reason to be depressed or be negative about your life, because if you continue to do these things you will continue to attract the negativity that you are trying to escape.

Being yourself in social media can be quite easy but it all depends on your ability to forget about who you are for a moment and just focus on your true selves. When you get this mastered then you will start to attract others to you like a magnet. If you think about being yourself in social media then you might think about yourself in this manner, "Why am I even on these sites? They are so boring! I feel horrible about myself." This is where the true self comes into play.

You have to learn how to become comfortable with being yourself. This is done by being comfortable with the idea of being a high performer and creating your own identity. High performers know how to get out there and showcase who they are, in their own opinion. They use masks to hide who they are and create masks that make them look and feel and act like someone else. People who go about being themselves in social media sites are boring, predictable and above all; fake.

You have to eliminate negative self-talk in your mind. You might think that because you are using a mask to hide who you are that other people don't know who you are. But, when you get comfortable with your true selves in social media then suddenly you will be noticed and people will start to notice you. This means that you will start building your online following and getting a reputation that you deserve. If you are someone who has never had a substantial following then this means that you need to do something to change that and start believing in yourself again.

So, be yourself and forget about all the masks. Go back to being the authentic you. Be yourself, be an authentic leader and real Mendoza!
