What does someone mean when they say “just be yourself”?

This was a common expression in American tv shows.

But can you just be yourself?

Let’s take a moment to think about what being means.

The human body has amazing capabilities to learn. One of the most simple and common ways we learn is through watching others.

When you were a child you had to learn language. You watch parents say a word and you imitate them.

From a very young age we learn to imitate. We begin to copy those around us and make up new gestures or impressions.

The word person comes from the Latin root Persona meaning: Mask or actor playing a character.

Through the development of impersonating others and acting to promote your beliefs or ideas. You condition yourself to be something that might look different than what you actually behave like.

There are multiple levels of behavior.

Lower levels of behavior are consistent and animal like. Behavior such as eating, sex, fighting or aggression.

There are also higher levels of behavior such as kindness, love, and empathy.

You can learn behavior that is foreign to your nature or calling in life. Such as highly intelligent capable smart young people turning to drugs and crime by watching TV movies and listening to music idolizing the characters portrayed by stars. It’s also common to idolize family members and stove to behave like them.

The state of being is not received when you imitate others. Being is when you are so finely tuned with life, nature, the cosmic energy all around us, and god that you no longer need to depend on thoughts for correct action. There is a driving force behind being that is powerful that you can manifest all of your desires and do it without effort.

All that is required is honestly and prayer. Honestly hold a desire In your heart. And if it is for the good of yourself, the cosmos, and others. You shall have it. Because the universe promotes good.

Sort:  

Just be yourself.

This sentence usually use to increase our self confidence, so that we can do our best on doing something.
But we have to follow other to learn in our life, No doubt. Thank you.

You have a different angel of thinking than others. You always think different and find some unique question about that.
I think, I'm not just myself because I'm in love. 🤣
Thank you.

We are also playing our character differently in the world. The information about the word "person" was very important. Thank you.

You can say, we are together

Welcome, please explain. I’m not sure I understand.

I mean, people don't learn just by looking. He also gets innovation from his own thoughts.
And on this learning stage, we are all together in dressed up(সং)

We can never be just ourselves because we must learn from our parents and teacher. There are a lot of singer who follow another singer. Why they are not just themselves?

Can you just be yourself? If you want to know my answer, it will ne negative. There are a lot of reasons behind that.

Sometime we follow some person to be like them but it is better to make some follower of mine.

being yourself feel like freedom, if cannot do a thing in my way what is the purpose doing that work?

Human body or mind can learn something easily from an example and watching other is the best example to learn i think.

You have focused on a crucial issue. Some expression is very complicated. It is very hard to clarify. Anyway i have seen you here after a long time. How are you?
