Embrace You! Be Yourself

Okay. So, you’re significant other has called you out on your pretences. Now what? No relationship will work if you don’t be yourself and embrace who you truly are. A relationship is doomed for failure if you wear the Dateface. The beauty of God’s divine magnificence is that no two people are alike; celebrate and express your individuality. Be the best you, whatever that may be or look like.

If you don’t believe in yourself, who will, and why would you expect them to if you don’t believe in your own self-worth? Trying to be someone you’re not will only lead to unhappiness because it’s hard work to constantly wear someone else’s face.

If you’re young, don’t rush into a serious relationship. Take time to find yourself. Go to college, join the military, enjoy life! You can’t be true to yourself and any potential mates if you don’t know, understand, and accept who you are.

Everything in life is a choice with consequences. Even though friends and family will try to guide you and keep from repeating their mistakes, there’s nothing like trial and error to learn the lessons of life. Nobody’s perfect and there’s always room for personal growth.

You can’t be yourself if you’re constantly worried about how other people view you. Who cares what people think? Other people’s perception of you is important in some instances, but not all; for instance, in the workforce. Trying to please everyone is impossible because people have different tastes and opinions, so hang around people who like the flavor you are.

What other people think of you doesn’t matter, as long as you do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and you take into consideration the person’s motives for expressing their thoughts about you and your actions. Being yourself doesn’t mean not caring about other’s feelings. Don’t be rude and belittle other people that have different views from you. Everybody’s individuality is equally important. Also, even though other people’s perception of you doesn’t matter, you need to be aware of how others perceive you. You live in society and have to interact and act in socially acceptable ways. If being yourself can be misinterpreted you need to be aware of it, and learn to adapt to socially acceptable behavior when appropriate. There’s a time and place for everything. Even though you need to be yourself, that doesn’t mean there’s no room for self-improvement, which can bring changes in your personality.
Sometimes being true to yourself involves changing yourself for the better.
Relax and don’t take yourself too seriously. Nobody’s perfect.

Don’t hide your true feelings and opinions. Why would you do that to yourself or others? It will only lead to heartbreak, betrayal, and hurt feelings. If you are ashamed or insecure about aspects of your personality, there’s no point in trying to hide it; the truth always comes out.
