You should always be yourself. However, "yourself" isn't some stacked-to-the-ground thing that can never change. You should always try to make yourself better...and then be that version of yourself...and then make yourself better ad nausem.

Does that make sense?

All "be yourself" means is that if you're 5'2" and 250 lbs don't fake like you're a pro basketball player. It's incrongruent, you can't back that shit up. BUT do try to be 5'2" 150 lbs @ 10%BF. And in the between time be the-guy-who's-working-hard-to-get-to-10%BF. That's an authentic self and a confidence-inspiring one at that.

Well, no. As it turns out "be yourself" is actually the best advice you'll ever get. The problem is, that unless you've worked hard for it, you'll never actually know how to do it, because you don't even know who you really are.

"be yourself" is bs, there is not a set thing that you are, you are whatever you want to be

its the calling card of the loser, who doesnt want to work on themselves and put effort into making themselves better. same for those people who tell their friends they are great just the way they are, and if X doesnt like you for who you are then they dont deserve you blah blah blah

look, its ok to be yourself, yes, we gotta like ourselves, but its not something to run your life by. be yourself, but make sure that yourself, is a hard working, ever-improving focused motherfucker

Be your BEST self. There, fixed it for you.

There's more to it that that.

Be the best self you can be.

Lift, read, go out and put yourself into situations you've never been in before, meet new people, take up hobbies... Anything that will improve you to be the best self you can possibly be. Whatever you are, be a good one.

Yes. Pretty much.

Should read: 'Be your BEST self.'

Adaptability is natures strongest survival skill. "yourself" is this versatile being with no real emotional "set" state. knowledge, situations and alot more can change the way you behave or...are.

Being yourself is basicly being that versatile being. Improving yourself mentally and physically until you have crafted the best "you" you can be at that time. "Yourself" is both you in your present state, as you in your desired state. the goal is to bring both states closer together without lowering the standards of your "desired self".

Yes, it only works if you're already an alpha.

Make/define yourself, then be yourself.

Be yourself is good advice. Unfortunately its not the the entire story. Be yourself assumes that you are at your best version. A good person, fun, chilled, hard working, great shape and all that goodness whwre you are just comfortable with yourself because your self is awesome. Sadly very few of us men are there yet. Once you are your best self, you can just be. Be yourself works for women on a certain level because they are favoured. Orbiters do shit for them, they get the benefit of the doubt n all that other priviledge even if they are their shitty self and have not worked on improving their character as long as they are pretty and in decent shape

"Be yourself" is terrible advice regardless of who you are. It's advice that only women perpetrate in order so that they can weed out men easier.

It depends. Are you an asshole? Being yourself will surely not end well for anyone. It only applies if you want to outwardly be whoever you consider yourself to be.
