Blog #44: Be yourself? What does it mean?

in blog •  7 years ago  (edited)

I still remember that @derekcowan gave us an advise to improve our blog, he said “Be yourself”. I think that was such a sound advise.

You should show who you really are in your blog by writing your own thoughts, opinions, by sharing your own view about the world around you.
Not for showing off about fancy things but not yours.

Not only with your blog, “Be yourself” can be considered as a slogan in real life, too. It is quite easy to speak out but actually not everyone is able to do that, yeah, to “be yourself”.
Because you need to be aware who you really are, you figure it out and then you can just “be yourself”. But for most of people, finding out who you really are is a process of trial and error. So just think that it simply is “not trying to be someone that you are not”.


I always “be myself” when I wear clothes that I am comfortable in, not to dress up or show off.
I have the courage to say what I believe in, and not say somethings just to be “cool” to others.
I make my own decisions that I think I want to do, and not what people around me want me to.
I am comfortable with who I am, I dont spend my energy trying to be someone else.
I dont need to put up a fake personality for others to make them like me since I am not living for them.
I have my own thoughts and opinions on things, I’m not afraid to discuss with others and will not follow things I dont believe.


People tend to be what they are expected to be. So they pretend to be awesome, cool, fancy,.. It is totally fine. You can be whatever kind of person you want to be. But whatever you choose, you need to be that person full-time and for a long term. Even though you are pretending, it is ok if u are able to pretend forever.
But problem is no one can pretend for the rest of their life and once they are exposed, they will even lose their uniqueness, their own attraction.


Be yourself is to be honest about who you really are.

From sources of happiness be yourself and try to not hurt the others around you
Well done .. Thank you for your words.

Be yourself isn't always easy. How often we compare to others and want to be like them? We fade out the people who make compliments to us, because we think that we need to be like our idol. Very good post to rethink that.

You are right. It happens when We have not figure out who we really are yet. We dont even know what is truly “ourselves”. We are confused about who we really are and who we wanna be. And in the process of trying to be the one that we wanna be, we gradually lose “ourselves”.

Just be yourself because we can not satisfy everyone.

Exactly. And we are not living for anyone, anything but ourselves. :)

oh. thank you for speaking highly about me. ^^

you are such a pretty lady, you look lovely, I have to be myself as you said, Please try to visit African, we are lovely people, we will loved to see you and take a photo with you.

I would love to go Africa. Honestly. I will go when i have chance ^^

Bunga sama orangnya sama-sama cantik..

I see you very well. I admire you so much!

Em cảm ơn chị ^^

Most people showoff under peer pressure. When they feel their friend is getting a lot of attention, they try to imitate him to get same kind of attention. If a friend buys an expensive smartphone they also go for an expensive smartphone because they feel jealous and want to have what they have.

yea. that is a problem of most of us. not content about ourselves and try to be like someone else.

The thing about not being true to yourself is it eventually catches up.... and we probably won't like what shows up ... so nice one @hanggggbeeee

Thank you 😊

I'm glad you found my advice useful. With so many fake or wannabees online, the only thing that is authentic is one's true self. Hope you are doing well Hang :)

Really useful. Haha. I think i am doing quite well. But problem is... sometimes I dont know what should I write. Like running out topic to post. Just copy and paste is much more easier, right? :))

HAHA, copy and paste. Yeah right. See you did listen to me ;). It's all too common, people just ripping articles from other sites and making them their own. It's the quickest way to get nowhere fast haha.
You live in Vietnam, there is no shortage of things to write about. Just share your experiences as​ you do :)

I learn a lot from the way of writing u use for your post. Like take photo of a moment and write down your thinking about it. 😊😊

Yes, sometimes it doesn't need to be complicated. Every photo I have taken has a meaning to me, so I like sharing that :)

So true, the biggest prison people live in is in their minds and caring what others think of them, writing is the perfect tool for breaking out of that.

you're right. I am trying to open my mind with writing :))

Wonderful advice. Sometimes when I try to consider my blog, I begin to change things up. Then I hit a wall and I’m stuck. It’s because I am not being ME!! Thank you for writing about this subject!! Do you find that you have to remind yourself often... or does it come more naturally the more you’re just real and “yourself”?
I really want to build a blog that is organically “me”.
@jeejee

i keep reminding myself to not be a copy. And try my best to show “me” here. I saw your blog and feel interesting with it. ^^

I’m very glad I ran across your blog. I was looking for ways to improve myself. I feel like I just need to be MORE OF ME! I love to write and make people feel like they haven’t wasted their time. You definitely did not waste any of mine 💙

@hanggggbeeee

woww. I like your posts

Be yourself!

yea. I am ^^

This looks like an art.... What a colorful click ... Amazing work behind tue camera

I read your article and it seemed very interesting. I would like to acknowledge that being yourself leads you to be happy with what you have and what you need to live. Likewise, being yourself must be accompanied by treating the people around you well without waiting for the person to respond in the same way. For me this implies an internal change and from there change our environment.

Some really try to be themselves, but others take them for granted . But its always good to be yourself regardless of what people think .

Yes,you need to be yourself,but at the same time I believe you need to pay attention to your audience as well.There might be some topic people aren't interested in,so blogging about it may turn out to be a wasted time.

oh. what a good point. so better is a balance between what I want and what my audience wants, right? $$

I mean you will see anyway which one of your posts are popular,get resteemd and upvoted,so you should lean toward creating more of those.

Great, friend.
