Is ‘Be Yourself’ Bad Advice?
In case you don't know who I am here is my intro post from way back:
BunnyPuncher Don’t worry your bunnies are “fairly” safe!
Story of an honest Steemian. Honesty in today's world it still exists!!
That depends on how you look at it. Naturally I would say its not a bad advice, being yourself is the best you can do for yourself. It saves you the stress of trying so hard to be something you're not; and people would appreciate you better for your sincerity. It the contest of business I'll say its bad advice. You have to create a picture for your clients to see. The image they see isn't what's real its the impression you give. Someone once told me
If I'm pursuing a big contract I do not be myself I become the person they want me to be. I rent a better car, get a better suit, book a five star hotel for the meet and at the end i earn myself a life changing contract. So "be yourself" is both good and bad advice

Nice question @bunnypuncher, my answer is no, it's the best advice someone can give you. Many people misunderstand what it really means to be yourself, because they don’t have a deep vision of it and they look themselves in the mirror thinking that the person they see is who they really are. In order to find yourself and understand who you really are, you have to look inside you. We all come to this world with a purpose and every each one of us have to find is own one. If you try to be someone else or if you live your life wishing to be someone else you will never be happy and you will never find fulfilment. There are two big mistake that people do: the first one is that many people depend from other people and by doing that they are not in control of their life. The second one is that many of us don’t have self confidence and they compare themselves to others, ending up feeling worthless and lost, thinking they will never achieve success in their life. You are unique and special, in all the different aspect of your personality. It is all about finding who you are and accepting the way you are. Only then you will start to realise that you don’t need to change and you are amazing just the way you are, because you will find your passion and what you are good at so you can follow your purpose and feel happy. An important aspect of life to keep in mind is timing. During your journey you will understand that sometimes you will have to be patient and to trust the process, everything comes to you at right moment.

No...that's if u truly want to be happy.
Trying to please every one by pretending to be someone else is so hard, overwhelming and depressing. I have discovered that whenever you are been the real you, you are happier. Whether the real you is good or bad.

i agree with u, you just have to be yourself and if the other person doesn't like it, it's fine. It's just how life goes, it's not being selfish. If you please everyone you won't enjoy your life. It's all about finding balance. Be kind with everyone but not stupid. Great comment bro

"Be yourself!" ~ Advice that's given to people who want to court someone, and advice that will result in an eyeroll. From my understanding, in some countries people don't care "who" you are but rather "what" you can give them, and thus... the advice is irrelevant.
Some people aren't so material/monetarily driven though... so, the advice could be useful depending on the people involved. :P

I respect your opinion and i get your point of view but i still believe that you can be yourself in any situation, for me it does not matter where you are, who you are or what you believe in. When you have a deep understanding of life, when you really know yourself and more important when you are in control of your mind, you have the ability to be yourself all the time. You may have to adapt to the situation but that doesn't mean you have to change the way you are, you just approach the situation in a different way. This is the way i look at it and please don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to criticize you. I'm not saying that i'm right or wrong, i just like to say my point of view and i also like to hear what other people thinks, that's all. Have a great day @kaelci and thanks for sharing your thought

All people can change the style of behavior depending on in what company they are. It quite naturally. However it is bad only if, changing the behavior you don't begin "to play a other role ". So, for example, going with girlfriends to cafe, you cheerfully laugh and without respite stir about everything on light. But, coming to work, you become more serious, reject thoughts "not on business" and talk only when it is necessary. Such behavior model is absolutely normal, any sane person understands that the situation otherwise provokes to concrete behavior.

Be yourself is not a bad advice. In fact, it is the best advice you can ever give to yourself and to others. Why? The moment you decide to be someone else, you have given up your uniqueness. Not just your uniqueness, your identity too. Imagine a scenario where you enter a place filled with people who know you but not for who you are. They know instead because you behave like your elder sister. Instead of them calling you by your name, they call you by your sister's. Then you'll hear something like 'Hello Shiva's sister' How will that make you feel?
Also, you can never go wrong with being yourself. You may make grave mistakes trying to be who you're not but if you stick to being you, you can rest assured that you have nothing to fear.

'' Do not forget the truth,

If you suffer, again be born

To be happy is to know how to live ...

Giving the "Be Yourself" to people, to me is not so much a bad idea as it is an incomplete one. How can you be yourself when you have no idea about who you really are. You only can become what you know. I believe,instead of giving people the "Be Yourself" advice, we should give them this : Discover your purpose and become the best possible version of you to achieve your aim.

I think this advice depends on context. I think what people mean by this most of the time is to be genuine. People don't like it when others show fake attitudes and opinions.
Of course though are certain situations where you wouldn't necessarily want to say everything you are thinking either.

my answer for this question, be yourself is a bad advice? I think it depends upon the situation. Sometimes you need to be yourself if the situation needs to be yourself that you will not think that there are people arounds you, that in every decision that you will make may be few of them they will not understand you, but that is the real you. However if you will not be yourself in any situation you only consider the feelings that may be you do not want to hurt others and you only want to please everybody so that they become happy or satisfied.

Be yourself is a good advice, but you can't be yourself only by saying or pretending that. First you must know yourself and meet your evil side in order to be nearer to your true self. Or thats what I think. Like other comments says, you don't have to listen to nobody and make your own way...

Some people grow up finding theirself being unwanted by others due to their inheritant bad attitude.
So being theirselves is such a threat to the people around them and these might makes life a more complicated for them to cope.
Who want a bad person?
Yeah hardly few people want you with your flaws.
Despite the fact that many don't want to settle with a parasite being.
'Being yourself still remained the best advice for them, so as to find the rare one that will love you with all your perfect imperfections,
with their love and support you might later ended being what life expected you to be.
Even if you a bad type, Being real is what world will always appreciate.
So with my own perception, i think 'Be yourself' will remained a good advice forever.
