Hello, I am Rashi Bhardwaj. Today I am trying to tell you about Why being yourself is important.
I am a college student, and this is my first time have the experience of going out from home. This was when I met many new people, some were good, and some were not. I think a lot about everything that people say and think about me. What people think matters to me. I tried to change myself according to society and people. But now I am not like this. I have changed myself because now I know what's the importance of being myself. Now let's explore it.
When we were young, we have been taught that we are not perfect and we have to improve ourselves. People wanted us to think, talk and behave in different ways. All humans wish for friends and social relationships because we are relational beings. Many of us chose to compromise are afraid of being left alone, helpless.
So we continuously try our best to convince the people around us that we are worth their friendship and act to make others pleased. In other words, we had to act or pretend. We cannot talk or behave as we wish. The fear of being alone forces you to hide who you truly are. When we try to be what we think others want, our life doesn’t feel very fulfilling because actually, it’s not our life.
By knowing and being yourself, you can better acknowledge things that you do not know well enough. You won't be too proud to ask questions because you - and, hopefully, everyone you work with - know-how genuine you are. People will respect your ability and even eagerness to pick their brains.
Many of us have been trying to please others for such a long time that we have already forgotten about who we truly are. But something inside of us already knows the answer if we have to ask whether we are delighted? We will know likewise when we’re happy; when we are not, we will also know that. Exposing our true selves, fully expressing our desires, and confronting our fears require a great amount of courage and confidence.
For the process to be yourself, you must grow a backbone. No one knows what can make you truly happy other than yourself.
This is an important fact to realize because you will never be happy if you are constantly trying to please other people instead. You need to speak for what you believe in and show the world your uniqueness.
We have to understand that just because everyone else is behaving in a certain way doesn’t mean you have to behave like them as well.
Mainly, enjoy all that you have that makes you, yourself. Doing so will give you the attention of others and help you in remaining satisfied as well.
There will always be some people who will try to look down upon you, but you don’t need to care for them.
It is easier to see what you desire and what is truly important to you when you are yourself. The whole universe seems to be in tune with your feelings when you are yourself.
Everyone is different; therefore, to copy a person’s way of life means to hide who you really are. But you should create your own path and enjoy.
Speak the truth always. Be true to yourself and with those who come around you. Remaining honest is the best way to be at peace with others.
Remember that it is better to be alone and confident by yourself than to be in the company of others by pretending out of insecurity. Beat the fear of being alone; this will allow you to build genuine relationships.
Always do what you love. Regardless of what others are thinking about you, should you do what you enjoy?
