Is the phrase "Just be yourself" a comforting lie we like to say & believe? (Page 2)

[TomorrowsDream]

Just be yourself is often taken as "Just keep doing what you have been doing even if its not working".

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

That's how I feel when someone say that to me, I'm usually like "Where is the progression, where is the self growth?"

The phrase, "Be yourself." isn't isn't a lie because it's not making a truth claim.

Nope, I'm always myself, why would I want to be like everyone else when I can be who I am, embrace what makes me, me.

I think it should be; be the vest version of yourself!

It won't.
