How Self Believe Helps you. 

Look, you've probably heard this a million times before. You have to be yourself. Most people say this to you when they don't know quite what else to say, and it feels like such a cliché. But, I don't think that "be yourself" is the right advice for everyone all the time — in fact, it might just be exactly the wrong thing! There's more than one way to "be yourself," and the best advice I can give you is: find out what works for you!

Do some research online on different personality types and see which ones resonate with you most strongly. This article might help: [INSERT LINK HERE]

If you think you have a pretty good idea of your type, try out different ways of expressing yourself and seeing what happens. You might be amazed at the results! I'll give a few examples below to get you started, but really, it's up to you to find what fits for you. I've just given a few ideas here and there.

1) If your personality type is introverted: It's easy for introverts not to be themselves — we tend to lurk in the background or at least want to stay unnoticed (like me!). Therefore, to make your Introverted nature a positive, try doing the opposite of what you would normally do: go out of your way to talk with people and let them know about yourself. There's nothing wrong with being a little outgoing, but it can be difficult for introverts not to feel like they're being fake if they always talk too much.

This isn't just a vain concern. To be an introvert is definitely something that must come first — it's not the same thing as thinking "I'm shy" or "I don't like socializing." For example, see if you can get yourself into situations where you don't know anyone or have money on your own. It's very likely that you might feel uncomfortable if you do this. I did, at least! It's not so much about always wanting to be alone — but mostly about consciously deciding to go out of your comfort zone to make yourself feel more comfortable. It's not exactly a fun idea, but it definitely works!

2) If your personality type is a Narcissist: Narcissists are easily drawn into the world of fantasy and narcissism. This will usually include an idealized self-image, which they then adjust according to what they learn from others around them (see here: [INSERT LINK]). In this case, try putting yourself into situations where you have little power or control over the outcome (e.g. giving a speech or presentation to strangers, walking alone outside at night, etc.). This may be difficult at first — it definitely was for me! — but you will learn very quickly how others respond to you. You won't have time or energy to waste thinking about yourself if you're actually "in the moment" — and this is great for developing some self-confidence and finding out what are your real strengths and weaknesses.

3) If your personality type is an Extravert: Maybe you feel like the opposite of being yourself would mean taking a more introverted approach (as described above). That's not necessarily true! Extraverts are often in need of some downtime to recharge. In this case, try making sure that you get enough alone time. Don't avoid all other people, but don't always socialize either! Also, try to speak out when you have something to say. That might sound counterintuitive, but it's true — Extraverts often talk about things that aren't "important" just for the sake of small-talk. This is a nice way to feel useful and connect with others, but it can be a way of avoiding saying what we actually think or feel. Give yourself a few minutes (or hours) every day where you can speak from your heart and not just from the top of your head!

Anyway, I hope these ideas will help some people out there. I know they helped me!

So, if you're not yourself, who are you?

We apologize in advance if we have oversimplified the subject matter of this, HOW TO BE YOURSELF?. We are only doing what we are meant to do, which is to suggest that you learn more (and more), and let the results speak for themselves. Study and research is what you are supposed to do, and learning how to be yourself is certainly one way to achieve that goal.
