- The seemingly simple advice of "Just be yourself" is often misunderstood and can be misleading. We dive deep into the three major pitfalls of this phrase: awareness, context, and ambiguity. Understanding these elements will help you gain more clarity about your personal identity, which is complex and multifaceted.

Expand and extend and branch out your authenticity.
Nice work, keep going! These videos are really interesting, it introduces a new perspective to the topic.
I appreciate it. Another video is in the works!
Incredibly well explained. I've been going through this process of self descovery and I'm always impressed that everything is interconnected in this tapestry of events. The Buddha said that all phenomena are generated by a combination of causes and conditions. Without causes and conditions, no phenomena would arise or exist in this world.
This leads to deeper questions such as determinism. We could question whether free will is gained from the moment of introspection, and if we don't do this work, we would live a deterministic life.
You bring up an interesting point about determinism. It's fascinating how interconnected everything is and the power of introspection.
I think this is what makes the human condition so beautiful - that everyone is able to go through this journey of life and to be able to create their own meaning from it. Whether it is correct or incorrect is entirely up to to them.
@@progressful It looks like a response from Chat Gpt, lol
@@shellisonwullian6217 maybe I’m just a bot… I’ll be sure to make my responses less structured next time 🫠
Congrats on your first video!
Thank you!! I got some other videos but I’ll be releasing more consistently soon!!
Love your work
thank you. I look forward to making the next video!
So does that mean we can never really be inauthentic? because even when we are wearing a mask, it is often driven by a set of complex motivations which are also part of our thoughts, beliefs and personality. Therefore, the mask and our shifting behaviour is actually us being our real selves!
In a way, yes! I believe that authenticity can be fluid and multifaceted where it isn't necessarily tied to a single, constant presentation of self.
Sometimes, I introspect on some of my thoughts, beliefs and personality and I wonder what motivated them and where they come from. Through this, I am usually able to find that they are rooted from a deeper place.
Fantastic

if i get to act like myself when talking to someone they will send me straight to psych ward
I feel like you can still act like yourself, but it will be manifested in a different form depending on the person and setting. And of course, it's important to remember that everone is different and unique and have their own experiences and perspectives, and what might be seen as inappropriate for one person may be seen completely acceptable to another person. But I think that's whats so beautiful about human connection - that seeking out those connections where you don't need to fully suppress who you are is part of the journey.
Ofc
🎉🎉
thank you thank you!
nice video, sucribed
Appreciate it!
"How should I act and what should I do?"
"Just be yourself"
Don't be fooled. This response does not answer the question. Rather, it communicates you shouldn't invest effort or thought into the things you're worrying about. But the line between reassuring someone and devalidating their feelings is a thin one
In simple terms be yourself after 30 years of age or after a million dollars in the bank, until then don't.
to each their own
Nice visuals good audio (maybe a little too close to the mic). You desperately need some background music 🙏🏽 helps people stay.
I appreciate the feedback! I’ll put some background music in the next video. 🙌
Background music is good but make sure it’s not too loud bc I’ve clicked off of videos for that! Nice vid
I disagree, backward music would distract you from the point
@@raspberry4262 I'll test around. I'll probably just put it very subtly in the background
@@Mononodle I can try very quietly in the next video and see how the feedback is.
