What does it mean to be yourself?

I think when we tell others to be themselves, we ume that they know what we mean. To me it is simple. When I hear or say that I think of - Do what you are comfortable with, that comes from within you. Right or wrong is relative. That's a moral judgment. Eg. if a person is an introvert and a person of few words, they don't have to change themselves to an outgoing person for the sake of acceptance. Now if *they* feel a calling from within to make a change (whatever the reason or inspiration for the change), they are then being themselves too. I think it's a good idea to question why we are doing something. This way, we can decipher if we are following our own heart and mind or doing it out of pressure from others and if we are good with our decision. The bottomline to me is to be happy with the decision of however we are (want to be) and whatever we do (want to do). To feel that we are being true to ourselves. Even if that means listening to someone and doing what others are doing..i.e feeling inspired by another. Even in this case, we are being ourselves as we are doing what 'we' want to do. Hope this wasn't confusing. Thanks for the question. Helped me too.
