Think about it. Is that really good advice for someone who has been single for a long time?

Who else would you be?

If you fake it and found out later then it compounds the tragedy. To find the right someone you have to be yourself.

I know the world of feast and famine!

I'm a really bad actress I don't have much of a choice except to be myself...

I would rather just be myself....did give warning on profile:(Not For The Faint Of Heart)lol.

Yes, unless "yourself" is an azz.....then try and work on that and hopefully you fall back into that way of acting and thinking.

But for the most part, being yourself is good because if you try to act like someone or something you aren't, it will bite you in the ass.

(example....my ex used to introduce himself as_____ ______, esquire....until someone asked him what kind of law did he practice...and he had to tell them he was a phone solicitor for the NY Blood Services, not really a lawyer!! <---biting his ass)

I am me...I make changes to improve myself and my life but I always show the real me.

As I just wrote that to someone minutes ago, and as I am always right, of course it's great advice!

Ive gotta be me,
ive gotta be me,
what else could I be, but who I am....

I gotta be meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Maybe if you add making yourself your best self.

Many people don't live up to half of their potential. They muck it up by quitting school, getting addicted to cigarettes and worse, they have kids they don't want even when they can get free condoms, and they quit when they get just enough to survive off a job they really don't want.

That was my first thought. Why would you pretend to be someone else?

I look at it from the opposite direction....who the hell else would wanna be ME??

Hell, even I don't wanna be me!

Being myself works for me...there is an improved model in the Design Department.

What happens when you're told to "be yourself" when you ARE being yourself? Sounds like a double-negative to me.

If all else fails.. be like me.. I rock.

I am always myself,anybody who doesn't like me can suck it lol

I say why not? why be somebody you arent just cause you have been single a long time? hummm

I hate being me. I find myself to be boring. For some reason, others do not. I am insecure and have low self esteem. Oh, and I've been single for more years than I care to admit.

So why would I want to be myself?
Problem is, I don't know how to be anyone else.

Absolutely
