How to be yourself

One of the essential ways to lead a happy life is by learning to be yourself; your own original person. Stupidly, however, nobody ever tells you how to be yourself, nor are there websites through which one can download a handy template upon how to be completely individual.

It's not always good to be yourself. The deeply unpleasant, elitist socially backward people one sometimes comes across are, unfortunately being themselves. Imagine how helpful it would be if they could try to be someone else, preferably someone nicer and less prone to self-pity/indulgence.

Life starts without any form of self consciousness, then comes adolescence when one suddenly realises that the first thirteen years have done nothing other than mess you up. For the next seventeen years, we find it more important what other people think about us rather than what we think about ourselves. (This wears off after a few years when we finally come to realise that other people haven't actually been thinking about us at all)

Being yourself naturally has fashion implications. People who are truly themselves have a look which nobody else on the planet shares. Many people think they're expressing individuality in their hairstyle, but when looking at photographs thirty years in the future, you'll be modeling the classic cuts of the early 21st century.

Sexuality is often a large manifestation of you as a person. (I've said it before, and I'll say it again: anyone who's anyone is bisexual these days) this is why, I imagine, that the best sexual partners find it easy to be themselves in the bedroom...but I couldn't say that'd be wise if the other person is pissed off/bored at the time.

Scientifically, it's impossible to be yourself. I've been on google and now I know for a FACT that sub-atomic particles change under observation... and so do we! Depending upon what or who we are interacting with, we change slightly. We all have multiple personalities, and we whip out the one which works best in whatever situation we're in.

In conclusion, only shy people are actually themselves. It makes absolutely no sense to say that you're a shy person underneath. Shy people don't have underneaths; they wear their underneaths on top without protective covering.

So, who have I had a go at this post?
