Word for not being afraid to be yourself

Don't be afraid to be yourself

People can’t accept you, when they see the strength in you and weakness in themselves.

Never hate your family because in worst time of your life, they will be the only people around you who support you.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind. ~ Bernard Baruch

Make sure you are treating the people around you the way you would like them to treat you. ~ Cheryl Manning

Be who you really are. Don’t try to act different. Your originality is the beauty that you treasure.

Everyone is unique because no one can be like you. There are many virtues in you. People always try to find fault with others, look at their criticism positively.

One of the reasons why others can’t accept you is because they know they can never defeat you or cannot even compete with you. ~ Mark Ibasco

As long as you know that what your doing is right and your following God’s word and plan for your life don’t worry about what others say and think about you.

If you are a kind person and you treat the people with very good intention and being fair their negativity will change. ~ Amalia Cruz

It is a common phrase of advice. You hear it all the time. ‘Just be yourself.’ It sounds like a great achievement we all strive toward. But hold on a minute. What does this mean?
It’s confusing — Is a narcissist supposed to stay narcissistic because of who they are? Should people with social phobias just stay locked in their walls?

The true self are fearless and unmasked.

Now think about this: the narcissist and the hermit are not being who they really are. They are overshadowed by their self-fear and thoughts. True selves are letting go of labels and clouded judgments placed on us. No pretentious masks. We are who we are when we shed off cloaks of other people. When we claim ‘this is who I am’, it is just a self-assumption. A lifetime of accumulated beliefs and thoughts are ingrained in you to shape your life and you need to reshape into the real you.

Reach your ‘inner child’ and loosen up a little bit.

Noticed how children freely do what they want to do and care little what the rest think? They stay happy in their moment. This is representative of true nature. They have not yet been socialized to fit in the norm. They do not care if people may think they are silly or reckless.

When we try to fit in the society, we suppress the true self-nature built from fearful thoughts about what others may think. If you are worried about being judged, it is not the real you that you’re worrying about, it is the you that’s created by the social norm.

Get in touch with you. Be available to yourself.

Be aware of the quality of your thoughts. Allow yourself some quiet moments every day. Observe your thoughts carefully. Our unconscious beliefs have been handed down by others, and this is who we believe we are. Let go of old beliefs that boggle your present and reveal the true you. We are more than that old ingrained negative thoughts.

Follow your intuition.

The most important part of being you is to follow your intuition. When you feel obligated to others, their happiness becomes more important than yours. You ignore your urge to move to a new place, you stay at unfulfilling jobs because you are afraid of what others may think of you. Stepping out of the comfort zones make you look like a failure to others, so you stick to your old habits and build incredible unhappiness.

When you start following your urges and desires, you hop onto a pathway destined for awesomeness. No denying there may be humps and bumps on the road, but when you are aligned with the calling of your inner soul, you steer into the best direction ahead. If you are miserable in a job that is out of character for you, quit it. You will land back on your feet in time in an even better job.

Free yourself.

Evaluate how much you care about other people’s perceptions of you, and you may find that you’ve stuffed your natural self away into a binding locked box. Suppressing yourself to fit in and please others may bring you anger, depression, and shyness which is not really the true you.

When you feel like getting attached to labels or stories, relax, breathe and get into the moment. Think about how you would act in that situation if you did not care what other thought of you. Let go of the thoughts about how others think about you, do what you love, and you’ll connect your true nature with your inner happiness, allowing your real self to shine.

What would your response be if I asked you, «What is your biggest fear?»

You might answer «public speaking» or «spiders.» Other answers may be more on the introspective side and be something like, «I have a fear of dying alone,» or «I have a fear of developing a disease that greatly impacts my current lifestyle.»

All of those fears are understandable and likely shared by many human beings. However, in the time that I have spent exploring both my own internal landscape as well as the clients that I am privileged to walk alongside, I have come to understand that often our biggest fear lies much deeper than anything I have mentioned so far.

I believe that our biggest fear is just being ourselves. And I’m here to say it — don’t be afraid to be yourself. Below are the steps to take to overcome this fear and learn how to be happy with yourself.

Don’t be afraid to be yourself.

Often I see most of us (myself included) adjusting what we say, how we look, the way we act, etc. to fit whatever we believe our current situation requires. We check the «temperature» of the room, the conversation, or the relationship, and then we choose to only expose a part of ourselves.

The part that we believe will gain us acceptance, love, recognition, or whatever else we are seeking.

Why do we do this? Why are we not able to fully express our true selves? What I have come to understand is that most of us believe that if we actually allow the true, authentic, genuine parts of ourselves to be fully expressed then we also run the risk of those parts of ourselves not being accepted.

The idea of someone rejecting a «false» or partial part of ourselves is generally not desirable, but ultimately not nearly as scary to us as our authentic self being rejected.

So we put on masks, add filters to what we say (and don’t say), and build up defenses so that we can «protect» these very intimate and seemingly vulnerable parts of ourselves.

What’s the problem with all that? Well, in a word…everything. Most of the surface issues that my clients come to me concerned about (relationships issues, work, emotional states, etc.) I have found to often be manifestations of not being either willing or able to fully express their own personal truth in their lives.

When we continually act as a chameleon to whatever external stimuli exist in our lives, we move farther and farther away from what genuinely resonates with us. The more out of alignment we become the more dis-ease tends to follow in almost any aspect of our lives.

If you are still reading this, I’m going to assume that you believe that you have at least a small fear of sharing your true, authentic self, and that you understand where this fear comes from and why it may be causing some problems in your life.

So, the next logical question is «What do I do about that?» Allow me to offer some suggestions that have worked well in my own life and in the lives of my clients.

Four steps to learn how to be happy with yourself:

1. Find out where you’re not feeling comfortable.

Become aware of areas of your life (both internally and externally) where you may not feel like you are fully expressing yourself. One of the tools I have found quite useful for this sort of deep self-inquiry is psychedelics.

I have found it is even better if you are able to combine the powerful molecules found in psychedelic plant medicines with a supportive, trusting relationship with a good friend, therapist, or other support professional.

Having a safe container where you can explore your own internal landscapes in a non-judgmental and supportive way can provide you with the opportunity to come face to face with the deepest parts of yourself without the immediate concern of «Is this part of myself going to be accepted or not?»

2. Letting go of your ego can help you learn how to be yourself around others.

Understand that no one is really all that interested in you or what you are doing. I don’t mean this in a negative way, but simply that I have found it to be true.

Most of us are primarily (if not almost exclusively) focused on ourselves pretty much all the time. Coming to this realization has been one of the things that have provided me with a vast amount of freedom in my life to live in a way that’s in alignment with who I am now, and also who I want to be as I move forward.

3. Ease out of feeling self-conscious one step at a time.

Practice exposing small parts of your authentic self where it feels safe, perhaps starting in your own home. Then move forward with little steps that each feel slightly more edgy than the last step.

One way I practice this is by popping in some headphones, turning on a favorite song, and dancing my way through the grocery store.

Do you know who seems to care or be concerned? Nobody. How beautiful is that? Remember, every journey is completed one step at a time.

4. People struggle with feeling comfortable, and a happy life involves turning this around.

I mentioned earlier that most of us act as temperature gauges. We check the temperature of «the room» and then adjust ourselves accordingly. I would encourage you to consider trying to move from temperature gauge to thermostat.

A thermostat sets the temperature. If the room feels too «cold,» it warms it up. When the temperature gets too «hot,» it provides a nice cool breeze to chill everything out.

Being open and honest takes time.

If this sounds like it has the potential to be a fairly long and challenging road, I can tell you from personal experience that it certainly can be. I don’t believe that it has to be, but often it’s not an overnight change either.

The desire we have for feeling acceptance from others is hard-wired into our DNA. From a very early age, we are taught to do certain things to win affection, and to not do other things to make sure we are included or accepted.
