Sometimes some people wear masks and then change them depending on the circumstances. To be themselves for such individuals is a real luxury, although they themselves have put themselves in such conditions.
Instructions
Step 1
Be honest with yourself. Let while you pretend to someone, want to seem better, more interesting, smarter than you are. But in front of yourself you should not bend your heart. Confess what you want, what is important to you, why you act in one way or another, what feelings guide you, what emotions, fears you hide in the depths of your soul. Open up to yourself, and it will be easier for you to find your own personality.
Step 2
Understand that there is no point in pretending to other people. First, on a subconscious level, others may feel your insincerity. A hypocritical person can hardly count on someone's sympathy. Second, your idea of what other individuals want you to be may be wrong. It turns out that you are playing a role in vain in front of people, they may not appreciate it. Third, remember that you are living for yourself to enjoy the world, not live up to someone else's expectations. Focus on yourself and stop looking at other people's opinions of you.
Step 3
Become a courageous person. Stop being afraid to show your true colors. Don't think what people will say. The harmony that will come to your soul after you become yourself is valued much higher than the sympathy of other people. Some individuals fear that they themselves will not like what they get by taking off their masks. To do this, you need to accept yourself and love.
Step 4
Don't compare yourself to anyone. This is a bad and unconstructive habit, especially if the comparison is not in your favor. Remember that all people are different. In addition, the seemingly ideal individual may have serious flaws that you don't even know about. Therefore, there is no need to create idols for yourself. There can be only one star for you - yourself.
Step 5
Reveal your talents, improve, develop your own abilities. Working on yourself will help you become an interesting, self-sufficient person. Then there will be no need to pretend to be someone. After all, when an individual moves towards his goals, lives in accordance with his needs, he feels inner harmony and more and more fully reveals himself to others and to himself.
Step 6
Don't do what you absolutely don't want to do. Acting contrary to your own principles, beliefs and tastes, you break yourself. Do not overstep your desires, your own opinion. Then you will have more opportunity to be yourself, and not to act as others or circumstances require. In a difficult situation, try to find an alternative that will allow you to remain true to your values.
