Don't ever be afraid to show who you really are, because as long as you are happy with yourself, no one else's opinion matters.

We've all heard the advice, Be Yourself. That advice is given for good intentions. It's to help us be confident in how we were created, and that the RIGHT people will take notice and want to be in our lives. What happens when being ourselves isn't good enough? We want to be liked by people, and there's nothing wrong with that. What's wrong is compromising your core values to be accepted by people who probably could care less about us. Think about it, people change their views on us like they change clothes. One minute, they think highly of us, and the next minute they dislike us. You can't put too much stock in people, even those who you know well enough that they won't dislike you without a good reason. If you have a bubbly personality with good reason, own that. Don't let anyone stop you from being yourself because they may feel slighted. They don't know your storm; they don't know what you went through to get that bubbly personality on your face. If you're a serious person, own that. Life isn't all roses and sunshine, sometimes you need to buckle down and get stuff done. Like this tweet reads, don't be afraid to show your true self, because as long as you're happy with yourself, no one else's opinion matters. Everybody has a story as to what made them who they are. If you're not feeding, clothing or financing someone, you have little to no say in how someone chooses to show their personality.
