being yourself and how to build your identity in an era where personal portofolios are sold in markets

So I was looking through blogs, answering as usual and shit like that.And this blog about being yourself by somi (https://spacehey.com/profile?id=4205297) came into my sight.And icl, it was a neat read.So, since I have no idea abt what to post ever since my porn addiction blog, I think that I can give my opinion and talk about being yourself, something that seems to be hard these days...

WHY AREN'T PEOPLE BEING THEMSELVES ANYMORE?

Social pressures and norms have affected the way people present themselves and integrate in society as independent fellers with their own mindset and personality.Due to different trends, opinions and the average people's perception on others, most people rely on embracing a norm and copying behaviours or mindsets of others, in order to fit and be accepted and acknowledged by others around them.

IS IT A BAD THING?

The main reason that you can think of this as a bad thing is because it makes people seem like copypaste of others and being a cause of extinction of individuality and uniqueness.Even subcultures have been ruined and become norms by basic people because they like appealing people.Goths used to be unique and underappreciated by people, but now everyone likes them because goth girls are sexually appealing.And social media has made it more accesible for fellas to hate on people who wanna do their thing and be them, instead of copying everyone.

WHY YOU SHOULD BE YOURSELF AND BE THE ONE YOU TRULY DESIRE TO BE, WITHOUT EXPECTING ACCEPTANCE AND RECOGNITION!!!

You see, despite on how cool it seems to be like everyone else, uniqueness will always be more attractive.To be yourself is a challenge, as you have to uncover your mentality, personality, passions, likes/dislikes and hobbies throughout dedication and time.Is it a good thing?ABSOLUTELY!!!People are so boring nowadays that I can guarantee you that someone out of the blue will be more meaningful to talk to.But all of this charade is not all about being accepted by people, but bejng who you truly feel that you are and being your own person, with your own opinions, likes and many more!!!

WHY IT'S BETTER TO BE YOURSELF?

Being yourself means that you accept yourself with your negative traits, flaws and positive aspects.Being yourself is about truly understanding who you are and what things you have abt you.Why you shouldn't follow norms and opinions about different persons being weird?You shouldn't follow norms because you want to be your own person, with your own perceptions, opinions and ideas, instead of following the herd.You also shouldn't care if basic people will accelpt you or not, as it's better to find people for being who you are and for being different, rather than liking u cuz ur a carbon copy of them.

CONCLUSION

It's never too late to figure it out who you are.U can always dedicate time to self discovery and to build your own personality.Remember, be who you wanna be because you feel comfortable in being that, not because people tell you to be like that.
