I think that there’s a comfy middle ground between giving into every horrible trait you have to the detriment of everyone around you, and molding yourself into a character just to please everyone around you.
Learning how to “Be yourself” just means learning how to take your core personality and cultivate it into being your own person that also knows how to get along well with society at large.
This is definitely true. My litmus test is simply empathy. If I were them, would I want to have a stranger (me) do this thing I'm about to do? If the answer is no, then I don't do it.
I think it's simpler than that. If you need to pretend to be a different person so others will accept you, then you'll spend your life pretending to be something you're not. If you just be yourself, then anyone who accepts you is accepting the real you rather than a false front you put on.
Note that there's a difference between pretending to be what you're not vs changing yourself into something different.
