Just be yourself....

You cannot be yourself if you do not know, understand and accept yourself. You cannot imitate or follow someone to reflect yourself.   Find the time to dwell upon what you value and take time to consider what makes up the essence of who you are. Patiently open your mind and easily give space and allow yourself to grow, to improve, to become wiser, to forgive past errors and past behaviors you're not so proud of and also learn on accepting mistakes and choices you've made. You do not need others to tell you who you are and how you should be. Just listen to your own inner confidence and keep asking on how to develop yourself and continuously training on this would make you fully understood on how it works.

Learn to be honest and open in your daily life as we are all imperfect, growing, learning human beings. If you feel ashamed or insecure about any aspect of yourself and you feel that you have to hide those parts of you, whether physically or emotionally  then you have to come to terms with that and learn to convert your so-called flaws into individualistic quirks or simply as basic, down-to-earth acknowledgments of your own imperfections.

Just relax yourself and stop worrying about the worst that could happen in your daily  life especially in social situations. Be responsible for yourself and for self esteem development. If others aren't telling you you're great, don't let it get to you. Instead, tell yourself you're special, wonderful, and worthwhile. When you believe these things about yourself, others will recognize that glow of self-confidence and begin confirming your self-affirmations in no time.  Learn to communicate well - the better you can express yourself, the easier it is for the people who like you as you are to find you and the ones who don't to just steer clear. Never stop searching for your own strengths.
