Being Yourself is such an impossible to quantify term. Your self is comprised of many disparate things that help to format who you are, and much of that will be beliefs or actions or styles or whatever that are influenced by others. You taking them on, consciously or not, doesn’t mean the changed you isn’t the real you. I don’t think many people actually try to be someone else, but rather they copy or take on traits for any number of reasons.
I do think it comes down to not intentionally trying to be someone else, I have seen many people do that in an attempt to be more popular or w/e (particularly back in high school) sometimes it genuine and other times I’m like… Why?
