Our is culture obsessed with realism but I want to ask, what if the universal notion of being authentic is based on a lie?

There's a belief that people are not who they claim to be not until they come across what will bring out their real self, underneath all masks, there's a real face that is yours, that's nothing but the truth. and how long will you be on the mask without unveiling it?
You have to be yourself and be genuine, let people know the real you, and stop hiding under the mask

Once you figure who you truly are and you also realize how to be yourself, you'll feel much happier. Make some positive changes about yourself and learn how to be proactive.

Below, I will be writing out  10 points about  pleasing yourself

1) Don't aim to please others: Just do what you know is the right thing for you to do, it's a big issue if you're working based on what people what you to do, you don't have even have the choice of your own. You don't have to please others and displease yourself... Just like I said, do what you know is right for you.

2) Don't worry about how others perceive you: Though at times, the way other people view us might want to change us to be good, but the truth persists that, you should not be wondering constantly what people speculate about you, if you want to change, make it your wish, and change into what or who you want to change into, enough of phony life.

3) learn more about yourself: Do you really know who you are? Ever since you're young, have you ever tried to do what pleases you? Though it might be weird to spend a day being your spontaneous self, you might be having a diverse feeling, but intrinsically, that's the only way you can learn how to be yourself.

4) Appreciate yourself: No how weird you may be, learn how to acknowledge who you are, everyone is unique in their way, and everyone has a little weirdness in themselves, so you have to appreciate it that way and let it go.

5) Be optimistic about who you are: have you ever been skeptical about yourself? Being skeptical will make you want to compare yourself with others constantly and will be wondering with the notion of "what if?"

6) learn how to forgive yourself: forgive yourself for the negative thoughts you've had, forgive yourself for the action you took without thinking twice. Don't ever feel bad for the wrong decision you have made in the past, because putting your mind there will make you focus more on the problem instead of looking for a solution. Say good things to yourself, the mistake has been made already and you just have to move on with life by making adjustments. Forgive yourself and say positive things about yourself.

7) Stop being pessimistic: it is important to be yourself and be stay positive. You can find it easy to be negative about yourself due to the catastrophe around you. But you can still be positive.

8) Do what you love doing: everyone has a hobby they love doing, figure out what you love to do and make a hobby out of it, have a passion for what you love doing. Doing what you love will always make you go be filled with happiness.

9) learn from your mistake: when you learn from your mistake. You'll get to know much about yourself, you'll have to know what you can do and your weakness as well. You know your real identity without pretense.

10) strive for what you want to accomplish: You can improve yourself while remaining true to yourself, you don't have to be glued in a status quote for the sake of being yourself, aim for what you want to obtain, and strive for the attainment.

thanks for your time !

We can't deny the fact that we tend to make a facade just to conceal what we truly are inside. On the contrary, I agree that we should learn from our mistakes because in that way we get to reassess ourselves, as a result, we will be able to understand ourselves even more.

well said, self awareness is the key. The more we realize and accept ourselves the way we truly are, the easier it would be for growth and favourable changes to take place in our lives.

Exactly, we know what we want, and our dislike, so no matter what people say or do, we still remain our self. I appreciate your comment

Inside you there is a you and unless we unmask the person behind what others see, we might not know ourselves. Everyone have a nature that is hidden not because they want to hide it but because most people don't know.

Thank you for the well outlined points, it will surely help us to know better.

I think nobody know our true face and we never know what we are capable of until we have been found in a bad situation. I love the points you gave and I believe if a person follows them religiously, they will be able to get the most out of life

Gbam!! The majority of people have not yet know their real self not until something happen, they they will bring out their real color.

Just a simple analogy, some people said you'll know the real person under the mask when a poor person becomes rich. That's the believe of the majority, but you can still be real you when you are not rich.
