Because lying and pretending to be something you are not ends up pissing everything up in the end.
-
Why would one need to be told that? When am I never myself? I can't be anyone else. I'll always be me.
-
What else can you be that will make an impression, or get you anywhere in life?
-
Because in the end you are who you are. The old saying, "the truth always comes out" is SO true!! Besides, it is a lot harder to be something you are not... why waste the energy!
-
I think it is commonly used because it makes so much sense. You can not trually change anyone but yourself, You have to be comfortable in your own skin in order to even have a chace to be happy. I know it sounds easy but it can be the hardest thing to do.
-
Because it often *Is* the answer. Because no matter what kind of mask you try to put on, you'll have to let your true self show through at some point. It's always better to let people know the real you, whether they turn out to like that real you or not. Because no one can pretend to be something they aren't forever. "Being Yourself", often just means do what you feel is right. And in so many situations, that is the only solution.

How can you screw up if you are yourself? Who you are is going to come out sometime, so as to not waste valuable time, just be yourself upfront. Easiest thing to do.
-
Because you may come off as ill at ease or phoney, making the other person uncomfortable or suspiscious. If you try to be someone else, it kind of reinforces a lack of confidence in who you are- kinda like the real you doesnt measure up. confidence on oneself is evident in the way you look, walk, speak, dress. Its a much better easier way to be.
-
If you're acting as someone else, you're basically lying and constantly hvng to think about who to be is quite complicated. Being yourself is being pure. It's who you are and you should be proud of it. (Well, unless you're a complete dick, in which case don't listen to this answer).
-
Because if you try to act out of character you'll give a false impression and why would you want anybody that you interact with to think you're anybody but you. Also it's easier, you don't have to pretend. I'll repeat it here, "Just be yourself".
-
- Because failing to be yourself is so commonly the cause of trouble; - Because trying to answer the question "who am I really?" is one of the best ways to become wiser - Because really coming to understand the meaning of "true self" does bring a certain amount of power with it.
-
Nobody likes a phoney.
