I have hated the quote "Be yourself." for long, the fact that we're imperfect as humans means that we need to gradually change ourselves. If you have a problem with anger, get yourself a leash. If your problem is shyness, drown yourself in society. Living means that eventually we need to feel that annoying feeling of stepping outside the comfort zone. Sure though, many people have tried their best doing this, but still doesn't succeed. They deserve respect. But it doesn't mean they should givein.
