I have personally found that 'be genuine' is a far better phrase. In 'being yourself' lies this assumption that the situation has all ready been experienced and a stance has been formed in congruence with ones perceived identity, but 'being genuine' is more dynamic in nature and can be applied to the reaction to new situations and varying reactions to prior situations.

For me the big break was really just learning to be emotionally honest with people. To tell them I am not in the mood as opposed to making up some excuse as to why Iâm not going to the party. To express discomfort or insecurity in a way such that my actions arenât just out of left field for everyone around me. I donât really feel a need to hold secrets anymore and as such Iâm happier than Iâve ever been in my life

Look, when someone says 'be yourself', what they really mean is that they want you to put on a performance of genuine comfort with yourself and interest in the things you like, but in a socially acceptable manner. If you're anxious or disquieted with yourself or in a place where you don't get joy from things- tough, 'be yourself' instead.

personally i think âbeing yourselfâ is difficult because sometimes who we perceive as ourselves can hold us back from who we really are. in social situations i get in my own head a lot and appear to be really quiet, which i am naturally. but when i associate that âquietnessâ with being myself i block myself from making conversation because itâs ânot who i amâ. for me i would say to âbe who you really areâ. it helps to peel back the layers of made up personality and get to whatâs actually me.

Being yourself is good advice as long as you are not lazy, socially awkward, out of shape, boring, inexperienced, addicted, passive, indecisive, overly sensitive, depressed person. The problem is everytime I was myself, I would waste time scrolling the internet and social media especially Youtube, not look for a job, practice coding, not work out, stay up late, neglect my hygiene, avoid meditating. When your whole life is a mess, being yourself is basically remain stuck in a rut and self destruct.

personally ive just abandoned the idea of boiling down people to simple terms, you certainly can spot some recurring themes in peoples behavior. But this thing about categorizing and labeling everything is an illogical want we have as humans. I think the truth is that not everything can be labeled and simply accept it as it is.

I literally, physically and mentally, find so much comfort from your videos. You make complicated subjects (not just philosophies) look so much simpler to understand. You made me understand more about myself, and the world around me. Bro, I hope you know that youâre amazing, underrated and the coolest person ever.

Interesting to see research backing what I have been slowly empirically noticing lately.
I usually break down this "jUsT bE YoUrSeLF!" advice into two more complex to explain ones.
1 - Have a designed intent behind everything you do and be conscient of it at all times
2 - Have sound internal integrity between what you value and your designed intents (that translates to actions)

I think eventually it boils down to taking a hard stare at oneself and deciding what they wish to achieve in the long-term and in the short-term depending on the circumstances and aligning their actions and motivations with their pursuit. But because we spend majority of our time and lives in the pursuit, making that conquest worthwhile and satisfying is where one's happiness and fulfilment lies.
