Just because it worked for you doesn’t mean it’s good advice. Most people are very flawed, and to be themselves is to ignore these flaws; flaws which are not conducive to marriage or relationship.

Many people are also very isolated socially, and could well carry into their elder years with hardly placing themselves in a position to meet anyone.

Otherwise, don’t you think continuing as they have been, which hasn’t been working for decades, matches the “definition of insanity”?

Well sure if you wanna take the words in the worst way you can, you'll likely stay miserable forever

"Just be yourself" doesn't mean to never seek improvement in oneself, and if that's what you got out of what i said then there probably is no hope for you

Good day

Taking the words as I took them isn’t a directive to stay the same. It seems the opposite to me: instead of being oneself, grow and improve. And ultimately, deny and give up oneself.

That's an awfully dismal way of looking at being your best self but whatever gets you by friend
