It means act exactly how you are and don't change yourself to suit the nefarious intentions of sensitive little snowflakes.

Don't do or say something because someone or the situation at hand expects it of you. Do or say what you feel.

No that's not good dating advice. Umm... I've been waiting a long time to have this talk with you. There's three things you have to know about when trying to get a woman. The first is whatever you think you should do...do the opposite. In many areas of life, instinct will get you there. Not with women.

The second thing is you need is to be sensitive. Women don't just want a man who is big and strong and has abs like mine, women want a man who is in touch with his most inner emotions. They want a thinker, they want a feeler. Someone who can understand them.

And the third thing. The most important of all. It's something women have responded to for thousands of years. You have got to do the pec pop of love.

Don't overthink it. Just do what comes naturally, no matter how stupid it may seem at the time. Don't hold yourself back.

We hate furries because of the crazy ones if you aren't crazy then you are fine in my book
"Crazy" is defined in many ways, young one

So that's why I'm still single...

What if you have multiple personalities? Can you be all of your selves at the same time?

What if the not yourself outer projection eventually mutates into the real yourself until you are being yourself? And the once "yourself" is just some weird phase you had back when you were weird and moody in middle school?

You're still as sweet as...chocolates!!!!


It literally means to be who you are and don't change yourself into something better or perfect. People just have to accept you for you being you with flaws and all included. If they don't accept you, kick them back to the cave they crawled out.

It means be the version of yourself that you are when you're going for a job interview you'd really like to get that includes benefits, a health plan, and free lunch every Thursday.

The version of yourself you would be if you always had two hours to dedicate to your appearance.

The you that you see in the mirror when you've had a particularly good hair day. (Including good hair.)

In other words, if you are anything like the people who end up on a zelda forum, be nothing like yourself.

Or as my mother once put it: be the version of yourself that doesn't include snarkiness, absurdity, neuroticism, deranged interests, a habit of wearing flower headbands like you think giving peace a chance worked, quick comebacks, sarcasm, or cynicism...in other words I should put some lipstick on and try to nod and smile more than talk and smirk.
