Being "Yourself"

Think about the people in your life. With how many can you be totally yourself? If your answer is "with everybody", you are probably mistaken. Why? Because - if you are equipped with a certain dose of intuition - you realize that you cannot behave in the same way with everybody, all the time. If you actually do so, you will end up making several others feel uneasy. You need in fact a degree of diplomacy (not hypocrisy) in order to take other people's feelings into consideration, beside yours. Therefore - if you care - at times you have to refrain from expressing a blunt opinion, a harsh comment, a sharp word. In case you refuse such compromise, and insist in always being your "whole" self, with your moods and self-righteousness, you will keep on making others often uncomfortable in your presence.
