If you have tried the ‘just be yourself’ strategy then you’ve probably realized it’s not such a simple matter. But what’s the alternative? What does it mean to ‘try to be normal’? What is “normal?” Trying to be normal could mean trying to do what everyone else does and following the strategies that work for other people. But you might soon realize that no one strategy could continuously work. Still, I realize that I can use any strategy as long as when I am trying to be someone else, I still know who I am and I still like who I am.
