What happens if you have no positive qualities? I know people say to be fake in those cases, which I usually end up doing.

As long as you don't complain if being yourself doesn't work in your favor, because then everyone will fucking tell you it's you that needs to change.

Yes it is good advice, as long as it is paired with another piece of advice: never stop improving yourself. Authenticity isn't inherently a good or bad thing, but its important to remember to challenge yourself on what it is you want to be authentic about.

It is good advice because you want a girl to like you for who you are. If you have to walk on eggshells around a girl or not be yourself, she isn't worth it.

Be yourself (assuming you are extroverted and decent looking). That's most dating advice for you.

Be yourself as in, be honest with a girl. As guys we tend to try to do the things we think the girl will like, but just act in accordance to how you'd normally act in other scenarios as opposed to how you act when you're trying to garner interest from a girl.

True, I should focus on the real me.

They are the wrong people if they can't accept that I have no emotions, love video games and anime, not fit and lie around all day and being lazy!

If being yourself only leads to failures, then the correct advice is to improve yourself first so that being yourself doesn't lead to inevitable failure.

I think being yourself means to just relax and not try too hard. Not necessarily to ignore your flaws and refuse to change anything, but just be true to yourself and don't pretend to be something you're not.

Improving yourself to change and actually be a certain way is a different thing from just pretending to be that way, if that makes sense. Its weird to explain.

"Be yourself" taken literally is bad advice. It's short for "don't obsess over fitting in/play into your strengths".

It's good advice. It's just not the advice that lazy-ass mofos want to hear.

It's more like "be yourself so you don't have to maintain the charade every day for the rest of your life."

How do you know what to improve though, and is it easy?

I wish you can do things with little effort. I'm VERY lazy and don't like to put in work or effort in anything I ever do.

it's good advice either way because if you are naturally charismatic then that's what you want to be, and if you aren't and try to fake it, then people will be able to tell that you are faking it and it won't work anyway


So if you aren't you should just stay that way forever? Cause being yourself will expose that for life.

Practice is literally the best help. Go socialize and work through the anxiety. Afterwards, think about if there were any lost opportunities and pat yourself on the back for things you did that seemed good.
