This podcast was AI-generated by Google's NotebookLM based on an article which I wrote over here.
The article titled "Is Being Yourself as Trivial as It Sounds?" explores the common advice to "just be yourself" and examines whether it's a realistic and helpful approach.
I share my personal experience with this advice, initially accepting it as a universal truth. However, I eventually realize that my own behavior varies depending on the social context—I act differently with family, friends, partners, and authority figures.
I conclude that there's no single "authentic self" but rather a range of behaviors adapted to different situations. This realization helped me overcome the "guilt" of not being the same person in every interaction, accepting it as a natural human tendency.
The article then ends by encouraging readers to embrace the fluidity of their personality and to prioritize what works best for them in each social context.
