I think you should be yourself because its better. Why would you want to be fake by trying to be someone else. And you might be following someone who cant make good decisions. You dont want to follow someone who might be into doing drugs or drinking because then you'll think its cool and ok and then you'll mess up you life because of it. So i think that you should stick with being yourself. Even if being yourself may be weird or crazy to other people. It doesnt matter to the ones who mind, it matters to the ones who dont mind. Always keep that in mind. =] [ lifesuntoldlies's advice column | Ask lifesuntoldlies A Question ]

Even though you may maintain to follow in another persons footsteps or follow others, you're still YOU, no matter what, and you're still your own individual. You may some common interests with another person and may think yall are both the same but in truth, you're an individual, and all people are diffrent.
thelaura answered Monday March 3 2008, 11:50 am: Depends how you look at it. If you want to follow others to fit in, then that's obviously silly and leaves nothing to the imagination. You should be yourself - You are an individual. You are unique. You're entitled to make your own decisions and have your own opinions. No-one is the same as you, so stand out in your own way. and if others don't like you for it, then they're not worth your time anyway. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

CShusho answered Monday March 3 2008, 12:35 am: That is not a very easily answered question in my opinion. In reality, I believe that for you to answer yourself that question it is more important to understand what your own belief system is. However, there are good belief systems and wrong belief systems.
In my opinion, you need to be yourself before you follow others and you need to know yourself as well. If you don't, you would readily and easily be called a "follower", which usually has a poetic image of someone who doesn't have a mind for itself to think for and so faithfully depends on another sometimes less than himself in terms of, let's say, righteousness.
Also, one should only follow when there is a specific idea that should be followed, or a specific virtue that should be learned. Otherwise, one should never follow those that are blind and know little about what is right from wrong.
My advice would be, be yourself, and try that that "yourself" always seeks to be the best it can in the virtues of the human spirit; and always follow when you recognize that you should follow, but never out of a blind admiration.
MODERNDURATION answered Sunday March 2 2008, 11:46 pm: the answer may seem easy..
be yourself but for some following that is hard i of course choose to be yourself reason being people admire someone with confidence and who is willing to be different, thats exactly why people follow others because they admire their individually and desire to have it along with all the benefits. So in conclusion being who you are is truely the best.
HottStuff answered Sunday March 2 2008, 10:35 pm: I'd say deffinatly be yourself!
Like why would you want to follow others?
It would be WAY better to be yourself than a follower!!! [ HottStuff's advice column | Ask HottStuff A Question ]
