To "Stay true to yourself" means to believe what you want to believe, fight for what you want, dream what you want, and don't let anyone else's opinion knock yours down.
Your peers might be telling you this because of the way you act. Keeping things bottled up and pretending not to care are perfect examples of not staying true to yourself.
As hard as it may seem, try to step up and be who you want to be, stop hiding!

Hey, staying true to yourself... wow, for many this can be a hard and tricky thing to accomplish...
basically what it means is to be your own leader. Don't be a follower and do what other people are doing just because it is the "in" thing to do/because everyone else is doing it.It also means to be able to express yourself as you are... in other words, don't be afraid to express you emotions and what you are feeling to others. Show yourself to others as you really are and don't be afraid to be rejected and or made fun of... this is all part of life and part of who you are. People are going to value you for being yourself and expressing your thoughts, opinions, and deepest feelings to those you trust. Not being afraid to do these things will only make life easier for you thus, opening doors to great experiences depending on who you choose to trust as well as letting other know that you do indeed care and are willing to be a part of something great. It might be hard but opening up about how you really feel about certain things can only help you grow both emotionally and mentally. I wish you the best of luck and remember your ABC'S!... *Avoid Bad, Company

hi, i know what its like to bottle things up inside, its what some people feel is best or the right thing to do, but really its not, its un-healthy to bottle things up you should have at least one person that you can talk too,if you dont have anyone to talk too, you could right a journal this way your feelings are being let out, but you dont need to say anything to anyone if you dont want too.
being true to your self is about when you own the choices you make in your life. When you doubt yourself, others will doubt you. When you believe in yourself, in time, others will believe in you too.
basically be your true self! (be your self)let your self be free and dont worry what people think of you if something bothers you, say so.
