Be All Ears

As regards everyone's be-the-best-version-of-yourself.

We all have heard that life is about being potentially you. Shall you embrace what you've got, being mature includes smiling to people you don't like. You have to follow the rules of game, or even better make the rules of game. You have to... Be fuckin yourself.
Yet one thing we manage to forget, sometimes when we determine to create our best selves, we are prone to clash with other people. Neither it is their ideas or literally their lives. Sometimes, we are insensible to annoy their territories.
Another interesting fact starts here;
when everyone starts to mark upon you, your ill-mannered be-yourself or hey-this-is-me doings, you are already doomed. I agree that be fuckin yourself can also be detrimental when being brought in a very selfish way. It starts with ignorance then it leads to an act of egotistical.
Everything is about me, this world is also about me.
You start to feel better than anyone else in the room.

Temporary, it might be just fine. People will find a way to cope with your stories and stuffs, yet that only happens when you are lovable enough. When you are not, when later you, again, are insensible to sicken others, you draw them further. Making others feel annoyed gets you to losing. Losing people who trust you, losing respect you hardly can earn back.

Your life, no matter how great you are, surely depends on your own choices and hands but shall you never forget : others have the potential, whether to love or to help you, or plain the otherwise. So, pay attention. Grow bigger and better but do not be so loud about yourself that you can't hear the voice of your surrounding. Be tender, stay gentle and true to your feeling. Show your potentially you in a harmless way. Don't go spoiled and naive to think that everyone will stretch their hearts in order to deal with your unpleasant endeavor.
You have to listen to what they say. Paradoxically, when they are not literally saying.
Or if you are confident enough that you're right, you're just being yourself, completely yourself,
and you don't have any guts to listen,
at least, open your eyes then see.
