It's all upside down

Ok I feel like people go on and on about "being yourself" and "express yourself" and I agree that you shouldn't be afraid to be yourself.

But it's gotten to a point, and especially in celebrities, that it's not about being yourself anymore,but about showing everyone "look at me, I'm being myself!" even when that's not who you are. Why should expressing yourself have to mean being, how do you put this, a competition? I feel like if you are happy about who you are then why do you have to find a bunch of ways to show everyone. I love being original and doing my own thing, but I don't do it because "being original" is what everyone else is doing. If "original" is considered doing everything over the top then it isn't "original", is it?

And another thing is why should you be proud of "being yourself" when the image of "yourself" is not that great. There is nothing to celebrate about being drunk,sluty and wrong! If your so happy about being that kind of self and you don't want to improve and be a better kind of person..... then sorry, I have no respect for you.
