It’s hard to be yourself.
As a result of your position, you must always act a certain way. Again, push and pull comes to mind.
You know what I’m talking about: the boss who is always stern and severe, the coworker who is always joking around, the friend who is always… well, anything but herself.

3. Speak up!
You don’t need to be a loudmouth or an attention hog — speak up when there’s something important to say.

2. Do your own thing!
Don’t wait for someone else to give you permission or encouragement — find a way to do what matters most to you anyway.
