Why "Just Be Yourself" Can Be a Harmful Thing to Say
Gia Duc Le |
TEDxYouth@ISV
• December 2020
In his talk, Duc grapples with the notion of "self" and how one's selfhood can be influenced by others. He offers his own ideas about happiness as deeply intertwined with one's perception of their own self. He elaborates on why he no longer lives for others, and along the way shows how damaging the hollow and meaningless phrase "just be yourself" can be to a person.
