JUST. BE. YOURSELF.

[rollwithYou]

your videos are AMAZING! love them! i'm out of the closet and sometimes i still feel like i'm being shot down by people, but i conquer these people and fight for myself. great vid!

[tempreclude]

You are my fucking hero.

[TheFellowYellow]

Amen Sister (that's ok right?)

[truevoiceofsanity]

HI PokeEuge. I can see why you get messages like that. Hell, I'm the opposite; I'm a straight guy who "looks" gay or more accurately looks how some people think gays should look. I've been attracted to a huge number of girls with "guyish" qualities. :P.

[NaluhCastro]

I'm pretty sure Euge is talking about accepting yourself. dealing with people around you is another topic, not the exactly context here.

[MrExtermin8ter]

WAIT!! whats that stuff in the background on her left(our right)?? Just curious, looks like models of stuff

[history90001]

u made me cry D:

[akonni2]

Euge just gave an ADVICE not a commandment. heck, even a commandment is bein neglected. So its your decision to follow it or not. It's YOUR LIFE. And whether you want to be yourself or not, to be happy or not, to try or not, everything has a advantage/disadvantage. It's upto you to decide. THINK man! THINK! What's the use of your brain if you aint usin it?

[M3MillenuimThree]

Just be your self, simple enough to understand ^^

[truevoiceofsanity]

@M3MillenuimThree Easy to understand, hard to do and yet, impossible to not do. What is yourself? What areas are valid to improve what ones are not. What is an ;). Her message is as usual awesome. She has a gift, I really think. As a geeky, "gay" looking, straight guy, best wishes to these girls. For the record, I've gone crazy over lots of girls "wearing guys clothes" and whatever.

[MrShelikes]

"if people keep giving you shit, tell them you're not a toilet." LOL.

[internalfire96]

Just what I do throw up my middle finger and say want some come get it! I don't give shit what people say about me, and you and Dahive Vanity have helped that!:)

[xXxSailorNekoxXx]

Euge, I love you <3

No homo. xD

[Blackdegutt]

Lol! "Don't act like a toilet. If they keep giving you shit, and you keep taking it, they're just gonna come back and give you more shit." Words of wisdom ftw.

[xInSanityzWARx]

Thank You for making my day Euge :) *smiley face*

[scottyboy76567]

I was going to troll that I wasn't sure if the be was a verb or an insect, but then you went ahead and said it was a verb. Now I'm angry.

[pokeeuge]

@scottyboy76567 I know my audience well enough. Muhahaha.

Also fun fact that most people don't know that "be" is a verb on its own.

[xxxmelissa96]

its hard to be urself T.T

[sephirothhakkate]

when i found out who i really am,a guy with a big dream, i thought can i do this? can i sit here and let people tell me"you cant" i did and when i got sick of it i exploded with energy...GET THIS PEOPLE "THEY WILL THROW DIRT ON U WHEN YOUR HERE AND WHEN U DIE"so dont give in and if someone has a problem with who u are do wat i do and say "hey fuck u" u have to be real in this world or people wont aknowledge u.listen to Euge and dont do it cuz she said so do for u and no one else

[Mensahwatts]

But...how can they be theirself when...they dont know what they are meant to be? Its like to beeee are not to be? But which is it to be?

[pokeeuge]

@Mensahwatts The act of being is already a step in its own.

As for what to be, it's to be themselves. What's themselves? Whatever makes them happy. Whatever they like.

Don't know what makes them happy? Try out many things then. What things? Anything. Don't want to? Why? They have nothing to lose.

And how can one even possibly describe what they're meant to be? "I'm meant to be a doctor," okay, well what about that says anything about a person?

Listen carefully to the video.

[Mensahwatts]

@pokeeuge I did listen to it...but often what makes one happy does not mean its a good thing...and so...starts the conflect with your saying "just be yourself." Or be whatever makes you happy...

[pokeeuge]

@Mensahwatts And so this would lead to my video, "Value of Opinions".

Again, I'm trying to give my viewers the benefit of the doubt that they can actually think more for themselves.

I answer one general question and people come at me with specifics within the question... I'm already living my own life, I don't want to take care of another, and another that I barely even know.

[pokeeuge]

@Mensahwatts What if I answer, "Oh, then you shouldn't do this because it's not right, even if it makes you happy" and then someone comes in and says, "It's okay in my country and it makes me happy, why can't I do it?"

It's just an endless stream of questions that will never end because the person does not think at all.

I answer one question with hopes that it'll open up doors for your own thought, only to get all these "conflicts" and "oh, what if this happens", does this honestly help?

[Mensahwatts]

@pokeeuge The question I am getting at is simply, how does one know what to be? To know this answer is...to be right? Because beyound feelings and emotions that drive you to be...if you truely KNOW what to be, then that is what drives you to be what you are meant to...be...that makes sense right?

[pokeeuge]

@Mensahwatts You speak without the thought that people change.

One could think they're meant to be a doctor at the age of 16, only to find out that they want to become an engineer at the age of 20, and many more changes after that.

One may "know" to a certain extent, but it won't override what they feel.

It's what one feels that drives them to something, more so than what they know.

[Mensahwatts]

@pokeeuge So my last comment didnt make sense?

[truevoiceofsanity]

@pokeeuge Definitely a case where language breaks down. Feelings can be deceptive sometimes but over time, one can learn, where one's talents and interests lie. These interests will change over time and in addition, one's self understanding can change over time. In short, we are all doomed to "figure it out" on our own, with others at best providing nice suggestions along the way. Then we die. :(.

[toric90]

ahaha yous said shit like every 10 seconds

[kiirotaiyou]

you should do it in various languages lol~

[Drazkhat]

i m still in process of discovering myself i hope i come to know myself better

[Cassy4u09]

Amen @ alot of stupid people - Living in ancient times...even though we're on the 21st century, people {mainly men} still think women should be in the kitchen..they still think women shouldn't be recognised for anything...I'm glad you made a video about people labellng, confusing themselves for what they are..I am sick of people doing labels and I'm sick of them wanting to categories their personality...Just live by the things that make you happy, you don't have to say you're a certain label!

[toratorasama]

"I can't magically make you feel better.."

Yes, you can.

Thanks Euge.

[DieTwinsCousinen]

hahahha just be yourself.....haha i luuuuuuuuuuuv chuuu <3 :D

[MangoLuve]

The amount of times i heard the word shit was amazing *_*

[SakuraBabyful2]

I agree 100% Euge, i mean I'm a girl and am Tomboyish and people have said things and made comments about me like im wierd/Stupid for being one But i didn't back down i still my ground and told them off imma be me weather anyone like or not i will continue to be myself and never let people bring me down for their own inconsisticies (hope i spelled it right) anyway thanks for that video and i just wanted to say my piece again Thanks

[sephirothhakkate]

@SakuraBabyful2 u tell 'em

[truevoiceofsanity]

@SakuraBabyful2 If you are straight, you should know, guys are dumb. That sentence will have more meaning over time. Lots of guys are attracted to tomboys, if having guys attracted to you is important to you. People will say mean things, no matter who you are. Hell, they say mean things about supermodels or "successful" people too. Girls that do guy's things are often pretty cool. Anyway, those were the one's interested me, until my current. Glad ur happy in ur skin. Life is too short.

[chefseb29]

this is so beautiful :3 made me feel better

[Chelsiebear95]

lol it sounds like plain common sense to me :P

[MrHankeyy]

well said euge!

[sykoTomBoy]

You are a really good person ..

I mean any other person will just ignore these Q's

Your really awesome & you make alot of people feel better ..!

Thank you from all of us <3

[lainnorcal]

granted, that is great and all... the problem is when "being yourself" clashes with things like coworkers and certain family members an so on if i was "being myself' things could actually go worse.

wishful thinking...

didn't mean to sound rude btw. just a viewpoint is all.

[pokeeuge]

@lainnorcal This is when I would suggest watching my video on "Value of Opinions".

I understand your viewpoint, but I can't answer every single little aspect of a person's life, because my videos won't go on for 4 minutes, they'd go on for 5 days.

I would like to think that my viewers have more thought than just listening to me.

[lainnorcal]

@pokeeuge indeed, thanks for responding. *^_^*

an ill take a look at that vid.

[truevoiceofsanity]

@lainnorcal Common sense is common sense. In the context of the video, one of these girls "being herself" at work may well, just mean she takes a job as an engineer and does great at it. Because guys like tomboys, she may soon find herself beating them off with a stick. Ironically, her ballee example? I knew an attractive Chinese female Engineer who married (I'm not making this up) a male balay dancer. She asked HIM out. He probably had a great body. She was definitely cute. Curses.

[detty223]

@lainnorcal I can agree with this. HOWEVER: this is where you have to be yourself in your head, kinda of. I find that in my own experience (though it's probably not a good thing...) I tend to show different parts of myself depending on where I am. I once drew a picture detailing my mind and how I act to a friend, and they were a bunch of overlapping sectors of responsible me, random me, etc. The real me? the overlap in the middle. If you can't be you to others, just be part of you, I guess...

[detty223]

@lainnorcal ...scratch all that shit I just said. KNOW YOURSELF. Work on being yourself if you can. ;)

[lainnorcal]

@detty223 sounds good to me ^^

[soulsiege]

So, what are you trying to saaaaaaaaaay -shifty eyes shifty eyes-

[ToxicLacedRainbows]

Thank you <3 This is the advice I tell everyone and it's bothersome when they don't understand it... Then they finally understand and it helps them tons! :)

[andrew5116]

Yo self!
