"Being yourself "

My personal perspective of "being yourself" is understanding your good qualities, and acknowledge them as the blessings of Allah (SWT) which will eventually help to gain confidence in one. When we are in the crisis moments, or become a victim of ridicule and mockery, this is the time to focus on our good qualities and just being yourself, and mental note to carry all the time for the victim and to those "unfortunate" ones who make fun of other people comes from Allah  “O you who believe, let not people laugh at people, for they may be better than them, nor let women laugh at women, as they may be better than them. Do not find fault with your own people, nor call one another by nick-names. Evil is a bad name after faith, whoever changes not is one of the wicked”. Al-Hujurat (The Apartments) verse 11.
