I guess basically be yourself. "The longer you spend being yourself, the less you will want to be anyone else" I guess...?

If you are genuinely a horrible person who has been faking nice but then you start spending more time being horrible, You will have a harder time faking. Or, if you are genuinely not horrible but have been pretending to be, you won't want to be anymore. So, which is it?

I think it's implied that you have to work on yourself also. So if someone's a "horrible" person, they need to actually change and improve themselves, rather than only pretending they're better / pretending they're someone else.

I think it’s referring more towards your authentic self. Not the mask you have in front of friends and the persona you carry on nor the mask you have when with family, but when you are alone and your most vulnerable and genuine self. I think this can also refer to your ambitions and aspirations that aren’t created by external influences such as your parents wanting you to be a doctor, lawyer, etc. or even what the world expects of you, but rather what YOU actually want and who you want to be. I think it means to be you despite any fear of being judged.

Hm, thanks. And honestly, thought I don’t know what I really am, I do know what I want to be. So I guess I’ll work for that and not be afraid of whatever mess I am rn
