Not even. For an example, I watched my best friend at the time manipulate tons of women, calling each of them by the same pet name, "love," while saving any online conversations with them so he could laugh at them later. You could argue he was 'being himself,' but the notion that he was the sum of his portrayal is moronic.
My advice to Lobster would have been better summed up by "figure it out" than "be yourself," but the latter seemed more charitable. Anything that someone does, obviously, is 'being [themselves]'. By default, by definition.
I think HK is cute. I like pink. I dress in these things sometimes. I like being cute. I like the attention, for one thing. So am I being myself or not? By your definition, who can say?
And everyone is a hypocrite. EVERYONE.
