It would seem so. It is a fine balance. But being true to oneself (at least in my definition) doesn't preclude change or adaptation. I think We are all in a state of becoming, and hence can pick and choose what we become. But you must never "pretend" or deny your past or the things about yourself that you can't change.

If you, for example, take a particular person or group of people as a role model then aim to develop the required characteristics and make them your own. Still be you - but with those characteristics rather than pretending to actually be that other person. It's hard to explain but I'm sure you know what I mean. To anyone with any social skill it is painfully obvious when someone is faking.
