I think it's simpler than that. If you need to pretend to be a different person so others will accept you, then you'll spend your life pretending to be something you're not. If you just be yourself, then anyone who accepts you is accepting the real you rather than a false front you put on.

Note that there's a difference between pretending to be what you're not vs changing yourself into something different.
