Being just yourself means you're unselfconscious in that moment. Or maybe we're all self-conscious to an extent. You meet a pretty girl, you're different from when you meet a tough kid on the street.

I came to admire this machine which could lift virtually any load strapped to its back and carry it anywhere in any weather, safely and dependably.
