I don't know... I think being yourself is generally good policy. If you're someone else, and someone makes friends with you, then actually they're not making friends with the real you, are they? Not much point in having them as friends (in terms of conversation). Also, carrying a charade of "being someone else" is quite stressful too. You have to live a life of biting your tongue, all day every day.
That said, there are situations where you shouldn't "be yourself", say, Job Interviews:
"I like to spend all day playing video games and watching anime, while avoiding work of any kind..."
"Right..."
