I always thought personality and 'being yourself' was a bit like 'flow' in sport. Chasing flow, as an athlete or a person, I think the answer is instinctive, but sometimes we get distracted and caught up by whatever and doubt comes in etc, we develop inhibitions, and that stops the flow of water, talent, personality.
Start recognising the things you do shy away from, dont put other people who can do certain things on a pedestal, things like little tactics to make the next step easier are alright, but dont lose sight that the main thing is to challenge yourself continuously. "Ooo, that made me feel a little out of my depth, Ill go in balls to the wall and fuck my shit up", learn from it, try again, its character building.

tldr; I guess my point is that its more so character building than skill set building. "Give a man a fish... teach him how to fish..." glhf
