It depends on if you mean attempting specifically to be nothing, or simply not trying to be anything in particular. In both cases, you'll still be something, but the former will be a distorted parody of an asymptote and the latter will be whatever comes naturally and unexaminedly

And that's assuming that your natural inclination is to be unexamined. Trying to cultivate unexaminedness is back to effortfully striving to be nothing

Flip it around a little bit, and “not trying to be anything” reminds me of Taoism.
