I have been told many times to be myself. I see myself as a manifestation of many me's, not a single one. Kind of like Brahma.
Yeah, its entirely futile to tell a person to be themselves because whatever they are at that time is a manifestation of their moods and their environment ultimately culminating to create a self...so they are being themselves. I know what you mean though bird. I've heard thats how thwey see the self in asian philosophy.
We all have many facets that compose our being and makes us who we are. tha is what makes the human being so fascinating.
awesome, that earned a true chuckle. still, i'm of the opinion that there are only a few facets of me: the 300 pound drag queen, the horny teenaged boy, and the absentminded professor.
indeed. i wonder if i could get away with dressing up as a drag queen for halloween, even though i'm a woman. i always wanted to be a drag queen. they're so cool. i'm just not that emotive, though.
I agree, I know it depends on how I feel on what type of personality Im going to have and I belive it's pretty much that way with everybody. Nobody is ever the same person all the time. This was a very good topic too bring up Bird.:sunglasse
How 'bout being a vacuum cleaner salesman with herpes? Maybe a dentist with six toes. A Japanese plumber with a really bad toupee and one testicle.... on his forehead. Lack of sleep must be getting to me.
I had a therapist who told me part of my personality disorder(s) was that of all my personality's I had not yet had a true 'self identity' so I guess that myself could be forever changing until I am able to "establish an identity as who I am as a person or determine who I am as far as a single person with a single self identity". Needless to say as we were working on my abandonment issues....she resigned her position at the mental health organizaton, which has left me even more selfless than before ever starting to trust and doing therapy....
