It's funny, but I am gong to reuse a comment I made elsewhere recently
Each of us, has a few different selves we show:
1 we show to the larger world.
1 we show to our local town, slightly more open.
1 we show to our closest friends and family.
and 1 we show, to no one. sometimes we are even afraid to show true self to ourselves.
True. But my dream and my work is to integrate those separate selves into one and be wholly authentic in more and more settings . It’s challenging though..,old roles we are used to playing, fulfilling others expectations who are comfortable with the old games...
well, it is hard, fighting human nature in fact.
People often have a hard time showing that true inner self. it is a great goal.
