sometimes i wonder how many versions of me live in people’s minds, and how few of them actually match who i really am 🧐

I think zero

i would guess the same. we all have different versions of the people we surround ourselves with

not only that but we also don't know ourselves, so sometimes what we think is the real us is not the real us

how so? i would think you know yourself better than your friends or family. at least if you have a deep connection to yourself. and also we evolve throughout our life

Everyday I try to have a deeper connection with myself, and very often I figure things about myself that I didn't know.

For example, let's say I talk very loud and I am not conscious of it, in my mind, I will think that I talk normal, but after I realize that I speak loudly, then I'll realize how wrong I was.

But I guess the ultimate core of our friendly discussion is this:

What is the real you? I don't think you are your thoughts, emotions, body and personality

There’s a book called One, No One, and One Hundred Thousand by Luigi Pirandello about this. It’s one of my favorites.

imma add to my list 👀 i love these types of books 📚
