It almost seems redundant but looking back on my childhood lately has revealed a few things to me. mostly that i ended up having many of the social traits of people who i looked up to also seemingly obvious. but how could we do this even seeing the flaws of the personality we try to mimic. what are we to become if we had chosen to take on a destructive personality? i only bring it up because i was recently replaying my favorite game as a kid final fantasy 8 and realized i thought vary similar to squall the things he says and the way he acts towards people. also i have his restless mind and social awkwardness. as in i find it hard to consume myself with other people i hate being felt sorry for or feeling sorry, i think everyone needs to be self sufficient and cant stand thinking about what people are gonna say about me when im dead. its just strange how i could have subconsciously molded my personality and makes me wonder what else did i shape myself into and why? would i even remember? i know it kinda sounds dumb but how else can i explain it we take on admired personalities flaws and all. when our foundation crumbles whats really underneath? i guess after all that rambling my real question is why do i decide i want to be them. is it that the host personality seems to have solutions to our problems and that being more like them will give me an easier life? or is it that their problems seem admirable in comparison? and finally how is this done when we are so naive to the fact?
