Why You'Re Not Who You Think You Are

Why You'Re Not Who You Think You Are explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.



Truth is, you weren’t always a mother, you

are only a mother because you had a child,

only a daughter because you were birthed,

So if everything you believe yourself to be,

is conditional and dependent on something

how to answer this simple yet complicated

question of who we really are. And so, we are

constantly creating identities for ourselves,

consequently getting further and further away

from knowing your true self. Until you realize

your true self, you will go through life playing

different roles to fit in with certain situations.

deeper than the daily life roles we play,

figure out why others don’t work as hard.

According to the pristine blog, Psychology

Today, If we take these self-identifiers and

break them down, we usually find that the person

who claims they are very caring, may be so overly

caring because they have underlying guilt.

The only reason they care so much is because

they think if nobody else cares about this, it

won’t get done and you can’t have that happen.

And sometimes if we look into this even deeper, we

find that this very caring person that is actually

having to care so much. So at this point,

them? Are they caring, guilty, or resenting?

Or what about the very hard worker. Why are they

working so hard? Do they fear not having the

funds to pay for the life they want? Do they fear

that everyone around them isn’t capable of doing

the job to their expectations? Or do they just

need an escape from the life they have at home?

we may find that they actually resent having to

work so hard, and wish everyone around them would

pick up their slack. So who is this individual?

A hard worker, a lost soul, or a control freak?

victim role. This classic role refers to people

going through their lives feeling victimized

by the world and everyone in it, believing

everything and everyone is out to get them.

It is known in psychology that these people

actually create a life for themselves that they

are needed to play the victim such as; attracting

abusive spouses, attracting disrespectful bosses,

etc. So are these people victims or is it

all just a roll they play in their minds?

their life-roles entirely. This usually happens

after a big life changing event or crisis such as

the loss of a loved one, the changing of careers,

or something as simple as having a baby. So,

if our self-identity is based solely off of the

roles we play, yet the roles we play are so easy

to alter, then who we are is always changing

- in fact, who we are is entirely conditional.

The most important thing to keep in mind when

asking yourself the question “who am I” is that

these roles are entirely fabricated and have

little to do with who you are at a subconscious,

soul level. They are not the real person hiding

behind all of the roles we attach to ourselves.

distractions we learn to use at an early age as a

coping and defense mechanism. Once we realize that

this coping mechanism can get us what we want, or

have people view us the way we want, we begin

to use them as an identification for ourselves.

are “a good little girl or boy for mommy,

they will get a cookie after dinner”. So, now

they know if they put on the good little girl

by being helpful, good listeners, etc. they

necessarily helpful, or good at listening

(most children aren’t), but they can definitely

play that role for a while to be rewarded.

So, in the end, the question “Who am I?” can be

answered by saying we are all made up of thoughts,

patterned- behaviours, opinions, and feelings.

And these things may and will change many times

throughout our lives. Who we are is never

yourself on a spiritual or soul level, you will

always be learning and growing through life.

The real question should be, “Who am I right now”?
