Flutterby™! : who we think we are

RT Buffy the Psych Prof @DrPsyBuffy@mstdn.social

I recently had a man say to me, “I’m sorry I’m not the man you thought I was.” But the reality is that he is not the man *he* thinks he is and therein lies the problem. Many of us are fairly clueless about ourselves because we’ve lived our entire lives being whoever we think we are supposed to be for other people and thus never actually get a chance to find out who we *actually* are. And sometimes that turns out to be a shocking surprise to everyone, including ourselves.
