Hi Shamou
Ahh, I see the distinction. And yet for me, the same hurdle remains. I find it difficult to adopt a different persona, especially if it's one very different to the more prominent elements of my personality. Personality change hasn't happened rapidly for me, and for a long time I've been encouraged to "be myself", which was touted as meaning don't pretend to be someone else, even if it's as helpful as projecting confidence when you don't feel it. Which I now think is silly, projected confidence gradually becomes real confidence, I know this now from personal experience.
And so I still identify too closely with my core persona, and found it difficult to be anything else. The ego is strong in this one
But that's changing, slowly
