Your true identity is probably not what you think it is. It depends on thousands of factors such as your childhood experience, your education, your lifestyle, your habits, your secret and open desires, and much more.

Additionally, your conscious “knowledge” about who you are is also determined by the fact who you want to be or who you hate to become. Furthermore, what we think we are is nothing but just a self-perception.

Watching ourselves in a mirror or watching our pictures gives us an “impression” who we appear to be - or how we look like. However, you would be terribly surprised how this “image” differs from the truth or the way other people see us.

Whether we want to admit it or not, we don’t know ourselves as good as we want to, by far. On an objective scale, others might see us much more “objectively” if they are fair and objective. The “problem” is our brain. Don’t be fooled into the belief that you know what your brain is doing just because it is your brain, psychologists say.
