How Many Personalities Hanging In Your Closet?

How Many Personalities Hanging In Your Closet?

 

I get a chance to go to some very interesting meetings with some very bright people. All should understand you meet very bright people in recovery programs; they were smart enough to do something about their living problems.

Today a person stated that during his “dark” days, he has innumerable personalities hanging in his closet, one for each occasion or person!

Man, could I relate.

My inventory showed me a person (me) who never felt good enough, a person driven to show he was OK, and a person who took great delight in getting the approval from others. I wanted my existence to be validated by “you”, who ever “you” were. It was terribly important.

To make this happen, within reason, I could be almost anyone “you” wanted me to be. To do this, I had a personality for each occasion, much like I kept my wardrobe. One size did not fit all, and I know today each of these personalities contained synthetics, no one, including me, knew the authentic.

Things are vastly improved today, and that is why I believe in the truth of Popeye- I am what I am. And I am Keith Bray.

I know I am not that unique. So I ask, how many personalities do you have in your closet?

I mentor and coach a program that can help you find a beautiful authentic personality in your closet! On you’ll leaqrn to love because it is real.

And thank you John for such a profound statement today. I invite openly requests for a free sample session!

I guess I had about 3 million when I was using. Nowadays I have far less, maybe a couple of handfuls I can absolutey 1000% relate to everything you said about who you were with dictating which one you pulled out of the closet. When I came to the rooms of AA, I thought I knew who I was, but I really had no idea. I'm learning though, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly God bless

Geesh... Does this ever hit home. My problem being validation in order to feel 'good enough'. Strange how behavioral patters are typical (especially when we like to believe "nobody can understand") when we can't accept ourselves. Of course it doesn't go without the 'control' factor of trying to control everything and everyone around us.

Awesome and enlightening post!

I can totally relate to what you have said here. I still don't really know who the real me is but I have moments when I am really in the moment and then I really feel like me, whoever that is. I´m hoping that doing the 4th step will show me more of the real me, good and not so good. That´s what friends say will be the one of the results of doing this essential work. I wouldn´t mind some help.
