Why Do I Pretend to Be Someone Else? – Vol 531, January 9, 2020
The reason that most people would want to pretend to be someone else is that it is too painful to be who they are – traumatic experiences of the past, creating feelings of unworthiness of love, respect, etc. Many times these feelings of being unworthy came from either an abusive or neglectful parent or a partner that emotionally abused a person.
Most actors and performers are not at all, in reality, the people that they seem to be in their roles. It is their way of escaping being uncomfortable in their own skin while gaining adoration from a bunch of strangers who do not even know them for the real people that they are.
Some of my suggestions for anyone who feels that they are pretending to be someone who they are not, is to get in touch with all the great qualities that you have and then ‘own’ them. If you are in an environment where you are being mistreated in some fashion, you need to extricate yourself from it so that you can be who you are without some abusive individual dragging you down. Then work on building your self-love, self-esteem, and self-respect by never allowing someone to overrun your boundaries and certainly never allow them to hurt you again.
