We often show our Outer-personality more than our Inner-personality.
There’s more to this than meets the eye, you can never fully know a person’s true-self rather than the person they decide to show you. We show people what we want them to see. This consists of our internal thoughts and our internal-self/true-self.
The outer-self personality is mostly the personas and masks we display. Your inner-self is complex, this includes your beliefs, values and personality. Now let’s talk about our thoughts also known as our Internal-monologue, ongoing subconscious stream of feelings, thoughts and inner-conversations.
There’s a voice you can “hear” with yourself when pondering over your thoughts and even have conversations with ourselves. The majority can relate to this, however it varies individually and some more than others. Our minds/inner-voice often gives us advice but we seem to brush it aside, sometimes they say “think with your heart not your mind”. The heart is the intuition/feelings and the mind comprises of logic.
We filter our thoughts to the outside world therefore not truly embracing our true-selves. If we truly embraced our true-selves there would be conflict to a certain extent, so that’s why we need to filter our inner-thoughts before we speak. “Think before you speak”.
That’s why we use our intelligence to examine every scenario and use the right words. Sometimes the filtered truth. Imagine how chaotic the society would’ve been if people spoke their unfiltered truth, feelings and thoughts. Now that’s the difference between our inner-personality and outer-personality.
Bluntness isn’t always bad, sometimes people tell the honest truth with good intentions but find it hard to express how they feel. Whether they are good, bad and hurtful thoughts. Maybe that’s why some people end-up showing their true colors, who they truly are without any filters. We go against what is right or think is right to validate our feelings.
People have a hard time processing the truth between what they know is right and what is not. Your inner-self is the very core of your being: your authentic-self. It takes time and practice to control our Internal monologue. When someone asks you if you love them/like them, there’s that inner-voice that say’s yes/no but we tend to filter our feelings and thoughts out of sympathy.
Humans we are strange and complex beings at the same time. The heart affects our thoughts often more than we realize, life isn’t all logical, there is the unseen personality in each of us and it takes deep self-consciousness to truly get in touch with yourself, your inner-personality not your outer-personality that you present to the world.
Sometimes I do believe that we are our own worst enemy and there’s a constant battle between these two personalities. Some people say “You are not your thoughts, you are your actions” however it might contradict in other perspectives. I am of the opinion that we are our “thoughts”, your feelings and actions help you arrive to your thoughts.
There is more than meets the eye and my perspective is like a drop in an ocean of perspectives.
