Feeding the Third Circle

Imagine your Identity as three circles in a Ven Diagram; Who You Want to Be, Who You Think You Are, and Who Others Think You Are. The intersection in the center would represent the greatest approximation of your Identity.

I got caught up this week spending time thinking about how others think of me as I found myself looking at a few people and starting to become critical in how they are stuck on always having to over identify with something. Or at least the appearance of such is so from my point of view.
