THE IDEA OF ME IS NOT ME

Send us a text

Have you ever felt like you were being cared for based on the idea of you rather than you?
 
 The idea of you isn't what you project, but rather an idealized image of you that someone may construct in their mind and approach you with, care for, and even fall in love with. 
 The downside of that is the eventual realization that you may never live up to that image they have, and once that happens the nature of the interaction has little to no chances to go any further.
 As painful as it is to go through that later phase, things can be worked on should both parties be willing to put in the effort otherwise it's fated.
The idea of someone isn't who they are, it's who you portray them to be, a picture you enforce on them and want them to live up to. That of course never goes anywhere because the moment they act themselves, you will feel a certain kind of way, that perfect image you had in mind will suddenly be shattered to pieces and everything you felt along.
 It's unfortunate we can't predict how people will approach us nor can we be certain of knowing if whether they care for us for who we are or the idea of us.
Beware to watch how people relate to you, compromises are great, betterment of your thought process is great but what's not is trading your identity to fit in the canvas on someone's idea of you.
