Have you ever really gotten into someone, only to discover later that he/she had another side that was completely incompatible with who you are? Yeah? Me too.
But I'd be a hypocrite to deny that I'm free from the reality of a hidden side. The world sees me in the ways I want the world to see me ...... And I hide, as best I can, the sides of me that are not quite so pleasant ...... But though I work to conquer those aspects of myself that I wish to hide, they are nonetheless part of me .....
Being honest with myself, I know they are part of who I really am.
And who gets to see what I hide from the rest of the world? Sadly, it's those I love, draw close to, and begin to trust ...... My weaknesses begin to appear before their eyes ...... And I have to wonder if they think, "Where the hell is the person I fell in love with?"
The person I really am is far deeper than the image everyone sees. There are profound currents that are good, and there are some that are not so good. I am a sea - a universe of thought and life - complete with good and bad - I see it, and don't hide it from those I trust the most ...... It's who I really am.

I used to dwell on what others see and i knew the unhealth of such folly because it leaves you formless and writhing for identity and craving the approval of others. Then i bagan to grasp a view of how i wanted to see myself. But we are just as condemning and harsh a judge of our selves as others are. And so in time i came to a compromise between those two- obligations to "fit in" somewhat and iconography of my best self-and a third. This third dwells at the heart of us all i think. It is the mind which ties the shoelace, the mind which stares in a day dream, it is the natural self when it forgets how to act to BE the best and Be the most acceptable socialite, it is the self which simply BE's. In this i found my true self and under the masks i hike up to suite others or suite me i know this is my face, an ethereal tear in the fabric of the the acting we call life. Its the forgetting of self to unveil the reality of our real truth. Its where words and concepts dissolve and so also its where my description dissolves into an end to this answer.

Most of it , in a relative sense ! The intensity of how we see ourself, decides is directly proportional to how much we become a part of it !

I see myself as a indepedent, common sense, respectful women who loves life, loves her family and adores her friends. I am everything I see myself to be, I am everything I believe myself to be, even if outsiders see me in a different light. Those who judge me, will never get to know me, because they are clouding with stereotypes and ignorance.

We always try to be ourselves, but alot of time reality does not permit it. Human are survisor! We always adopt to situation in order to survive....and to survive, we can't be ourselves all the time.

Most of me, though it is a process that is constantly changing because I constantly change through my life experiences.

I think (dirty) therefore I am (dirty)?
Descartes was a dirty old man, no wonder they edited his famous axiom
Is that what you mean?!
