I've called it channeling, like if i need confidence in talking with people I channel my friend julie. If I feel like Insecure about my looks I pretend im kyle or sam. I dont tell anyone, just in my head i become someone else.
Many self-help books tell you to imagine you are a different/better/more confident... person to yourself when in different situations. I'm not sure it's a great idea, but it must work.
It's not very healthy to identify certain traits as belonging to distinguishable identities within yourself. In fact, just the idea that you're able to "channel" all these traits demonstrates that you, as a whole and not as a collective, posses each and every one of those abilities. You're not sectionalized; you're a super-you waiting for you to utilize. o.O
As long as you never lose touch of what you really are, then I don't see the harm in it.
when i want to masturbate i pretend i'm so and so with the sexiness. just kidding, i kind of do that too, i use one of my friends to give me guidance and spontanaity and and level-headedness, even though he lives thousands of miles away...
I think that's a great tactic for overcoming shyness and stuff, I kinda do the same thing sometimes but I suppose yoo should try and be yourself (: never know people might like yoo better that way (: x
well really you should just be yourself. but yeah you see your friends as role models so you feel subconsciously need to be them in the situations there best at. it's cute lol
Lol I kinda feel where ur comin from to an extent. Except I think of it as "channeling" the specific energy they bring that's identified most with that person like the calm chilled out aunt Della. Lmao but not really pretending to be the person.
Omg this is a great idea I'm gonna do start doing this I hope it helps omg brilliant
