In reply to: Courtney Wangberg 's message, "Re: The real self" on 17:34:03 03/13/05 Sun

I completely agree with Courtney. Since it does come natural to participate in different behaviors when placed in different situations, it only seems logical that there are different "selves" that we possess. I believe that we chose when and where to show a specific part of ourselves when we find it is appropriate. As for our REAL selves, I would define it as the way we act and feel most often. I would like to think that we like who we are the majority of the time and feel comfortable in saying that it is the real self because if we did not agree with our behavior, I would really hope we would and could change it to complement our thoughts and intentions.
