When a Person Does Not Like Their Identity
All people will at some point disagree with their concept of who they are. They may not believe in themselves as a certain person, or may not like who they are, or the implications of being a certain type of person.
In this situation, a person may try to deny their identity; they will become untrue to themselves. They could wave another country’s flag, or force themselves to act unnaturally, or conform to people unlike themselves and to their expectations.
A person can choose to repress their disposition, or accept who they are and where they come from, and learn to live with the associated costs. It is a dilemma every person encounters.
Sometimes, a person can change his or her nature. If a man labels himself as a poor reader, he can fill his time with books and learn to read at a high level. Other times, a solution may not be available. A person in conflicts with elements of his or her identity has to learn to deal with it, and continue learning. Knowledge heals; they can improve their situation with patience and open mind. While one cannot easily change who they are, striving for the better is their option. The silver lining in such scenario is that people are not static; change always comes, even if slowly.
