Are you someone, if you are a world class doctor ?
I don't understand your question.
I don't understand your question, and it gets away from the main point of this. What I am trying to say is absolutely everyone should try and be who they want to be, but recognize when they get away from the core of who they are and are outside of the realm of who they can be. This goes for external things, and internal personalites.
He's saying things like careers and titles don't define a person, so it's not really a limitation on who you are....maybe.
That's fair, but as I said elsewhere in the reply, there are still limits beyond that. I've tried to push myself around in multiple ways to be who I ideally want to be, and while I have come a long way there is only so much that I can do. One of the biggest is finding ways to be detailed oriented and consistent with it. I've tried, and have come along way, but I have to accept that I can only go so far with it, there is a limit.
Your limit, there is noone else who can put a limit onto yourself except for you.
You think that the person you are needs fixing and isnt loveable this way and thats why you will never be happy in life.

Not all of my limits are self imposed. What you're saying is that anyone can be who they want if they just try. They should, because that's how you better as a person. However the idea that everyone will actually get there just makes the idea of personality completely moot then, which is why I contest it.
That, and the psychoanalysis really is not needed here (nor is it right).
You think you are your ego, that's where the misunderstanding is happening. On a Jungian psychology forum, of all places! Anyway, I should just mind my own business.
Ok I honestly don't understand then. Maybe I am not clear on what limit means in this context?

Why not trieing who you want to be ? The only one who stops you, is you yourself
Sometimes the smartest thing one can do is to hide.
Someone may not know themselves enough to know how to be what they want.
Other times, one may have too many inhibitions to be the way they want to be; an introvert, by concept of looking inward, considers a bit more than an extrovert and tends to see more problems whereas the extrovert runs past them, ignoring them as they create them, dealing with them only if forced.
And in some cases, one may not have a natural proclivity to be who they want - admiration, without emulation.
etc.
The complications are interesting.
