I was thinking about how I would describe personality, my personality. What is personality?

This popped into my head...
A mask of callused skin behind which lie sense impressions.

How would you describe your personality?

a mirage.
it only exists when i'm not looking at it.
or maybe it only exists when i'm looking directly at it.

i don't know. either way; sometimes it exists, sometimes it doesn't.

My personality is a web.

I catch everything in my web, everything has an effect on me in some way. Things stick to me for a very long time, no matter how insignificant they are.

A complex series of mutually reinforcing cogs and gears that manage to repair one another more quickly than they break down. Growth is slow, but maintainable.

My personality is a cocoon. A protective casing visible to the outside world covering...something else entirely ...

How would you describe your personality?

If you build your personality from the outside, you end up like a crab with a hard outer shell - an exoskeleton. And if you want to grow you must first shed your outer shell otherwise it will strangle you.

But if you build from the inside, you end up like a leopard, lithe and strong. Your personality permeates your whole body and grows when you do.

The nicest thing I have found is to slowly express my inner self so that my inner self becomes my normal personality.

What can I say? When I express my inner self successfully in the outer world, I feel joy.

The manifestation of my inner being as it is expressed through my body into the outside world, allowing me to engage with the people and objects in the places I travel through each day. :)

It's what simultaneously connects me to and separates me from everyone else.
